Common questions from music libraries
Which comes first, the project or the brief?
The project. Start the album in Project Planner with its brief, due date and tracks, then click New inbox on it. The inbox is filled in with the same title, brief and due date. Change the project's due date or brief later and the inbox follows, unless you gave it its own.
Can tracks from a brief go straight onto an album?
Yes, on Studio. Every track you accept in the linked inbox is added to the album as Approved with the next catalog code, and a new version you group under the original with Group as versions, before you accept it, takes over the row of the original instead of adding a second one. Pending tracks never show on the album.
Can I send a brief to my whole roster at once?
Yes, on Studio. Send to roster emails the brief to the people you pick, filtered by role, rating or tag, each in their own email from your business name. You can send one reminder, at least 24 hours later, to anyone who has not submitted.
Do I need Studio to collect submissions?
No. The Inbox is on every plan: Artist includes 3 inbox requests, and Pro and Studio are unlimited. Project Planner, Roster and Send to roster are part of Studio, from $29 a month billed annually.
