Source Elements + Storj Case Study

How Source Elements Delivers Near Real-Time Audio Workflows with Storj

Source Elements is a pioneer in remote audio collaboration, trusted by voiceover artists, studios, and major film and television productions. Their flagship product, Source Connect, replaces legacy tools like ISDN with a flexible, high-quality streaming solution. But for truly seamless global collaboration, they needed a better way to ensure full-quality audio files could be delivered instantly—regardless of internet hiccups. That’s where Storj came in.

“Storj made a huge difference—not just for our workflows, but for our customers. It checks all the boxes: speed, security, simplicity.”

Rebecca Wilson

CEO at Source Elements

Shorter sessions, fewer retakes.

Streamlined recordings with minimal technical interruptions.

More creative time

Eliminated troubleshooting to maximize focus and flow.

Faster delivery, anywhere.

Near real-time access to full-quality files supports global collaboration.

Challenge.

Live streaming over the public internet is powerful—but unreliable. During remote recording sessions, dropouts and glitches are inevitable. That meant actors often had to repeat takes, and engineers wasted valuable session time troubleshooting instead of creating. Source Elements needed a way to deliver clean, high-quality files—even when the stream failed—without requiring extra infrastructure or complex setups.

Solution.

By integrating Storj’s distributed cloud storage into Source Connect workflows, Source Elements unlocked near real-time file delivery without sacrificing quality or security. Each remote session now streams audio live and simultaneously uploads a pristine local recording to Storj.

Result.

This dual-stream approach gives engineers instant access to the full-quality take—often before they even hit stop on the session. With Storj’s distributed design, data transfers are fast, secure, and globally accessible, making it feel like the recording happened right next door.

“It’s incredible. It’s like I recorded the actor in my own studio. And it’s already there by the time I press play.” — Ross Gillard, VP of Product, Source Elements

With Storj as a key infrastructure layer, Source Elements is expanding its reach into more creative pipelines, empowering creators around the world with instant access to professional-grade tools. Their partnership reflects a growing shift in media workflows—from patchwork setups to integrated, intelligent infrastructure.
