Using Tags

Tags are custom labels you attach to your tracks to keep things organised. Think of them as flexible, colour-coded stickers — apply as many as you want to any track, then filter your entire grid down to exactly what you need.

Whether you tag by genre, mood, client, session, or anything else that fits your workflow, tags give you a fast way to slice through your library without relying on folder structures alone.

Applying tags to a track

Section titled “Applying tags to a track”

There are two ways to tag a track, depending on where you are in the app.

From the grid (inline dropdown)

Section titled “From the grid (inline dropdown)”
  1. Click on a track row in the grid to select it.
  2. Find the Tags column. Click the tag cell for that row.
  3. The inline tag dropdown opens, showing all your available tags grouped by category.
  4. Click a tag to apply it. A small colour chip appears in the cell immediately.
  5. Click additional tags to apply more than one.
  6. Click away or press Escape to close the dropdown.

The change saves in the background — you do not need to wait for a confirmation before moving on.

From the tags widget

Section titled “From the tags widget”
  1. Select one or more tracks in the grid.
  2. Open the Activity Panel on the right side of the screen.
  3. Switch to the Tags widget tab.
  4. Browse tags by category or use the search field at the top of the widget.
  5. Click any tag to toggle it on the selected tracks.

When you have multiple tracks selected, the widget shows a mixed state: tags that are applied to every selected track appear as fully checked, tags on only some appear as partially checked, and unapplied tags are unchecked.

Removing tags

Section titled “Removing tags”

To remove a tag from a track, open the same inline dropdown or tags widget and click the tag again to deselect it. The colour chip disappears from the grid cell instantly.

If you need to clear all tags from a track at once, open the tags widget with the track selected and click the Clear all option at the bottom of the list.

Colour-coded tags

Section titled “Colour-coded tags”

Every tag has a colour assigned to it. When a tag is applied, its colour chip shows in the grid cell so you can visually scan your library at a glance.

Colours are set when you create or edit a tag in the Tag Manager (see Managing Tags & Categories). Choose colours that make sense for your workflow — for example, red for urgent mixes, green for approved masters, blue for a particular genre.

Multiple tags per track

Section titled “Multiple tags per track”

There is no limit on how many tags you can apply to a single track. A hip-hop beat can be tagged Hip-Hop, Dark, Client: Acme Records, and Ready to Mix all at the same time. Each tag shows as a separate colour chip in the grid.

When the cell runs out of room to display every chip, it shows a count badge like +3 to indicate additional tags. Hover over the cell to see the full list in a tooltip.

Filtering the grid by tag

Section titled “Filtering the grid by tag”

Tags become powerful when you use them to filter your view.

  1. Open the Filter bar at the top of the tracks grid.
  2. Select Tag as the filter type.
  3. Choose one or more tags from the dropdown.
  4. The grid instantly narrows to only tracks that have all selected tags applied (AND logic).

To see tracks that match any of several tags (OR logic), apply each tag as a separate filter row using the Add filter button.

You can combine tag filters with other filters like stage, bucket, BPM, or key to drill down even further. For example, filter to all tracks tagged Lo-Fi in the Mixing stage with a BPM between 80 and 90.

Saving filtered views

Section titled “Saving filtered views”

If you find yourself applying the same tag filters regularly, save the filter combination as a View so you can switch to it with a single click. Views remember all active filters including tags.

Bulk tagging

Section titled “Bulk tagging”

Need to tag a batch of tracks at once? Select multiple rows in the grid using Shift+Click or Cmd+Click, then open the tags widget. Any tag you apply is added to every selected track simultaneously.

This is handy after a recording session when you want to label an entire batch with the session date, client name, or project tag.

Tips for effective tagging

Section titled “Tips for effective tagging”
  • Keep tag names short. Single words or two-word phrases work best in the grid columns.
  • Use categories to group related tags. Genre tags in a “Genre” category, mood tags in a “Mood” category, and so on.
  • Pair tags with stages. Tags describe what a track is; stages describe where it is in your workflow. Use both together for full context.
  • Review tags periodically. If you notice tags you never filter by, consider removing them to keep things clean.
