Pibox makes it easy to leave precise, time-stamped feedback on any audio file by letting you comment directly on the waveform. This feature streamlines communication by allowing collaborators to focus on specific moments in a file. No more vague messages or guessing what part of the track needs what changes.

You can either watch a quick video or follow the step-by-step guide below to learn how to leave comments directly on the waveform.

How to leave a time-stamped comment

Leaving time-stamped feedback in Pibox is easy! Just follow these three steps to learn how to comment on the waveform.

Step 1: Upload and play the file

Upload your audio file to Pibox. Once uploaded, click to play and listen until you reach the part that needs feedback.

Step 2: Select the range

You can create a feedback range in two ways:

  • Manual selection: Click and drag on the waveform to highlight the section you want to comment on.

  • The Range button: Click this to automatically select a 20-second range from your current playback position. You can then adjust its length or position.

Note: You can resize or move the selected range anytime to match the exact moment you want to discuss.

Helpful tools in the playback toolbar

Pibox offers several tools to fine-tune your feedback:

  • Loop – Replay a selected section continuously to review it in detail.

  • Zoom – Zoom in on the waveform for more precise range selection.

  • Speed control – Adjust playback speed to listen more slowly or quickly.

Note: Pitch correction is enabled by default to preserve the original tone when changing the speed.

Step 3: Write and submit your comment

Once your range is selected:

  • Click inside the comment box that appears.

  • Write your comment; you can also @mention team members in comments.

  • Press Enter or click Submit a comment.

Your comment will now appear linked to that exact range, visible on the waveform. Collaborators can respond directly, keeping the conversation focused on specific moments.

With time-stamped comments on the waveform, Pibox eliminates the chaos of back-and-forth revisions, helping your team stay aligned and deliver faster.
