The Tracks Grid
The Tracks Grid gives you a bird’s-eye view of every song, stem set, and bounce in your library. It’s the main workspace for browsing your music, finding specific tracks, and performing bulk actions across multiple songs at once.
Unlike the card view, the grid packs more information into less space — perfect when you need to scan dozens of tracks quickly or compare details like BPM, key, and collaborators side by side.
Understanding the Columns
Section titled “Understanding the Columns”The grid displays your tracks in a table with columns for each piece of information. Here’s what you’ll see:
| Column | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Song Name | The track’s display name (like “Summer Vibes”) derived from the filename after stripping extensions and version suffixes |
| Stage | Your current workflow stage (default stages are Seed, Sprout, Sapling, Tree, and Flower, but you can customize these) |
| Workflows | Active workflow states like “Mixing,” “Mastering,” or “Awaiting Feedback” |
| Tags | Custom tags you’ve applied to organize your tracks (genre, mood, client, and so on) |
| Collaborators | Circular avatar circles showing who’s working on the track — you always appear first |
| Excitement | A visual scale from 0 to 100 representing how excited you feel about this track |
| Fav | A heart icon — click it to mark a track as a favourite |
| Date Modified | When the track was last updated or a new version was added |
| Due Date | Any deadline you’ve set for the track |
| Buckets | Which project folders or playlists the track belongs to |
| Key | The musical key of the track if detected or entered |
| BPM | The tempo in beats per minute if set |
Display Names vs. Folder Names
Section titled “Display Names vs. Folder Names”The Song Name column shows a friendly, readable version of your track — “Late Night Groove” instead of “late_night_groove_v3_final_001.wav”. This name is automatically derived from the filename by stripping the file extension and version suffixes (like _v3, _final, _master).
If you rename a track manually, that name is saved and won’t be overwritten when you sync new files. Your custom naming always takes priority.
Sorting Your Tracks
Section titled “Sorting Your Tracks”Click any column header to sort your tracks by that value. Click again to reverse the sort order. A small arrow indicator shows which column is currently sorted and whether it’s ascending or descending.
Common sorting scenarios:
- Find your newest work — click “Date Modified” to see recently updated tracks at the top
- Organize by stage — sort by Stage to group tracks at the same point in your workflow
- Prioritize favourites — sort by the heart column to bring your favourite tracks front and center
Selecting Tracks
Section titled “Selecting Tracks”Click any row to select that track and open its details in the activity panel. When you need to work with multiple tracks at once, use these selection techniques:
- Single click — selects the track and deselects everything else
- Shift + click — extends your selection to include all tracks between the last selected and the one you clicked
- Ctrl/Cmd + click — adds or removes individual tracks from your selection without affecting others
When multiple tracks are selected, the activity panel switches to a multi-select view showing summary information like combined collaborator lists and shared bucket assignments.
Filtering Your View
Section titled “Filtering Your View”The Tracks Grid works hand-in-hand with the filter panel to narrow down your library. You can filter by:
- Stage — show only tracks at a specific workflow stage
- Workflows — include or exclude tracks with certain workflow states
- Tags — display tracks that have (or don’t have) specific tags
- Collaborators — find tracks you’re working on with specific people
- Excitement — set a range slider to focus on tracks you’re most (or least) excited about
- Status — filter by planned, active, or other status categories
Exclusion Filters
Section titled “Exclusion Filters”You can also exclude certain tracks from your view. For example, if you want to see everything except tracks tagged “Client Work,” use the exclude filter for that tag. The excluded items appear struck through in the filter panel so you can easily see what’s being hidden.
Active filters are counted and displayed in the filter button, so you always know how many criteria are currently applied.
Searching Tracks
Section titled “Searching Tracks”The search bar at the top of the page scans multiple fields simultaneously. When you type a search term, the grid instantly filters to show tracks matching your query in:
- Song name and display name
- Artist name
- Current stage
- Bucket and project names
- Tags
- Active workflows
Start typing “summer” and you’ll see every track with “summer” in its name, tags, or assigned buckets.
Customizing Columns
Section titled “Customizing Columns”You have full control over which columns appear and how they’re arranged.
Resizing Columns
Section titled “Resizing Columns”Hover over the right edge of any column header until the resize cursor appears. Drag to make the column wider or narrower. The grid remembers your sizes for future sessions.
Reordering Columns
Section titled “Reordering Columns”Click and hold on a column header, then drag it to a new position. The columns will reorder in real time. Your custom arrangement is saved automatically.
Hiding Columns
Section titled “Hiding Columns”Open the column manager from the toolbar (look for a columns icon). Here you can toggle columns on and off. The Song Name column cannot be hidden — it’s always visible.
Your column preferences persist across sessions, so your personalized view is restored each time you return.
Quick Cell Actions
Section titled “Quick Cell Actions”Several columns have interactive elements that open popups when clicked:
- Stage — click to change the track’s workflow stage
- Workflows — click to add, remove, or update workflow states
- Tags — click to manage the track’s tags
- Collaborators — click to open the collaborators panel
- Due Date — click to set or clear a deadline
- Buckets — click to reassign the track to different projects
Clicking these cells opens a floating panel without triggering track selection or playback. You can still use Shift+click and Ctrl/Cmd+click for multi-select while these panels are open.
Favouriting Tracks
Section titled “Favouriting Tracks”The heart icon in the Fav column toggles a track’s favourite status. When multiple tracks are selected, clicking the heart updates all of them at once. Favourites are a quick way to flag tracks you want to revisit or prioritize.
