Producer Dashboard

Multi-Project Selection

Sometimes you need to see tracks from several projects at once without switching back and forth. Producer Dashboard’s multi-project selection lets you highlight multiple projects in the sidebar and view all their tracks together in a single combined grid.

How to Select Multiple Projects

Section titled “How to Select Multiple Projects”

Multi-project selection works with familiar keyboard shortcuts in the sidebar:

Shift-Click for a Range

Section titled “Shift-Click for a Range”
  1. Click the first project in the range
  2. Hold Shift and click the last project in the range
  3. Every project between those two (inclusive) gets selected
  4. The grid updates to show tracks from all selected projects

Cmd-Click (Mac) or Ctrl-Click (Windows) for Individual Picks

Section titled “Cmd-Click (Mac) or Ctrl-Click (Windows) for Individual Picks”
  1. Click the first project you want
  2. Hold Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and click additional projects one by one
  3. Each clicked project toggles in or out of the selection
  4. The grid shows the combined tracks from all highlighted projects

You can mix both methods. Select a range with Shift, then Cmd/Ctrl-click to add or remove specific projects.

What You See in the Grid

Section titled “What You See in the Grid”

When multiple projects are selected, the grid shows every track from all the selected projects mixed together. The bucket column in the grid tells you which project each track belongs to, so you can still see the origin at a glance.

All the usual grid features work on this combined view:

  • Sort by any column (song name, stage, date, BPM, etc.)
  • Filter to narrow down within the combined set
  • Select tracks for bulk actions
  • Change stages, tags, or other properties on individual tracks

Use Cases

Section titled “Use Cases”

Viewing All Tracks for a Release Season

Section titled “Viewing All Tracks for a Release Season”

Say you have three projects — “Summer Single A”, “Summer Single B”, and “Summer EP”. Select all three to see every track for your summer release slate in one view. Sort by stage to see what’s closest to done.

Comparing Across Client Projects

Section titled “Comparing Across Client Projects”

Working on multiple client projects at the same time? Select them together to see all active work in one grid. Sort by due date to prioritise what needs attention first.

Cross-Project Tag Review

Section titled “Cross-Project Tag Review”

Select several projects, then filter by a tag like “needs mixing” to find every track across those projects that still needs a mix pass. This is faster than checking each project individually.

Preparing a Live Set

Section titled “Preparing a Live Set”

Your live set might pull tracks from multiple albums and projects. Select the relevant projects, then scan through the combined list to plan your setlist.

Deselecting Projects

Section titled “Deselecting Projects”

To go back to viewing a single project, just click it normally (without holding Shift or Cmd/Ctrl). The multi-selection clears and you see only that project’s tracks.

To deselect a single project from a multi-selection, Cmd-click (Mac) or Ctrl-click (Windows) on it to toggle it off.

To see all tracks regardless of project, deselect everything in the sidebar or use the “All Tracks” option if available.

Things to Know

Section titled “Things to Know”
  • Multi-selection is temporary. It’s a view filter, not a saved state. If you navigate away and come back, you’ll need to re-select your projects. For persistent combined views, consider using saved views with project filters.
  • Bulk actions apply across projects. If you select tracks from different projects and do a bulk stage change, all selected tracks update regardless of which project they belong to.
  • Nested projects are independent. Selecting a parent project does not automatically select its children. You need to select each child project individually if you want their tracks included.

Combining with Other Filters

Section titled “Combining with Other Filters”

Multi-project selection stacks with all other grid filters. For example:

  1. Select three projects in the sidebar
  2. Filter the grid to show only tracks in the “Mixing” stage
  3. Sort by due date ascending
  4. Now you see every track across those three projects that’s currently in mixing, ordered by deadline

This combination of project selection and grid filtering is powerful for getting exactly the view you need.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Use multi-project selection for planning sessions where you need to see the big picture across several bodies of work.
  • Combine it with sorting by due date to quickly spot what’s most urgent across everything you’re working on.
  • If you find yourself selecting the same group of projects frequently, consider nesting them under a parent project for easier access, or creating a saved view.
