Maroon 5’s sixth studio album was recorded as a joint effort between the band and its engineer, Noah Passovoy.
The Avid Cloud products gave the group and recording professional the creative freedom to collaborate remotely to work on the album.
“The speed with which you’re able to send things around with Pro Tools makes for a more organic way to create songs,” says Passovoy.
“Multiple producers, writers and artists can’t always be in the same city at the same time. Avid’s cloud collaboration technology has allowed this to happen. Without it, we couldn’t have done it.”

In addition to supporting the remote collaboration needs of Maroon 5 and the band’s engineer Passovoy, Avid’s Pro Tools recording software and MediaCentral’s cloud solution ease of use facilitated production capabilities the music veterans required to finish the record.
“Avid cloud collaboration enables everyone from up-and-coming artists, to the biggest award-winning, best-selling bands like Maroon 5 to collaborate together from anywhere in the world, giving them a whole new way to create music without limitations,” says Jeff Rosica, president, Avid.
