Getting Started

1

Set Up Your Artist Roster

Create profiles for yourself, your band, or artists you manage. Add band members in the Members tab — these become available for lookup across all templates.

2

Build Your Song Catalog

Add your original songs with songwriter credits, publishing splits, and ISRC codes. Attach lead sheets and demo recordings for a complete catalog.

3

Add Your Venues

Create records for venues you perform at regularly. Include technical specs, capacity, and booking contacts for efficient gig planning.

4

Book and Track Gigs

Create gig records with venue, financial terms, and logistics. Use the action log for pre-show checklists and post-show settlement notes.

5

Manage Your Finances

Use Royalties to track income from all sources and Expenses to log business costs. Contracts track your legal agreements and payment terms.

6

Explore and Expand

Activate advanced templates like Merchandise, Streaming Analytics, and Marketing as your needs grow. Use hashtags and Deep Search to find anything across your entire music database.

💡

Pro Tips

🔗

Link Records: Use Related Information to connect songs to the gigs where they debuted, or link contracts to the albums they cover. Cross-template linking builds a connected knowledge base.

📅

Calendar Power: Gig dates, tour dates, rehearsals, contract expirations, and equipment service dates all appear on one unified calendar. Use it as your music business command center.

💰

Financial Tracking: Transaction logs on Albums, Contracts, Royalties, Tours, Equipment, and Expenses give you a complete financial picture. Track income and costs across your entire operation.

📝

Set List Builder: Use the List Tab on Set Lists to drag songs into performance order. Create multiple versions for different venue types and set lengths.

#️⃣

Hashtag Everything: Tag records with #TOUR2026, #NEWALBUM, or #PRIORITYVENUE to create cross-template groupings that Deep Search finds instantly.

⚙

Make It Your Own

This collection is a professionally designed starting point, not a locked system. Every template, field, and menu assignment is yours to customize to match how your music business actually operates.

✚ CREATE

Build your own templates from scratch for anything not covered — tour routing sheets, merchandise inventory trackers, fan mailing lists, music video production logs, or sync licensing opportunity records.

✎ MODIFY

Fine-tune any template: change field labels, enable or disable features, update purpose text, or reassign menus. Make each template fit your specific workflow.

❌ REMOVE

Delete templates you don't need, or simply toggle them to Inactive to hide them from menus and browse views without losing the design for later use.

🔬 EXPAND

Combine templates from multiple collections or mix collection templates with your own custom creations for a system that's uniquely yours.

🌟
