Setting up your TrackStage Folder

TrackSync works by connecting to your completed audio files on your hard drive. Creating a folder to house those files is the first step in getting up and running.

Step One: Create your TrackStage Folder

• on your root drive (i.e. Macintosh HD > Users > username)
• in DropBox (provided the DropBox folder and contents are on your hard drive)
• on an external hard drive CONNECTED to your computer
• on a networked computer with an ACTIVE connection
  If your connection is not active or the computer housing your tracks is offline, you will still be able to view and edit the most recent synced version of your catalog, but you will be unable to add or tag your tracks with metadata until your computer and TrackSync are back online.

Step Two: Add your Tracks

• your completed, fully mixed and mastered FINAL tracks
• AIFs, MP3s, and WAV file types
• audio files that contain any metadata you want brought into TrackStage
  If your connection is not active or the computer housing your tracks is offline, you will still be able to view and edit the most recent synced version of your catalog, but you will be unable to add or tag your tracks with metadata until your computer and TrackSync are back online.

• any file types other than AIFs, MP3s, or WAVs
  TrackStage will only display AIFs, MP3s, and WAVs in your catalog. Having additional file types in the TrackStage folder will slow down your system while TrackStage sorts through which files it can and cannot display.
• DAW work files
• Tracks in progress
  If you choose to have works in progress in your Catalog, that's up to you. However it's a recipe for confusion when you try to determine which are ready to pitch and which aren't. The TrackStage Catalog is designed to help you manage your completed tracks to reduce confusion and frustration.
