Sessions, productions, feedback and deliveries — for the artists you actually work with week after week. Permanent logins, a shared calendar, and a player that lets clients A/B between mix versions without a single click of latency.
Four phases. Same artists, same studio team, no email chaos in between.
Not a generic project manager. Every feature exists because studios kept asking for it.
You book sessions; your artist can request one back, propose an alternative time, or ask for a reschedule on an existing booking. Optionally link a session to a production. Subscribe via an RFC 5545 iCal feed — every artist gets their own subscription link.
Each of your artists gets their own account, not a recycled magic link. They log in once and see every production, every session, every comment thread you ever had together.
Lyrics, instrumental, vocals, mix & master, cover art, paid. When all six are checked, the production is marked complete automatically. The artist sees the same checklist in their portal.
Comments anchored to the playhead in MM:SS. Reply directly under a comment to keep a thread — no flat list of dangling notes. Studio and artist see the same conversation.
Upload v1, v2, v3 of a mix. The player pre-decodes every version up front and crossfades between them via a gain node — no pause, no buffer reload, no seek. Detail below.
Hand over masters and stem packs from a dedicated delivery section. Multiple team members on the Studio plan, with separate logins and shared visibility into every artist's history.
Artist and studio can both edit the lyrics of a production. Every save is broadcast in real time over the same channel that powers presence and feedback — the other side sees the new version without a reload.
Link each artist to their Spotify ID and we snapshot daily stream counts per track. A separate playlist tracker watches curated playlists for follower changes and placement opportunities. Both are scoped to your studio.
When your artist opens the player, every version of a track — v1, v2, v3 — is decoded into memory up front through the browser's Web Audio API. Each version sits on its own gain node, all of them wired to the same output.
Switching to another version is a single call: gain.setValueAtTime(0, ctx.currentTime) on the old version, gain.setValueAtTime(1, ctx.currentTime) on the new one. No HTML5 <audio> swap, no load(), no seek. The playhead position is preserved exactly. There is no audible gap.
Most browser-based players take a different route — one HTML5 audio element per version, which pauses and re-buffers on every switch. The Web Audio approach is what makes the playhead-preserving cross-fade possible.
