A whole record, held in one place.

The Release Gate overview: a 69-day countdown, a phase bar reading 22% of the whole release, and a ranked list of what to do next.
The record

See every song, and what each one is still missing.

One row per song. Production stage as real colour, the deliverables that have actually landed, the mix version, and whether the splits add up — all readable in a single pass, without opening anything.

  • Paste a tracklist and it parses producers and features out of the lines.
  • Drag a song between stages, or work down the grid.
  • Play any song from the list without leaving the page.
The production grid: twelve songs, each with a coloured stage bar, deliverable dots, a mix version and a splits figure.
Files

Four mixes of one song, never confused again.

Every file sits under the song it belongs to, carrying its slot, its version, its format and its date. A rough mix v2 can never quietly pass for the master.

  • Grouped by song, newest version first, with a player on every row.
  • Filter by song audio, artwork or documents; search across versions.
  • Bulk upload and the files match themselves to songs by filename.
The asset vault: filter pills, and files grouped under each song showing slot, version, format, size and date.
Publishing

Make it total 100.00 before anyone registers anything.

Writer and master splits per song, with PRO, IPI, publisher and admin against each name. The total is checked as you type, because ninety percent is not a rounding error — it is an unpaid writer.

  • Per song or across the release, whichever the deal actually is.
  • Registration stays blocked until the sheet is whole and signed.
The splits screen: writers and producers with PRO, IPI and publisher, and a running total that flags when it is not 100.
The path

Ninety-five things have to be true before a record ships.

Across nine phases, from audio locked to closed out. Each item knows what has to happen before it, so the list always tells you the next thing that actually unblocks work.

  • Ranked, not alphabetical — the top item is the one holding up the most.
  • Owners and due dates, so nothing sits unclaimed.
The release checklist: nine phases of items with owners, due dates and notes.
The running order

Sequence it. Then let the artist re-sequence it.

Order the album, drop vinyl side breaks, and audition the transitions. Then send a private listening link — password protected, with no Big Tune branding on it — and the artist can reorder it from their phone.

  • They drag with a thumb, and swipe a song left to take it off.
  • Their order comes back to you, together with what they would cut.
