The release editor at Dashboard → Releases & Pre-Saves carries every credit on a release, from the featured artists to the engineer who tracked the room mic.
Two credit sections
- Credits are the artists featured on the release. They show as a Feat. row of photos on the release card, in the Featuring list inside the release, and under the title of each track they're on.
- Additional credits are everyone else, like writers, producers and engineers. They show by name under the track you credit them on. Pick a track for each one, or they won't show on your page.
You get the Additional credits tab on EPs, albums and mixtapes. On a single, the Credits tab holds every role.
Each credit is a Name + Role + Track row in the editor. Pick the role from the list, from Producer and Writer to Mixing, Mastering and Engineer.
Per-track credits (liner notes)
You can attach credits to specific tracks instead of the whole release. A guitarist who played on track 3 only shows up under track 3 in the fan-side liner notes. This is the same experience you get on the back of a vinyl sleeve.
To do it: add the person in Credits or Additional credits, pick their role, then pick their track in the Track menu on their row.
Avatars and mini-profiles
Featured artists show with a photo on your page. It's the photo you add or the one from their Spotify link, and their initials when there's neither. Everyone else shows by name. Tap a photo or a name to open a mini-profile with their name, role, streaming and social links, and a button to their BCKSTG page if you've linked them.
A featured artist on several tracks shows once in the Feat. row. The Featuring list shows which tracks they're on.
Linking a collaborator who's on BCKSTG
Open the credit and type their @handle in Handle. When we find their page, the credit shows Linked and their mini-profile gets a button to their BCKSTG page.
Inviting a collaborator who is not on BCKSTG yet
To invite someone who isn't on BCKSTG yet, open their credit, add their email and save. They get an email with a link to claim their profile. On a saved credit you can also tap Send invite to email it or copy the link.
When they claim:
- Their new profile is auto-linked to this credit
- They get a 7-day Pro trial when you're on Pro or Lifetime, the release is out on streaming with its UPC and track ISRCs, and their name came in with the credits BCKSTG pulled from the streaming services. If any of that's missing, the invite still goes out without the trial.
Each account gets one trial, and invites expire.
What fans see
On the public release popup, fans see:
- The tracklist with BPM, Key, and Lyrics per track (when filled)
- A Feat. row with a photo for each featured artist, and a Featuring list inside the release
- Writers, producers and other credits by name under the track they worked on
- Tap any photo or name to open the mini-profile
This is the credit experience your release deserves. Use it.
