Calendar in DropCue Studio reads the dates from the tools you already use: brief deadlines, cue and project due dates, project events like mix and master, deliveries, release dates, tracks coming in, pitch follow-ups, to-dos and proposal dates. Anything you owe that is late shows in red. Anything due today shows in amber.
Get Studio →Nine slides: the Month, Day and List views, the six filters, ticking things done, and adding or moving a date. Press Next or Auto-play, or open it full screen.
A brief deadline in your inbox, a cue due on a project, a follow-up on a pitch, a release on an album. Calendar reads each one from the record it lives on, so there is nothing to copy over and nothing to keep in step.
Month lays out every date as a grid that fills the window, with +N more on a busy day. Day shows one day with tick boxes. List shows six weeks, day by day, starting today, and Go to date jumps to any day. On a phone, Calendar opens on List.
Briefs, Projects, Releases, Incoming, Follow-ups and Proposals. Turn on only what you need. Calendar remembers your filters and your view in the browser you use.
Project and cue due dates, project events, follow-ups and to-dos go overdue. Brief deadlines and releases simply pass. Once a project is delivered, invoiced, paid or closed, its dates stop going overdue.
In Day, tick a to-do or a project event to mark it done. Tick a pitch follow-up and it is logged on the pitch in Pitch Pipeline too. Cues have Open instead, because you finish them on the project.
Each tick and each date change is saved to the record it came from, so the project, the pitch and your to-dos show the same thing. Each one offers Undo.
Press Add for a to-do, on a project or on its own, or an event on a project such as Mix, Master, Stems, Delivery, Recording or Spotting. In Month, hover a day and click the small plus to add on that day.
Click any item to change its date, rename a to-do or event, or open the brief, project, pitch or album it came from. Deliveries, tracks coming in and proposal dates are read only here; you change those where they live.
Give a project and its cues due dates in Project Planner, set a follow-up on a pitch, or add a deadline to a brief. Each one shows up on Calendar on its own.
Turn the six filters on or off: Briefs, Projects, Releases, Incoming, Follow-ups and Proposals. Pick Month, Day or List.
On today, anything overdue sits at the top. Tick off to-dos, project events and follow-ups as you finish them, and open a cue to finish it on its project.
Click an item to give it a new date, or press Add for a new to-do or project event. If you change your mind, press Undo.
Most keep a spreadsheet per job, follow-ups in their head and brief deadlines in an inbox, which is how a cue due date or a stems request gets missed. DropCue Studio's Calendar is a music production calendar that puts brief deadlines, cue and project due dates, project events, deliveries, releases, pitch follow-ups and to-dos on one calendar, read from the tools they already live in, with anything you owe that is late in red.
Six groups, each with its own filter. Briefs: brief deadlines. Projects: project and cue due dates, project events like Mix or Master, and deliveries sent, received and accepted. Releases: album and project release dates. Incoming: the tracks that came in on each brief, counted by day. Follow-ups: pitch follow-ups and your to-dos. Proposals: the day an open proposal expires and the day one is accepted.
Only when you owe it and it is not done. Project and cue due dates, project events, pitch follow-ups and to-dos go red once their day has passed, and show in amber on the day they are due. Brief deadlines, releases, deliveries and tracks coming in are events, so they simply pass. A project that is delivered, invoiced, paid or closed stops going overdue.
Yes. In Day, tick a to-do or a project event and it is marked done on its project or To-dos tab. Tick a pitch follow-up and the follow-up is logged on the pitch in Pitch Pipeline. Every tick offers Undo. Cues and project due dates have an Open button instead, because you finish them by changing their status on the project.
Yes. Press Add for a to-do, on a project or on its own, or for an event on a project, on the day you pick. Click any item to change its date, rename a to-do or event, or open where it came from. A date change offers Undo. Deliveries, tracks coming in and proposal dates are read only on Calendar, because they are set where they live.
No. Calendar shows the dates already in your DropCue work and does not import from or export to other calendar apps. Every change you make on it is saved back to the project, pitch, brief or to-do it belongs to, so the rest of DropCue stays in step.
