Editing Track Details
Producer Dashboard gives you several ways to edit your track information, depending on how much detail you want to change and how fast you want to move.
Inline editing in the grid
Section titled “Inline editing in the grid”The fastest way to make a change. Click directly on any editable cell in the tracks grid and update it right there.
Here is what you can edit inline:
| Field | How it works |
|---|---|
| Song name | Click the name, type the new one, press Enter |
| Stage | Click to open a dropdown of workflow stages |
| Bucket | Click to open a dropdown of your projects |
| Tags | Click to open a tag picker where you can add or remove tags |
| BPM | Click and type a number |
| Key | Click to select from a list of musical keys |
| Due date | Click to open a date picker |
| Excitement | Click to adjust the slider |
Every inline edit saves automatically in the background. The cell updates instantly — you never need to click a save button or wait for a confirmation.
Stage dropdown
Section titled “Stage dropdown”The stage field uses a dropdown with colour-coded options that represent your workflow:
- Idea — just a concept or rough sketch
- Scripted — planned out and ready to record
- Ready to Capture — session is prepped
- Captured — recording is done
- Editing — working on arrangement, mixing, or mastering
- Ready to Post — finished and ready for release
- Published — out in the world
- Archived — shelved for now
Click a stage to apply it. The grid row updates immediately with the corresponding colour.
Tag picker
Section titled “Tag picker”The inline tag picker lets you search through your existing tags and toggle them on or off. You can also create new tags on the fly by typing a name that does not exist yet and confirming.
Tags are a flexible way to categorise your music beyond stages and buckets. Use them for anything: genre, mood, collaborator name, release target, or whatever system works for you.
The activity panel
Section titled “The activity panel”When you select a track in the grid, the activity panel opens on the right side of the screen. This panel contains a set of widgets that show detailed information about the selected song.
Available widgets
Section titled “Available widgets”| Widget | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Overview | See and edit the song name, stage, bucket, and favourite status |
| Musical Attributes | Set or update BPM, key, genre, and mood |
| Tags | View and manage all tags on this track |
| Comments | Add notes, feedback, or reminders about the song |
| Files | See all audio files and project files attached to this track group |
| Collaborators | Manage who is working on this song and split percentages |
| Due Date | Set or change the deadline |
The activity panel is ideal when you want to review and update several fields on a single song without jumping between screens.
Ghost popup widgets
Section titled “Ghost popup widgets”Some fields open a small floating widget when you click them in the grid. These “ghost popups” give you a compact editing interface that appears right next to the cell you clicked.
For example, clicking a tag cell in the grid might show a small popup with checkboxes for your tags rather than navigating you away from the grid. This keeps you in context while still giving you more editing power than a simple text field.
Ghost popups close automatically when you click elsewhere.
The detail modal
Section titled “The detail modal”For a comprehensive view of a single song, open the detail modal. This gives you a full-screen overlay with every piece of information about the track group in one place.
The detail modal is useful when you want to:
- Review everything about a song before sharing it.
- Make multiple changes across different fields at once.
- See the full history of comments and changes.
- Manage collaborators and splits in detail.
Close the modal to return to the grid.
What fields can be edited
Section titled “What fields can be edited”Here is the complete list of editable fields and where you can change them:
| Field | Inline grid | Activity panel | Detail modal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Song name | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Stage | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Bucket | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Tags | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| BPM | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Key | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Genre | — | Yes | Yes |
| Mood | — | Yes | Yes |
| Due date | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Excitement | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Comments | — | Yes | Yes |
| Collaborators | — | Yes | Yes |
| Favourite | — | Yes | Yes |
How edits are saved
Section titled “How edits are saved”All edits in Producer Dashboard use an optimistic update pattern. That means:
- The screen updates immediately when you make a change.
- The change syncs to the server in the background.
- If the sync fails (rare, but possible), you will see an error notification and the change will be rolled back.
You never have to wait for a loading spinner. The app always feels instant.
Bulk editing
Section titled “Bulk editing”If you need to apply the same change to many songs at once, select multiple tracks using the checkboxes in the grid. A bulk actions bar will appear, letting you change the stage, bucket, tags, or due date for the entire selection in one action.
See The Tracks Grid for more on multi-select and bulk operations.
- Use inline editing for quick one-off changes. It is the fastest path from “I need to update this” to “done.”
- Use the activity panel for focused work on one song. When you are doing a review pass and want to check tags, comments, and attributes for each track.
- Use bulk editing after a session. If you just imported a batch of new recordings, select them all and assign the stage and bucket in one go.
- Add comments liberally. They are a great way to leave notes for your future self about mix ideas, feedback, or next steps.
