Editing a label

Edit a label using Catalog > Labels. Choose the label you want to edit and click the edit button (or double click on the row). The following form will appear.

Presets & defaults explained

Each label in your account has presets and defaults available which you can change. This gives you the ability to fine-tune the settings that are pre-filled into various forms such as the Soundcloud posting form or the Youtube posting form.

The basic tabs

Set your label's basic info, including light logo, tagline, description, primary genre, genre category, etc.

Provide a dark logo and landing page background. This background is also used on your public files uploader page.

Set your label's website url, WordPress url, podcast url, and blog url. We will include some of these url's in your automated postings.

Set all your social media links so we can include them in your automated postings.

Enable the direct sales shopping cart, enable Soundcloud monetization, set your ISRC base code (if needed), label shop url, bandcamp url, and various DSP url's that point to your label on the DSP's

Message Presets

These preset messages are used in the Demo Manager (incoming files). For example, when someone sends you a file, you will have the ability to approve or reject the demo and a message will be dispatched to them. You have the ability to set 1 approval message and 2 variations of the reject message. Before the message is sent, you will have the chance to edit the message. These settings control what is automatically filled in the send form.

Example email composed from a preset approve message.

Default video & clip settings

Set the default start time and default clip length and this will be used to pre-fill the encoder job when you launch the Youtube Upload form and the Soundcloud Upload form or the Transcoder form. These settings are also used anytime you upload a new track.

You also have the ability to set your clips to be full length (just leave the clip length field blank).
