Searching & Filtering

As your music library grows, finding specific tracks can become challenging. The searching and filtering system in Producer Dashboard lets you cut through hundreds of songs to surface exactly what you need — whether you’re looking for that half-finished idea from last month or all tracks shared with a collaborator.

Quick Search

The search bar sits at the top of the tracks page. Start typing any track name, and results filter in real time as you type.

What you can search for:

Track names and song titles
Version labels like “v3” or “final mix”
Collaborator names
Tags you’ve applied to tracks

The search is forgiving — searching “new song” will match “My New Song,” “New Song v2,” or any variation containing those words. Press Escape to clear the search and see your full library again.

For more targeted filtering, click the Filter button in the toolbar above the tracks grid. This opens a comprehensive filter panel with multiple ways to narrow down your results.

The modal shows how many filters are currently active at the top. When you apply or clear filters, the modal closes and your track grid updates immediately.

Stage & Status Filters

Your tracks move through different stages in your production workflow. Use these filters to see tracks at a specific point in their lifecycle.

Available stages:

Idea — early concepts and rough sketches
Arrangement — structured compositions taking shape
Editing — active work and revisions
Mixing — balance and polish phase
Mastering — final preparation for release
Ready to Post — complete and waiting to go live
Published — tracks that have been released

Click a stage button to include only tracks in that stage. The active stage appears highlighted. Click again to exclude tracks in that stage (they’ll be removed from results rather than included). Click a third time to return to neutral.

Workflow Filters

Workflows represent your personal or team processes for moving tracks forward. You can filter to see tracks in specific workflow states like “In Progress,” “On Hold,” or “Completed.”

Like stage filters, workflow buttons cycle through three states:

Neutral — the workflow doesn’t affect results
Included — only tracks in this workflow appear
Excluded — tracks in this workflow are hidden

Collaborator Filters

When you’re working with other producers, vocalists, or engineers, you can filter tracks by who’s involved.

The collaborator filter shows everyone who has access to your tracks. Select one or more collaborators to see only their tracks. This is useful when you want to review work submitted by a vocalist or check on a mixing engineer’s latest revisions.

You can combine collaborator filters with other filters — for example, see all tracks in the “Editing” stage that involve a specific collaborator.

Excitement Range

Every track has an excitement rating from 0 to 100. This reflects how energized you feel about the track — some ideas spark immediate inspiration while others need more work.

The excitement filter uses a dual slider to define a range:

Drag the left handle to set the minimum excitement level
Drag the right handle to set the maximum excitement level
The blue bar between the handles shows your selected range

Practical uses:

Set minimum to 80 to surface your hottest ideas
Set range to 40-70 to find tracks that are good but need attention
Narrow the range for very specific energy searches

The slider snaps to increments of 10, making it easy to set approximate thresholds without precision clicking.

Custom Tags

Tags give you complete freedom to categorize your tracks however you like. Maybe you tag tracks by genre, mood, client, or release timeline.

In the filter modal, you’ll see all your existing tags organized by group. Select any combination of tags to filter your track list.

Tips for tagging:

Keep tag names consistent — “Hip-Hop” and “Hip Hop” would create duplicate results
Use tag groups to organize related tags (Genre, Mood, Client, etc.)
Apply multiple tags to a single track for flexible filtering

Shared Tracks

If you collaborate with others, you can filter to see tracks shared in specific directions:

Shared With You — tracks that others have shared with your account
Shared By You — tracks you’ve shared with collaborators

This helps you distinguish between incoming collaboration work and your own content that you’ve distributed to others.

Favorites

Mark tracks as favorites for quick access. You can filter to show:

Favorites Only — just your most-loved tracks
Not Favorites — tracks you haven’t starred

The heart icon on any track card toggles its favorite status.

Understanding Inclusion vs Exclusion

When you select a filter, tracks matching your criteria are included in results. When you select it again, tracks matching that criteria are excluded from results.

For example, if you have tracks tagged with genres like “Pop,” “Rock,” and “Jazz”:

First click on “Pop” includes only Pop tracks
Second click on “Pop” excludes Pop tracks (shows Rock and Jazz)
Third click returns “Pop” to neutral (shows all genres)

This works the same way for stages, workflows, collaborators, and tags.

Clearing Your Filters

When you’re done filtering, you have a few options:

Clear individual filters — click the active filter button to return it to neutral
Clear All — the button at the top of the filter modal resets everything at once
Close without saving — clicking outside the modal or the X button discards any changes made in the modal

Your filter settings are remembered when you return to the tracks page, so you can pick up where you left off.

Combining Filters

The real power comes from combining multiple filter types. Here are some useful combinations:

Find neglected ideas:

Stage: Idea
Excitement: 30-60
Status: Not updated in 30+ days

Review collaboration feedback:

Shared With You
Stage: Editing or Mixing
Collaborator: [specific person]

Prepare for release week:

Stage: Ready to Post or Published
Workflow: Completed
Tags: [release timeline tag]

Tips

:::tip Save Frequent Filter Combinations If you find yourself recreating the same filters, consider using the saved searches feature. You can store complex filter combinations and access them with a single click whenever you need them. :::

:::tip Filter Count Indicator The number shown next to the Filter button indicates how many active filters are applied. When you see a high number, you know your results are narrowly focused. A zero means you’re seeing your full library. :::

:::tip Mix Positive and Negative Don’t forget you can include some criteria while excluding others in the same category. For example, include tracks from Collaborator A but exclude those also involving Collaborator B — useful for tracking who contributed to what. :::
