talkback.se is where a mix gets settled. This is its app: everything you were doing at the desk, carried out to the sofa, the bus and the car. ONE CLOCK, EVERY VERSION A and B and C play on the same clock and only one of them is audible. Switching is a gain change, not a seek, so the comparison happens mid bar with no gap and no restart. That is the whole point of the thing, and it is what makes the difference between two mixes obvious in two seconds rather than two minutes. THE WHOLE RECORD, IN ORDER Album projects play through in sequence, with the levels exactly as they sit. Transitions plays only the seams, the last seconds of one song into the first of the next, with the CD gap if you want it, so you can hear a running order rather than imagine it. SAY IT AT THE SECOND IT HAPPENS Comments carry a timestamp. Tap one and you are at that moment in that version. Reply, react, and edit what you wrote. The conversation is the same one as on the website, live, not a copy, and new comments are marked as new. WHERE EVERY VERDICT STANDS Each version wears its verdict, approved or not, so you can see what has been settled and what is still open before you put the phone down. The final yes is given on the website, on real speakers. SHARE WITHOUT LOSING THE REINS Make a link from the phone and decide what it allows: comment, approve, download, an expiry date, a password, or just the one song. Existing links are listed with what they have seen. IN THE CAR CarPlay shows your projects and song
