Assigning Songs

In Producer Dashboard, projects (sometimes called buckets) are where you organize your work. Assigning songs to projects helps you group tracks by album, client, release campaign, or any workflow that suits your needs. This page walks you through how it all works.

What Is a Project?

Section titled “What Is a Project?”

A project is essentially a container that holds your tracks. Think of it like a playlist or a folder — it keeps related songs together so you can find them quickly and track progress across a body of work.

Projects can be simple (like “Q1 Singles”) or structured in hierarchies with parent and child projects. You can also set default collaborators on a project, and any track added to it will automatically inherit those collaborators.

Assigning a Single Song

Section titled “Assigning a Single Song”

When you want to move one track into a project, the sidebar makes it easy:

  1. Select the track in your grid by clicking on it
  2. Look at the bucket assignment field in the overview widget — it shows the track’s current project (or “Unassigned” if it isn’t in one)
  3. Click the project dropdown in the sidebar
  4. Choose the target project from the list
  5. The assignment updates immediately, and the track appears in that project’s view

You can also remove a track from all projects by selecting the “Unassigned” option.

Assigning Multiple Songs at Once

Section titled “Assigning Multiple Songs at Once”

Need to add several tracks to a project in one go? Select multiple tracks in the grid (hold Shift or Ctrl/Cmd to pick more than one), then:

  1. With your selection active, right-click or use the bulk actions menu
  2. Choose Assign to Project
  3. Pick the target project from the dropdown
  4. All selected tracks are assigned simultaneously

This is especially useful when you’ve finished a batch of mixes, or when you’re organizing tracks by client or album.

Using Drag and Drop

Section titled “Using Drag and Drop”

The sidebar supports drag-and-drop assignment for quick workflows:

  1. Click and hold on a track in your grid
  2. Drag it toward the sidebar
  3. The sidebar expands to show your projects while you’re dragging
  4. Drop the track onto the desired project

If a project has child projects nested under it, you’ll see those nested items appear as you hover over the parent. This helps you assign directly to the right level.

Multi-Bucket Assignment

Section titled “Multi-Bucket Assignment”

One powerful feature is that a track can belong to multiple projects at once. This means a song can live in both your “Client A” project and your “Q2 Releases” project simultaneously.

To assign a track to additional projects (without removing existing assignments):

  1. Select the track or tracks you want to modify
  2. Instead of choosing a new project directly, look for the Add to Project option
  3. Select the additional project

The track keeps its current assignments and gains the new one. This is non-exclusive — tracks in your archive can still belong to active projects too.

Removing Songs from Projects

Section titled “Removing Songs from Projects”

To remove a track from a project:

  1. Select the track in the grid
  2. Open the sidebar assignment dropdown
  3. Deselect the project you want to remove it from, or choose “Unassigned” to remove it from all projects

You can also remove multiple tracks at once using the bulk actions menu and selecting Remove from Project.

What Happens to Collaborators?

Section titled “What Happens to Collaborators?”

When you add a track to a project that has default collaborators set, those collaborators are automatically applied to the track. This saves you from adding the same people manually every time you assign a track.

If a track already has collaborators assigned, adding it to a project won’t remove them — it adds the project’s defaults on top of what’s already there.

Viewing Tracks in Nested Projects

Section titled “Viewing Tracks in Nested Projects”

When you select a parent project in the sidebar, you’ll see not just the tracks in that project, but also tracks in all of its child and grandchild projects. This makes it easy to review a whole release campaign or label back catalog at once.

Selecting a child project on its own shows only that project’s tracks, giving you a more focused view.

Tips

Section titled “Tips”
  • Use clear naming — Give your projects names that make it obvious what’s inside, like “Album 2026” or “Brand X Campaign”
  • Set defaults early — Define default collaborators on a project before adding tracks, so the assignment process is smoother
  • Multi-bucket is flexible — Don’t be afraid to assign tracks to multiple projects when it makes sense for your workflow
  • Bulk selection is your friend — When organizing a batch of finished tracks, select them all and assign in one action
