How Mixhaus and Highnote differ across the audio production and review lifecycle.
| Question | Mixhaus | Highnote |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic export capture | Watches selected export folders and captures new versions in the background. | Review starts after audio is uploaded to a Space rather than automatically when a watched export folder changes. |
| Client accounts | Clients can review selected versions without creating a Mixhaus account. | Collaborators can listen and leave feedback without joining, with permissions configurable for invited collaborators and share links. |
| Version feedback | Timestamped notes and decisions stay attached to the exact version heard. | Supports timestamped comments and version switching, as does Mixhaus. |
| Approval | Approval and requested changes are recorded as explicit project decisions. | Offers client approval and feedback workflows alongside version review. |
| Final delivery | Final files can be delivered from the same project with a retained record. | Supports controlled downloads; Mixhaus retains final delivery in the same client project record. |
