January 2026
Asset Platform:
MASTERS:
New Fields for Mix Type and Mix Variation
We have added new fields for Mix Type and Mix Variation. These allow you to clearly capture durations and mix variations for track versions rather than combining them within title or version fields. You can find this new feature within the Masters (within Catalog) section of your Core Platform.
These fields are also available on reports and ingestions and as part of metadata deliveries for customers with our Delivery Module.
MASTERS:
New Field for Era
We have added a new field for Era (replacing the previous Decade field).
If you need to tag a recording based on a particular sound or feel rather than the date of recording or release, you can use the Era field. So for all those new recordings with a 60s sound, use the Era field! You can find this new feature within the Masters (within Catalog) section of your Core Platform.
It’s also available on reports, ingests and in our Delivery Module.
DELIVERY MODULE:
Increased Flexibility of Delivery Contents
For customers with access to our Delivery Module, if you’d like more information please reach out to your Account Manager.
When delivering audio and metadata files out of your system using the Delivery Module, you now have increased flexibility and control over what is included in the delivery.
Select to include or exclude metadata, audio (in one or more formats), peak files/waveforms, artwork (in one or more formats), child versions and stems.
DELIVERY MODULE:
Mandatory Field Definition
To ensure metadata correctness and completeness when delivering to external partners, you can now define which fields within the delivery are mandatory. This will form the basis of future work on metadata validations.
DELIVERY MODULE:
Text ‘Find and Replace’ function added
When delivering metadata from the Delivery Module, you can now add a transformation that will replace single characters or text strings with other text or strings.
For example, if your delivery endpoint requires titles with underscores rather than spaces, you can replace all spaces within the text field.
FRONT-END FEATURES:
Production Fields Available
More fields are now visible for your Productions on the front end, giving users more information when viewing Productions, such as; Production Version, Stage, Release Date, Episode Number and Budget
