Get going

Getting started.

How a producer or label A&R typically goes from sign-up to a real round in about five minutes.

Sign up + create a workspace

Hit Start your 7-day trial on the home page or head to /signup. There's no password to invent — continue with Google, or ask for a magic link and click it from your inbox. A short walkthrough asks who the work is for and what you want to do first; your answers name the workspace, set its mode (artist or label), and switch on sensible defaults. Then you pick a plan and the 7-day trial starts — card up front, no charge today, and a reminder email with one-click cancel lands before it converts.

The workspace is your private container — your tracks, collections, rounds, contacts, pitches all live inside it.

Drop your first track

Open /work (the Work nav link) and hit + Add music, or drop audio files straight onto the page. We accept WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, M4A — up to 500 MB. Cue stores the original and transcodes a 320 kbps proxy for streaming + scrubbing.

Pro Catalog metadata (album, year, genre, BPM, ISRC, lyrics, writers) is read from ID3 tags on upload — you don't have to re-type any of it.

Group it into a collection

Visit /collections, name a new one ("Spring '26 sync reel"), then click the title to open the editor. Hit + Add tracks and pick from your library. Drag to reorder. The collection is just a wrapper — tracks can live in many at once.

Tracks are the source of truth; collections are just curated views of them. Editing a track's title updates everywhere it appears.

Open a round

Round = feedback session. Open /rounds and either start a workspace-wide round (any tracks from the library) or arrive via a collection's "Rounds" link to pre-scope it.

Once you're inside a round, hit Share and copy the Collab link. Send it to your client. They can drop notes without an account; you'll see each note land in real time at its exact timestamp.
