New Update [ANS Music’s Backstage]

Posted on Posted in Update

After rolling out our Marketplace in last month’s release, we’re thrilled to introduce two new key integrated features (promotional smart links and digitial mastering) that were frequently requested. We’re also proud to showcase the new track details page, delivering all of the information you’ve been asking for, in a unified and easy to access and understand format.

New Features

  • Promote your music with Smart Links: We’ve integrated Feature.fm directly into ANS Music to help you and your artist market your releases and seamlessly create pre-save links. This integration is available for disable/enable for all of your customers in your Account Settings.

    Using this feature, your users can:
    • Create Smart Links: Generate dynamic Feature.fm smart links with a single click from their release details pages – there is no additional cost for this core functionality!
    • Manage their own Dashboards: Gain full control over their campaigns and analytics with dedicated client-specific Feature.fm dashboards.
    • Unlock Advanced Features: Optionally upgrade their individual Feature.fm plan for even more powerful promotional tools and in-depth insights.
  • Unlock AI Mastering with Masterchannel.ai: We’ve integrated Masterchannel.ai directly into ANS Music to give you an instant audio upgrade! This integration is available in your Account Settings. Downloads are available after a $5 USD payment to Masterchannel. Unlimited mastering and replay are provided free of charge.

    With Masterchannel.ai, users can:
    • Achieve Pro-Level Sound in Seconds: Masterchannel.ai‘s AI technology provides polished, radio-ready mixes.
    • Mastering Made Easy: New Master banners in the track creation flow and a Master button in the audio player offer seamless access to integrated mastering tools in their regular flow of work.
    • Experience the Power of AI Mastering: You can now unleash the potential of professional-grade mastering regardless of their experience level.
