Adding Comments

Comments let you capture feedback, ideas, and notes directly on your tracks. Instead of scribbling in a notebook or losing thoughts in a group chat, everything lives right where it matters — attached to the music.

Where Comments Live

Section titled “Where Comments Live”

You will find comments in the comments widget inside the activity panel. Select a track in the grid, open the activity panel, and switch to the comments tab. All comments for that track appear here in chronological order.

Three Types of Comments

Section titled “Three Types of Comments”

Producer Dashboard supports three comment types, each suited to different situations.

General Text Comments

Section titled “General Text Comments”

A general comment is a simple text note attached to the track as a whole. Use these for high-level feedback, reminders, or anything that does not relate to a specific moment in the audio.

To add a general text comment:

  1. Select a track in the grid
  2. Open the activity panel and go to the Comments tab
  3. Type your comment in the text field at the bottom
  4. Press Enter or click the send button

Your comment appears immediately at the top of the comment thread.

Timestamped Comments

Section titled “Timestamped Comments”

A timestamped comment is linked to an exact moment in the audio. When someone reads the comment, they can click it to jump straight to that point in the waveform. This is ideal for precise feedback like “the snare is too loud here” or “love this transition.”

To add a timestamped comment:

  1. Start playing or load a track into the waveform player
  2. Enable comment mode by clicking the comment icon on the waveform toolbar
  3. Click on the waveform at the exact moment you want to comment on
  4. A comment input appears — type your note and press Enter

A marker appears on the waveform at that timestamp. See Timestamped Comments for the full details.

Range Comments

Section titled “Range Comments”

A range comment covers a section of the track rather than a single point. Use these when your feedback applies to an entire passage — a verse, a drop, a bridge, or any stretch of audio.

To add a range comment:

  1. Enable comment mode on the waveform toolbar
  2. Click and drag across the waveform to highlight a time range
  3. Type your comment in the input that appears and press Enter

The highlighted range stays visible on the waveform as a shaded region with markers at the start and end points. This is perfect for notes like “this section needs more energy” or “the bass feels muddy through here.”

Comment Formatting

Section titled “Comment Formatting”

Comments support plain text. Keep your notes concise and actionable. If you need to call attention to something specific, timestamped and range comments do the heavy lifting — no need for lengthy descriptions of where in the track you mean.

Tips for Effective Commenting

Section titled “Tips for Effective Commenting”
  • Be specific. “Sounds off” is less useful than “the vocal is slightly flat here” with a timestamp.
  • Use timestamps for mix feedback. Clicking the waveform is faster and clearer than typing “at around one minute twenty-ish.”
  • Use ranges for section-level notes. If the whole chorus needs work, highlight it rather than dropping five separate point comments.
  • Use general comments for big-picture items. Overall direction, references, or admin notes that are not time-specific.

Viewing Comments

Section titled “Viewing Comments”

All comments show in the comments widget with:

  • The commenter’s name
  • The comment text
  • A timestamp badge (if it is a timestamped or range comment)
  • The date and time the comment was posted

Click any timestamped comment to jump the waveform player to that exact moment.

What Happens Next

Section titled “What Happens Next”

After adding comments, you can pin important ones to keep them visible, turn them into todos for action tracking, or edit and delete as needed.
