Sequencing a release
Where a release begins, and two ways to put it in the order you want it heard. Everything runs on four real sets and one whole crate, and the two views share one order: arrange a release in one and the other opens with it.
The crate, in Mastering mode
The history view as the app has it. Pick tracks with the +, press Add to Release in the Selection Bar, give the release its name, and it opens in the sequencer. A release can grow in later sittings.
The long strip
The set runs left to right as one tape. Sleeves are as wide as their tracks are long, and the lines run beneath them. The best view of the whole arc.
The J-card
The running order is the spine and time runs down the page. The lines sit beside each row, and there is room in the margin to say why a track sits where it does.
- Drag to move a track. On a laptop, the arrows choose and Option with the arrows moves.
- The lines show shape, relative to the set. Hover for the numbers behind them.
- Pick a shape, then drag the dots on its dotted line to bend it into your own. Ideas follow the line you drew.
- Six measures can be drawn as lines, and you choose which one the shape and ideas follow.
- Delete drops the chosen track from the sequence. It can be brought back.
- Keys are off until you switch them on. They mark what sits together and say nothing about the rest.
- A track that is not on streaming holds its place and leaves a gap in the lines.
