Lyrics Formatting Assistant in the Release Builder

Add lyrics to a track and ToneGrid now suggests a clean, platform-ready structure in one click — and your words stay exactly as you wrote them.

auto_awesome What's New

  • One-click formatting — When you add lyrics to a track, a Suggestion button appears and reformats them into a clean, standard structure.
  • Your words, untouched — The assistant only fixes structure and spacing. It never changes, adds, removes, or rewrites a single word.
  • Section labels removed — Lines like “Verse 1”, “Chorus”, or “Bridge” are stripped automatically so your lyrics meet DSP metadata specs.
  • Preview before applying — See the suggested formatting first, then Apply or Dismiss. Nothing changes until you decide.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • check_circle Cleaner deliveries — Properly structured lyrics match platform specifications and help reduce metadata rejections.
  • trending_up Faster releases — No more manual reformatting, so your team can prepare and ship tracks quicker.
  • shield Full creative control — Because wording is never altered, the artist stays fully in control of the lyrics.
  • devices Built for every screen — A responsive design with an info tip on hover or tap means it works smoothly on desktop and mobile.

Inspection: Enhanced Quality Control for ToneGrid Deals

We've introduced a new Inspection layer that strengthens quality control and compliance for releases shipped through ToneGrid Deals. When the QC Team flags a ToneGrid Deal release — say, from a deny-list hit or an ACRCloud match — it now goes through a second-pass review by the ToneGrid team before it leaves the platform. If the review surfaces problems, the release lands back in your Inspector queue with detailed notes so your team knows exactly what to fix. This extra review only applies to ToneGrid Deals. Direct Deals continue to follow the standard single-inspection flow with no change to your existing workflow.

auto_awesome What's New

  • Second-Pass Review on Flagged Releases — When QC Team flags a ToneGrid Deal release, the ToneGrid team runs an internal quality check before it ships.
  • Detailed Feedback on Returns — If something needs fixing, the release goes back to the Inspector with clear, specific guidance from the ToneGrid team.
  • Built Into Your Existing Workflow — The new step slots cleanly into your current approval process — no extra clicks, no new dashboards.
  • Scoped to ToneGrid Deals Only — The new layer applies only to ToneGrid Deals. Direct Deals continue exactly as before.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • shield Higher Quality Releases — Every flagged release gets an expert pass to confirm metadata, rights, and assets meet DSP standards.
  • lightbulb Clearer Resubmissions — Specific feedback lets your team fix and resubmit faster, without guesswork.
  • trending_up Fewer DSP Rejections — Catching issues upstream prevents downstream rejections and keeps release schedules on track.
  • check_circle Compliance That Runs Itself — The whole flow happens in the background, inside the tools your team already use.

ToneGrid Platform Update — June 2026

New features, improvements, and fixes shipped in June 2026.

auto_awesome What's New

  • Product News system: Tenant admins now see platform updates directly in-app on a dedicated "What's New?" page. No more external blog — updates land where your team already works.
  • Passkey login for super-admins: WebAuthn passkey sign-in is now available alongside the existing email-OTP flow. Faster access, no passwords to rotate.
  • Tenant integrations connectors: four new third-party connectors are now available — Mailchimp, Slack, Telegram, and Discord. Credentials are stored securely per tenant.
  • Rights intelligence capture: Release submission now requires a complete rights envelope — primary rights holder, copyright year, sample clearance status, and composer/publisher details per track. Submissions are blocked until rights data is complete, protecting your catalogue and DSP relationships.
  • Client termination (soft-lock): Permanently lock a client account without deleting their release history or royalty records. Locked clients cannot log in; all data remains intact and queryable.
  • Trust scoring: Assign a trust level (low / medium / high) to any user. Tenant admins see this as a read-only indicator on the users list — useful for ops and flagging accounts that need review.
  • Audio submit gate: Release submissions are now blocked if any track is missing its audio file — preventing incomplete releases from reaching DSPs.
  • Email de-branding: All tenant-facing emails (welcome, OTP, 2FA, password reset, release notifications) now carry only the tenant's brand. No ToneGrid or InterSpace references appear on any plan tier.
  • Admin form styling: Fixed a styling conflict where platform-wide rules were overriding custom admin form styles. All admin pages now render consistently.
  • lock MFA for sensitive actions: Password changes and every admin sign-in now require MFA verification — authenticator app (TOTP), email OTP, or a single-use recovery code from your saved set of ten.
  • admin_panel_settings Centralised MFA control: Workspace owners manage MFA across their own team — view who is enrolled, reset a lost-device user, and set policy from one panel. White-label resellers also see a Client workspaces table to set a baseline enforcement level for every sub-tenant.
  • tune Flexible enforcement: Workspace MFA can be set to Disabled, Enabled (users opt-in individually), or Required (every user is forced into setup at next sign-in until enrolled).
  • verified_user MFA at sign-in: A user with MFA enrolled is now prompted for a second factor right after their password — TOTP code, email OTP, or recovery code. Email codes are dispatched automatically before the prompt appears.
  • qr_code Self-hosted authenticator setup: The QR code for authenticator-app enrolment now renders in the browser. No third-party QR service touches your secrets.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • shield Stronger account security: A leaked password can no longer sign in or change another password on its own, even if a session cookie is stolen.
  • workspaces Control without complexity: Apply a consistent security baseline across your workspace without managing users one by one.
  • rocket_launch Future-ready protection: Authenticator-app support, recovery codes, and centralised policy establish the foundation as more critical actions get gated by MFA.
Latest

Workspace Controls & Admin Overhaul

Client management tools, a full admin UI refresh, tenant email branding, and platform security hardening.

auto_awesome What's New

  • Workspace onboarding tour. New tenant owners see an interactive spotlight walkthrough of all workspace settings tabs. Replay at any time from workspace settings.
  • Contract editor. Customize the Music Distribution Agreement with your legal name, country, address, and commercial terms. Your contract language applies sitewide to every client signup.
  • Client termination controls. Lock individual clients permanently from user-details. Locked accounts display a clear status banner and are preserved correctly in data exports.
  • Asset export. Download DDEX-compatible ZIP bundles — cover art, audio files, and metadata XLSX — directly from any release detail page. Export a single release or pull the full catalog.
  • Catalog card grid. Admin Catalog page now offers a Spotify-style card grid alongside the sortable list table. Search and filters are fully responsive on mobile.
  • Clients page rebuild. New CRM-style table with trust score, lock status badge, member count, sortable columns, and paginated search. Replaces the previous basic list.
  • Full admin light/dark mode. All admin pages now have complete light and dark overrides — no more invisible text, broken contrast, or hardcoded dark surfaces in light mode.
  • ACR match detail panel. Every track on a release now shows a green/yellow/red confidence pill for ACR Cloud match status, with DSP-level match breakdowns on the release detail page.
  • Tenant email branding. All platform emails — welcome, OTP, 2FA, password reset, release status, royalty splits, team invites — now inherit your tenant brand and display name on Pro, Scale, and Enterprise plans.
  • Cover art auto-save. Uploading cover art now persists the draft immediately without requiring a full release record to be created first. Upload failures surface as a visible warning rather than being swallowed.
  • Impersonation safety controls. Admin impersonation sessions now time out automatically after 30 minutes. A persistent red banner is shown throughout the session as a clear indicator.
  • Security hardening. Multiple improvements across admin and API surfaces including request validation, access controls, and XML processing protections.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • Launch tenants faster. The onboarding tour, contract editor, and cover art auto-save reduce the time between account creation and first distribution submission.
  • Fully white-label every client touchpoint. Custom contract language and full email branding inheritance mean your clients see only your brand — from signup through every notification.
  • Manage your client roster with clarity. The rebuilt Clients page and lock controls give you CRM-level visibility into your roster as it scales.
  • Keep your catalog and client data private. Security hardening across API and admin surfaces protects release metadata and user records from unauthorized access.

v1.0.5 -- API & Integration Ready

Building a music distribution platform means you need reliable, documented APIs and test environments. v1.0.5 brings a complete API overhaul with 125+ new endpoints covering webhooks, supply-chain configuration, multi-channel ingestion, and financial reporting—plus dedicated sandbox environments for your development teams. This release is built for partners who want to integrate directly with ToneGrid.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • Build integrations with confidence. Comprehensive webhooks and idempotent APIs mean you can sync ToneGrid data into your own systems reliably, without fear of duplicates or missed events.

  • Manage your catalog programmatically. Adjust DSP strategy, pricing, and territory rules on the fly via APIs, without logging into ToneGrid.
  • Understand your financials in real time. Pull earnings and split data whenever you need it—integrate directly into your accounting or business intelligence systems.

v1.0.4 — Enhanced ACRCloud Inspection

As DSP and UGC requirements evolve, having clear visibility into your catalog is essential. Enhanced ACRCloud detection, now with AI detection and improved result grouping, helps you review tracks more efficiently and make confident decisions before distribution.

auto_awesome What's New

  • smart_toy AI detection in Inspection. Flag tracks that may be AI-generated, with confidence scoring and source attribution (e.g. Suno) surfaced directly in the review view — before distribution.
  • bar_chart Smarter detection grouping. Remix and Sample results split into Needs Attention and Other Detections using an 80% confidence threshold. High-risk matches stand out immediately.
  • folder_open Redesigned detection tabs. Tabs only appear when relevant, with key information surfaced upfront. The Inspection view stays clean and focused.
  • check_circle Richer pre-distribution context. Clearer visibility into catalog risks — including AI-generated content — before releases go live on DSPs.

workspace_premium How It Benefits You

  • track_changes Focus on what matters: prioritize high-confidence detections that may require action.
  • check_circle Make informed decisions using structured insights to support your internal inspection workflow before going live.

v1.0.3 — Video Distribution & Partner Sandbox

Music videos are now a first-class part of your catalog. With video distribution to seven new DSPs, plus a hard-blocked sandbox environment for safe integration testing, you can extend your offering and de-risk your white-label setup in one release.

auto_awesome What's New

  • movie Music video distribution. Deliver to YouTube, Vevo, TikTok, Apple Music Video, TIDAL Video, Audiomack Video, and Boomplay Video. Full DDEX MEAD metadata, sync clearances, content ratings, and per-DSP territory controls in a six-step submission flow.
