After submitting your audio file, metadata, and music credits to your label, you'll be redirected to the History tab, where you can track and review all your project submissions. This comprehensive tracking system provides transparency and accountability throughout your collaboration with the label.
Understanding the submission process
When you submit to your label through MusicTeam, the system automatically packages and delivers:
High-quality audio files in the appropriate format
Complete metadata including recording and work information
Detailed contributor credits with roles and ownership shares
File version history and any related documentation
Your label receives this comprehensive package directly in their Connex account, ensuring professional delivery and proper organization of your project materials. Learn more about the submission process in How to submit to your label
Viewing your submission history
For each recording in the History tab, you'll see detailed information about:
Submitter: Who submitted to the label (useful for collaborative projects)
Submission date: When the submission was sent
File version: Which specific version of the audio file was submitted
Submission status: Whether the submission was successfully delivered
This information helps you maintain a clear record of all communications with your label and ensures accountability throughout the review process.
Understanding the Changelog
When you select a submission, a Changelog appears on the right showing a comprehensive summary of what changed between submissions:
Added items: New metadata, contributors, or file versions
Removed items: Information that was deleted or replaced
Changed items: Modified metadata, updated contributor details, or revised information
This summary only compares your selected submission to the previous one, making it easy to understand exactly what was updated in each submission to your label.
Comparing submissions side-by-side
To perform detailed comparisons and view line-by-line changes:
Go to a Project
Click on the History tab
Select a submission
Click on [Review]
Using the two dropdowns, you can choose which submissions to compare side by side. This feature is particularly valuable when:
Your label requests specific changes and you want to verify what was modified
You need to track the evolution of your project over time
You want to understand the impact of feedback implementation
You're collaborating with multiple team members and need to review changes
Visual comparison system
Items in the side-by-side comparison appear with clear color coding:
Green/teal: New items added (new contributors, additional metadata, etc.)
Yellow: Changed items (updated contributor roles, modified metadata, revised information)
Red: Removed items (deleted contributors, removed metadata, etc.)
This visual system makes it easy to quickly identify changes and understand the evolution of your project throughout the submission process.
Benefits of submission tracking
The submission tracking system provides several key advantages:
Transparency: Complete visibility into what was sent and when
Version control: Clear understanding of which file versions were submitted
Collaboration: Easy tracking of changes when working with multiple contributors
Quality assurance: Ability to verify that all required information was included
Professional communication: Clear record of all interactions with your label
This comprehensive tracking ensures that both you and your label maintain a clear understanding of the project's evolution and submission history.
