Product updates, release notes, and changelog from the Trackstack team.
We've fixed an issue where studio owners were being redirected to a login page instead of the payment setup page when trying to enable payments. Now, when you click 'Enable Payments' from anywhere in your studio, you'll be taken directly to the payment setup page with the correct context, so you can start accepting subscriptions without any extra steps.
Impact: Seamless access to payment setup without unexpected login redirects
We've fixed an issue where the convert channel type dialog would lose your access rules, plan, cohort, or member selections when you reopened it. Now when you open the conversion dialog, your previously selected settings are properly preserved and won't be dropped from your conversion request.
Impact: Your access rule selections are no longer lost when reopening the conversion dialog
We've fixed an issue where adding reactions to posts wasn't being properly recorded in our analytics system. This fix ensures that your engagement with posts is accurately tracked, helping us better understand how you interact with content.
Impact: More accurate analytics data about user engagement
We've fixed an issue where Google Analytics Measurement IDs weren't being properly saved in the Studio admin integrations settings. This fix ensures that your Google Analytics configuration is now correctly persisted and retrieved when you update your integration settings.
Impact: Google Analytics Measurement ID now saves correctly in admin settings
We fixed an issue where established studios with a history of cancelled memberships could be incorrectly locked out of accepting new members. Now only current active members count toward your studio's member limit, allowing new signups to proceed as expected based on your actual current membership.
Impact: New members can now join your studio without being blocked by historical cancelled subscriptions
We've fixed an issue where the last track in your Spotlight Discovery list was being hidden behind the dock at the bottom of the screen. Now you'll be able to see and interact with all tracks without any obstruction.
Impact: Last track in the list is now fully visible and accessible
Your Orbit page bio now has a 240 visible-character limit to keep your page looking great. A live character counter appears as you approach the limit, and typing stops automatically when you reach it. If you have an existing bio longer than 240 characters, a red counter will prompt you to shorten it before saving.
Impact: Typing stops cleanly at the limit — no text appears and then disappears, and your cursor won't jump
We've redesigned how you submit demos to inboxes on artist pages. Instead of an embedded form, you now see a clean, native card that matches the page's theme. Tap the card or drag and drop a track directly onto it to open a sleek bottom sheet where you can complete your submission—your dropped files are already loaded, so nothing is wasted.
Impact: Drag-and-drop files directly onto the card—dropped tracks automatically appear in the submission form
Events in your studio's home feed are now displayed in the order they're scheduled to happen, rather than when they were created. Each event now displays a label showing whether it's upcoming, currently live, or has already happened, along with an 'Event' type indicator to match how posts are labeled.
Impact: Find upcoming events more easily by seeing them in chronological order
We've fixed an issue where the 'Hide genres from public profile' setting wasn't being fully respected when viewing public inbox profiles. Now when you enable this setting in your Genre Filtering preferences, your genres will be completely hidden from your public profile page, including in the shared profile data and submission form.
Impact: Your genre privacy preference is now consistently applied across all public profile views
We've fixed an issue where newly signed-up users would briefly see the inbox page before being redirected to complete their onboarding. Now the app waits until your account is fully set up before showing any workspace pages, providing a seamless onboarding experience without any visual jumping or flashing.
Impact: Eliminates the brief flash of the inbox page during sign-up
We've completely redesigned your link-in-bio page with a modern visual refresh. Choose between two header styles (classic or full-bleed hero), pick from 10 beautifully curated color themes, and now embed your submission form directly on your page so fans can send demos without leaving.
Impact: Two header layout options (Classic with avatar badge or Hero with full-bleed photo) for a polished, professional look
Studio Live streaming is now available to every studio, provided your plan includes live streaming access. This completes the rollout from our pilot phase, making it easier for all eligible studios to create and broadcast live events without waiting for individual enablement.
Impact: Live streaming is now universally available to all studios with appropriate plan entitlements
We've fixed how list names are validated when you create or edit lists. Previously, if you tried to create a list with a name that was too long, you'd see a confusing technical error message. Now the input field automatically prevents you from typing beyond the allowed character limit, giving you clear feedback as you type.
Impact: Input fields now enforce the 50-character limit for list names in real-time, preventing rejected submissions
When a label requests revised stems on a release, artists will now receive an in-app notification and see the request logged in their deal thread. Previously, stem requests were only sent by email, which could easily be missed, leaving artists unaware of what the label was waiting on.
Impact: Stem requests now appear in your notification bell so you never miss them
Studio Live events now include a live chat panel where viewers can interact in real-time during broadcasts. Studio owners can also opt into low-latency mode when creating events for faster, more interactive streams—though live captions won't be available in this mode.
Impact: Real-time interaction with viewers through live chat during broadcasts
Store owners can now create, edit, and organize product categories directly in the app through a new Storefront settings tab. When creating products, you'll see a category selector that automatically filters options based on product type, and products now display their assigned category throughout the app.
Impact: Full control over your store's product categories without needing technical setup—create categories with custom titles, descriptions, and cover images
When you verify your email on tstack.link and then visit my.trackstack.app, you'll no longer be asked to enter a second verification code. Your identity carries over securely between the two services, so you can access your inbox immediately after verification.
Impact: Faster, smoother login experience without repeated verification steps
Store owners can now organize their storefronts into browsable categories with dedicated landing pages. Customers see category tiles on the home page (when multiple categories exist), can explore each category's full inventory on its own page, and easily navigate back to categories from individual products.
Impact: Better store organization with category-specific pages and dedicated URLs
When you receive an invitation to join a workspace, you'll now be taken directly to your inbox instead of a sign-up landing page. We've also updated the button text from 'Go to Trackstack' to 'Open my inbox' to make it clearer what happens when you click it.
Impact: Go directly to your inbox after accepting a workspace invitation instead of seeing a sign-up page
When downloading a profile without an existing account, you'll now need to verify your email address before the download begins. This ensures we have a valid email on file. The process is streamlined with options to skip email verification if needed, and your download will still complete either way.
Impact: Greater confidence that captured email addresses are real and valid
When someone downloads a file you've shared, the notification now displays the downloader's identity and their inbox, making it easy to see who accessed your shared content. You can click the notification to navigate directly to their inbox profile.
Impact: Instantly identify who downloaded your shared files
When downloading through a shared link, you'll now see an option to create your free Trackstack inbox at the same time. Simply check the box during download, and you'll get a free account set up automatically—no extra steps needed. You can uncheck it if you prefer to download without creating an account.
Impact: Instant account creation when downloading shared tracks—no separate signup process
When you're signed in and viewing a shared track or playlist, you'll now see a small badge in the top-right corner showing your name and workspace. This makes it clear who you're logged in as while browsing shared content, without affecting what you can see or download.
Impact: Know instantly which account and workspace you're viewing shared content with
We've fixed a critical issue causing the desktop app to become extremely slow over time. The offline cache was consuming excessive system resources and slowing down your computer. With this fix, the app will run smoothly even during extended use sessions.
Impact: Desktop app runs significantly faster and more responsively
When you signed in to download a file using a share link, you were asked for your name even though we already had it on file. We've fixed this — after you sign in, you'll go straight to your download without any extra steps.
Impact: One fewer screen to click through when downloading shared files
You can now cut highlight clips directly from your live stream recordings and publish them as draft posts instantly. Simply enter the start and end timestamps, add an optional title, and the clip is ready to publish—the original recording remains unchanged.
Impact: Quickly repurpose live content into standalone highlight videos
Max-tier studios can now simulcast their live broadcasts to YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP-compatible platform directly from the broadcast panel. Set up your simulcast targets before going live, and your broadcast will automatically stream to multiple platforms simultaneously while remaining gated on your home page.
Impact: Reach audiences on multiple platforms (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) without losing your gated broadcast experience
Store owners can now organize their products into custom categories (Services, Products, Music) with custom titles, descriptions, and cover images. Each category gets its own dedicated page on the storefront, and live releases can be automatically included in Music categories. Products are automatically assigned to the appropriate category type.
Impact: Better storefront organization with dedicated category pages for easier customer browsing
Live streams now automatically include English closed captions that viewers can toggle on during broadcasts. These captions are also automatically saved to recordings, so replays are captioned without any extra work. Additionally, we've improved our analytics tracking to give you more accurate viewer metrics.
Impact: Viewers can enable closed captions during live broadcasts for better accessibility
SoundCloud is now available as a live partner perk in your Settings with the exclusive discount code TSSC3 for 2 months free of Artist Pro. We've also improved how we display partner offers—link-only perks now clearly show 'No code needed · applied at checkout' so you know exactly how to redeem each offer.
Impact: Instantly access SoundCloud's Artist Pro discount with the code TSSC3
We've finalized the rollout of our improved Store experience by removing the feature flag that was gradually enabling it for users. All stores now use the same modern, streamlined storefront interface with enhanced browsing, search, and checkout capabilities. This means consistent, improved functionality across all stores.
Impact: Access to the improved Store experience with better product organization and search capabilities
We've fixed an issue where pausing a release would only notify one artist, even when multiple artists were involved in the release. Now, every artist on a release receives a notification when the release is paused or resumed, and each artist sees a notification for each of their tracks in the release.
Impact: All artists on a multi-artist release now receive pause/resume notifications instead of just one
Fixed an issue where the 'Mark release complete' action was missing from the release menu when a deal had progressed to in-progress status (after contract countersigning). Users can now complete releases directly from the release menu at the appropriate time in the workflow.
Impact: Can now mark releases complete from the release menu when the deal is in progress
We've improved how tracks behave when they're attached to a release. You can no longer decline a track that's already on a release directly from the track menu—instead, you'll need to remove it from the release first. This prevents tracks from being left in an inconsistent state (declined but still on a live release). We've also added clearer messaging to explain why certain actions aren't available for tracks on releases.
Impact: Prevents accidentally declining a track while it remains on a live release
We've improved the release confirmation experience with a dedicated dialog that makes it easier to confirm releases and send messages to artists. The dialog now clearly shows what happens when you confirm a release and allows you to add a personalized message that artists will see.
Impact: Clearer understanding of what confirming a release does before taking action
We've improved how contract fields are validated and what error messages you see. Contract field values are now capped at appropriate lengths, and when something goes wrong, you'll see clear, plain-language error messages instead of technical jargon. This makes it easier to understand what needs to be fixed before sending a contract.
Impact: Clear, plain-language error messages when contract submission fails
We've added a safety check to ensure contracts are properly executed before moving deals between release stages. Now you'll need to send and have the contract signed before you can start or complete a release, preventing incomplete deals from progressing.
Impact: Ensures all deals have executed contracts before moving forward
The contract step has been promoted to appear more prominently in the deal header, making it easier to access and manage contract-related actions when working with releases. This improves the visibility and accessibility of contract workflows.
Impact: Faster access to contract management when working with deals
We've made studio layout customization features available to all users. You can now customize how your studio is arranged, including layout options, navigation style, post display, density, home modules, and navigation areas—all from your appearance settings.
Impact: Full control over how your studio is organized and displayed
When you cancel a submission in Sends, the status now updates right away without needing to reload the page. Previously, the row would keep showing the old status until you refreshed. This fix also ensures the Sends list stays up-to-date when you cancel from the submission detail view.
Impact: Immediate visual feedback when cancelling submissions—no page reload needed
We've fixed a critical issue that was preventing some users from accessing their studios after a recent update. This hotfix ensures that all studio types are properly recognized by our system, preventing errors when loading your studio workspace.
Impact: Restored access to studios for users affected by recent changes
Your studio tier now automatically follows your Trackstack plan (Free, Pro, or Max). When downgrading your plan, you'll see exactly how it affects your studios—including member limits, video counts, and available features—before confirming the change. Existing content stays intact; limits only apply to new additions.
Impact: See studio impact before downgrading your plan, with clear visibility into which features and limits change
We've implemented plan-based limits for Studio features to ensure fair usage across Free, Pro, and Max tiers. Depending on your plan, you'll now see limits on the number of videos, team members, resources, and feedback coaches you can add to your studio. Existing content remains accessible even after downgrading.
Impact: Clear visibility into what your plan allows so you know when to upgrade
We've improved how our system detects and reports Prisma database configuration issues. The diagnostic tool now more accurately identifies which Prisma version is installed and whether required database engine files are present, making it easier to diagnose and resolve setup problems.
Impact: More accurate detection of Prisma installation status and version
We've updated the default layout for new studios to use the rail layout, which provides a better organized workspace. Additionally, we've added diagnostic tools to help us identify and resolve any backend connectivity issues more quickly, ensuring better service reliability.
Impact: New studios now open with an optimized rail layout by default
We've fixed a critical issue that was causing Studio Web to experience errors in production. The application was unable to properly load its database query engine, which resulted in failed requests. This fix ensures the database engine is correctly included and accessible when the application runs.
Impact: Eliminates production errors and service interruptions
We've improved the Studio interface with better layout customization options and a more streamlined navigation experience. The reader view now features a consolidated navigation header that intelligently handles overflow, and the customize panel is now more accessible from the arrangement sheet. These changes make it easier to organize your workspace and navigate through your content.
Impact: More flexible layout customization options tailored to your workflow
We've redesigned how the studio layouts work, particularly for the Console view. The header now displays consistently across all layouts with better organization of controls, the feed page has a cleaner title bar with relevant status information, and the console sidebar now has improved organization with customization options in an easier-to-reach location. Search functionality has been made more flexible to work better in different layout contexts.
Impact: Better organized headers that work seamlessly across all four studio layouts
Studio owners can now customize which content blocks appear on their studio's home page and in what order. You can toggle individual modules like the composer, pulse strip, featured content, and posts on or off, and reorder the ones that can move. Additionally, you can now control which navigation areas are visible to your studio members directly from the Appearance settings.
Impact: Full control over home page layout - choose which blocks appear and their order to match your studio's workflow
