What is Aden for?
One workspace the whole music industry works in.
The artist owns the workspace. Everyone they work with joins as an organisation and gets the part their job needs, for as long as the deal runs.
What is Aden for, if you are a record label?
A label uses Aden as its A&R and release desk. You open a public demo portal to receive submissions, sign artists to the label with a contract that runs for a fixed term, and then work inside each signed artist's own workspace, their tracks, versions, release plans, artwork and campaign calendar, without asking them to export anything or hand over a login.
Receive demo submissions
A public submission portal on your label page collects demos from artists on and off Aden. Choose the quick form or the full track-details form, then triage everything in one pipeline with accept, consider and reject states.
Sign artists for a term
Send a label agreement from a reusable template, collect a legally-binding e-signature, and the artist team is linked to your organisation for the contract period, with the link expiring when the term ends.
See the whole release, not a summary
A label grant opens metadata, versions, release status, release plans, artwork and documents on every signed artist. The real records the artist is working in, updated as they work.
Plan and run the campaign
Build the release plan, schedule announcement and pre-save moments on the shared calendar, and send email, SMS and listen-and-rate promo campaigns to your contact lists.
Track the catalogue commercially
Streaming, radio airplay and social growth analytics per track and per artist, alongside the deals, splits and territory carve-outs recorded against each release.
Pitch to playlists and press
Submit tracks at specific curated playlists, keep the press kit and assets in one place, and hand distributors a release that already has its metadata and artwork attached.

Aden for labels in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a music publisher?
A publisher uses Aden to sign writers for a term, run the sessions where the songs get written, and hold the paperwork that follows. You get a signed publishing agreement between the writer and your organisation, writers camps with signup forms and session lineups, and the splits, territory-scoped deals and registration data for every song your writers touch.
Sign writers for a term
Publishing agreements go out from a reusable template with merge fields, come back e-signed, and link the writer's team to your organisation for the exact period the deal covers.
Run writers camps
Organise a camp end to end. A people pool, a session lineup across rooms and days, public signup forms with your own questions, and the end-of-camp decision on every track that came out of it.
Hold the splits
Writer and publisher splits sit on the track itself with IPI numbers, societies and publisher entities, so the split sheet is the record, not a PDF someone emailed after the session.
Record rights and deals by territory
Multiple simultaneous publishing, master, licensing and sync deals per track or per album, each scoped to the regions it was signed for, with conflicts flagged across both levels.
Pitch the catalogue for sync
Move opportunities through a sync pipeline from lead to placement, pitch specific tracks against each brief, and keep issued licences, licensee, type, territories, term, fee, in the licence CRM.
Follow the money
Financials on each signed writer's catalogue, plus royalty integrations, so income and expenses per song are visible without a quarterly export.

Aden for publishers in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are an artist manager?
Management is the one role that needs all of it. A management company runs its whole roster from a single organisation, every artist's tracks, releases, calendar, tour, finances, contacts and paperwork, switching between artists without switching tools, and delegating each member of the management team to the artists and areas they actually work on.
The whole roster in one sidebar
Every managed artist is a team under your organisation. Move between artists the way you move between projects, with each artist keeping their own workspace, catalogue and members.
Full access, or exactly what you agreed
An artist-agency grant opens every area by default, but each artist relationship can be narrowed. Some managers hold everything, some hold everything except financials.
One calendar across the roster
Releases, studio sessions, shows, tour dates and deadlines from every artist on one calendar, so the clash is visible before it is booked.
Deals, invoices and money
Contracts and e-signatures, per-artist financials, invoices and expenses, and the deals recorded against each track and album.
Delegate inside the management team
Member groups and roles decide which of your staff sees which artist and which area. A day-to-day manager, a tour manager and a bookkeeper do not need the same view.
Goals and progress per artist
Milestones, goals and release plans per artist, plus streaming, radio and social analytics, so a roster review is a page rather than a week of asking.

Aden for management in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a booking or touring agency?
A booking agency uses Aden as the pipeline between "there might be a show" and "the contract is signed". You scout and pitch dates privately, place ranked holds on them, route confirmed shows into tours with day sheets and crew, and send the booking contract for signature. All against the artist's real calendar rather than a parallel one.
Prospect shows before the artist sees them
Scout dates in an org-private pipeline that stays hidden from the artist team until you share it, with AI-drafted outreach to the promoter or venue contact.
Hold dates in rank order
Place first, second and third holds on a venue and room so competing offers on the same night are visible instead of discovered by phone.
Route the tour
Group confirmed shows into a tour with routing, dates, travel and crew, and see the whole run against everything else the artist has booked.
Day sheets and setlists
Every show carries its day sheet, setlist, crew and documents, so advance information lives on the date rather than in a thread.
Contract and invoice the booking
Send the booking agreement for e-signature from a template, then raise the invoice and track the fee. The financials scope is part of the booking-agency grant.
Declare the performance
Link a mix as the show's setlist and generate a performance-rights declaration from the writers behind those tracks.

Aden for booking agencies in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a festival or a promoter?
A festival or promoter uses Aden to assemble a lineup and keep every act's paperwork and advance in one place. You hold and confirm dates per stage, contract each act with an e-signed booking agreement, collect riders, tech specs and press assets against the act rather than in a mailbox, and publish the confirmed lineup on a public agenda.
Stages, rooms and ranked holds
Model the site as rooms or stages, place ranked holds per slot, and confirm the ones that stick, so a stage clash is visible while it is still a hold.
Contract every act
Booking agreements from a reusable template, sent and e-signed per act, with the signed copy attached to the show date it belongs to.
Advance in one place
Riders, tech specs, day sheets, crew, travel and documents live on the show, and the acts and their agents can see the same record you do.
Press kit and assets per act
Pull each confirmed act's artwork, photos and press material from their own profile instead of chasing a WeTransfer link.
Publish the lineup
A public organisation page with your agenda, so the confirmed lineup is a page you keep updated rather than a poster you re-export.
Take incoming pitches
A public "play here" request form collects artists and agents asking for a slot, into a pipeline instead of an inbox.

Aden for festivals & promoters in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a venue?
A venue uses Aden as its booking calendar and its public front door at the same time. You describe the building and its rooms with capacities, take ranked holds and confirmed shows per room, run residencies your organisation owns, and let artists request a date through a public "play here" form that feeds the same calendar.
Rooms with real capacities
A venue holds multiple rooms, each with its own capacity and agenda, so a show is booked into a room rather than into a building.
Ranked holds
First, second and third holds per room and per night, so competing enquiries on the same date are ordered instead of remembered.
Residencies you own
Recurring nights owned by your organisation, with the artists booked into each edition.
A public "play here" form
Artists and agents request a date from your public page; requests arrive in a pipeline attached to the room and night they asked for.
Advance with the artist
Day sheets, crew, documents and comments on each confirmed show, shared with the artist team you granted access to.
A public agenda
Your confirmed shows render on a public organisation page and on the discovery map, so the agenda is a by-product of booking.

Aden for venues in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a recording studio?
A studio uses Aden to publish its rooms, take bookings, and keep what happened in each session attached to the session. A booking becomes a session with its date, participants, tracks worked on and in-browser recordings, so the studio has a record of the day, and the artist keeps the work in their own catalogue.
List the building and its rooms
Studios are buildings with bookable spaces, each with its own description, gear notes and availability.
Take bookings from a public page
A Cal.com-style public booking page, pick a date, then a slot, turns requests into allocated sessions with a named host.
Sessions with participants and tracks
Each session is a time-boxed event with the people in the room and the tracks being worked on, linked to the bookable space it happened in.
Recordings and notes on the day
In-browser recordings and AI analysis attach to the session, so the reference bounce and the notes stay with the date.
Invoice the room
Contracts, invoices and expenses per booking, so studio time is billed from the same record it was booked in.
Be findable
A public studio profile on the directory and the discovery map, with the rooms and rates you choose to publish.

Aden for studios in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a distributor?
A distributor uses Aden to receive releases that are already complete. You see the metadata, masters, versions, artwork and release date on the artist's own record, moderate what gets submitted for delivery, and stop chasing the one missing ISRC or the artwork that was the wrong size.
Releases arrive complete
Metadata, versions, masters, artwork, release date and release plan on the artist's record. The distributor grant opens exactly that set.
Moderate submissions
Incoming releases land in a pipeline you accept, hold or send back, with the reason attached to the record.
Rights before delivery
Splits, publishers, societies and territory-scoped deals are on the track, so ownership questions are answered before delivery rather than after a claim.
Release plans, not release dates
The full plan, announcement, pre-save, single, album, is visible, so delivery windows line up with the campaign.
Assets in the right shapes
Cover art and promotional assets live on the release, resolved from stored originals rather than re-sent per platform.
Analytics back to the artist
Streaming, radio and social performance surface on the same track record the release came from.

Aden for distributors in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a sync agency?
A sync agency uses Aden to run opportunities from brief to placement. Each film, TV, ad, trailer or game opportunity moves through a kanban pipeline with the tracks you pitched against it and a log of what happened, and the licences you close are recorded with licensee, territories, term and fee.
A pipeline per opportunity
Leads move through stages to placement, with the brief, the counterparty and an activity log on each opportunity.
Pitch specific tracks
Attach the exact tracks and versions pitched against each brief, from across every artist team linked to your organisation.
Works with artists not on Aden yet
Opportunities, artists, tracks and counterparty companies can exist before anyone signs up, so the pipeline is usable from day one.
Clearances that are already answered
Splits, publishers, societies and territory-scoped deals sit on the track, so a clearance check is a lookup.
Record the licence
Licensee, licence type, territories, term, fee and the signed agreement in the licence CRM, with expiry reminders and visibility for the artist team.
Share the shortlist
Send a shortlist as a shareable set of tracks rather than a folder of attachments.

Aden for sync agencies in fullWhat is Aden for, if you make a TV show that performs songs?
A production uses Aden as the music department of a format. A singing show, a series, a film. Every performance is a track linked to the song it covers, carrying the original writers and their splits, the licence that cleared it, the sessions it was arranged and recorded in, the episode it aired in with its cue sheet, and the release that follows the broadcast.
Every performance is a cover of something
Each performance is its own track, linked to the original it covers. When that original is on Aden its team gets an approval request, the link carries the split metadata and the cover agreement, and a "Cover of …" credit stays on the track for good.
Clear the song, keep the licence
The licence behind each cover, licensee, type, territories, term, fee and the signed agreement, sits on the song itself, visible to both sides, with reminders before it expires.
Arrange and record it in rooms you booked
The music block runs as sessions, who was in the room, the tracks worked on, in-browser recordings and notes on the day. A whole season of writing and arranging can run as a camp with a lineup across rooms and days.
Episodes, air dates and the cue sheet
An episode carries its episode number, air date and repeat schedule, and its tracklist exports as a cue sheet .csv. Every piece of music in order with ISRC/ISWC, cue time and the air-date context that SABAM, PRS, ASCAP, BMI and GEMA need to pay the writers.
Keep the singer off the record
A masked format depends on who does not know. Access is granted per organisation, per member and per track, so the arranger, the band and the vocal coach can each work on the song without the contestant's name in their view.
Performer deals and NDAs, signed
Performer agreements, arranger deals and NDAs go out from reusable templates with merge fields, come back e-signed, and are stored on the record they belong to.
Record days and shoot days
Studio days and tape days are events with a day sheet, call times, crew and documents, on the same calendar as the release dates and the broadcast.
Release the covers after air
Each performance already has its metadata, versions, artwork and writers, so the post-air single or the season album is a release plan rather than a rebuild, scheduled against the broadcast date.

Aden for television & film in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a music marketing agency?
A marketing agency uses Aden to work on a release without owning it. You get the artwork and promotional assets, the release plan you are marketing against, the campaign tools to actually send, and the analytics to report. On each client artist, from one organisation.
Assets without a download link
Cover art, banners, video and promotional assets on the release, resolved from stored originals in the sizes you need.
Send the campaign
Email, SMS and listen-and-rate promo campaigns to the client's contact lists, scheduled against the release plan.
Smart links and landing pages
Custom links and artist pages with per-link tracking, so a campaign's destinations are measurable.
Report from the source
Streaming, radio airplay and social growth analytics on the same tracks the campaign ran on.
Plan against the real calendar
The release plan and its announcement, pre-save and drop moments are the ones the artist and label are working to.
Scoped to the work
A marketing-agency grant opens metadata, assets, analytics, downloads, documents and comments. Deliberately not financials or rights.

Aden for marketing agencies in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are an entertainment lawyer?
A lawyer uses Aden to see the paperwork in context. Contracts, splits, territory-scoped deals, licences and financials sit on the track, album or artist they concern, so reviewing a deal does not start with assembling a file, and a signed agreement is stored against the thing it governs.
Contracts with e-signatures
Collaboration, organisation and booking agreements from reusable templates with merge fields, sent, signed and stored in place.
Splits as data
Writer, producer and publisher splits with IPI numbers and societies on the track, rather than in a PDF.
Deals scoped by territory
Publishing, master, distribution, licensing and sync deals per track or album, each scoped to its regions, with conflicts flagged.
Licences and their expiries
Issued licences with licensee, type, territories, term and fee, plus automatic expiry reminders.
Financial context
Income, expenses and invoices on the catalogue you are advising on, included in the lawyer grant.
A documented history
Documents and comments on each record, so the reason a clause exists is next to the clause.

Aden for music lawyers in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a radio station?
A radio station uses Aden to receive music for airplay and to close the loop on it. Promos arrive through a submission portal with the release details and assets attached, and the airplay that follows shows up as data on the same track the artist and label are watching.
A promo inbox that is a pipeline
Tracks submitted for airplay arrive with metadata, artwork and release date, in a list you triage rather than an inbox you archive.
Listen and rate
Listen-and-rate promo campaigns give programmers a way to respond that the sender can actually count.
Release details, not a filename
A radio-station grant opens metadata, release and assets, so the artist name, release date and artwork are on the record.
Airplay analytics
Plays and station data feed back into the artist's analytics alongside streaming and social numbers.
Programme against the schedule
Playlist scheduling for what goes out when, rather than a spreadsheet per week.
A public profile
Your station has a public organisation page artists and labels can find and submit to.

Aden for radio stations in fullWhat is Aden for, if you organise writers camps?
A camp organiser uses Aden to run the camp and to keep what it produced. You publish a signup form with your own questions, build the session lineup across rooms and days, and end the camp with a decision on every track written, with the splits already recorded on each song.
Public signup with your questions
A signup form with custom questions collects writers, producers and artists into a people pool for the camp.
Build the lineup
Assign the pool into sessions across rooms and days, so everyone knows which room and which co-writers.
Sessions that record themselves
Each session carries its participants, the tracks worked on and in-browser recordings.
Splits on the day
Writer splits go on the track while everyone is still in the room, with IPI numbers and societies.
Decide at the end
An end-of-camp decision step on every track that came out of it, keep, pitch, shelve, recorded against the song.
Brand-backed programs
The same machinery runs branded artist-development programs and academies, with a sponsoring brand fronting the camp.

Aden for camp organisers in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a vocal coach or any other artist coach?
Any coach who works with artists, vocal, performance, songwriting, production, mixing, instrument, dance, mindset, career or content, joins Aden as an organisation and runs their practice from it. You say what you coach, take bookings from a public page, and follow each client between sessions instead of only during them: goals and milestones they work against, and releases, plans and analytics as they move, with financials, rights and collaborators deliberately left out.
Say what you coach
Pick your disciplines, vocal, performance, songwriting, production, mindset, career, for the practice and per coach. Clients filter the booking page by them and each session is labelled with one.
A public booking page
Clients pick the discipline, then a coach who teaches it, then a date and a slot; requests are allocated to whichever member of your organisation is coaching.
Goals and milestones
Set targets with the artist and watch them move, rather than reconstructing progress at the next session.
See the work between sessions
Metadata, versions, release status, release plans, milestones and events on the artist you coach.
Feedback in context
Comments on the track, the version and the plan, so notes are attached to what they are about.
Share the playbook
Skills and structured material you can hand to every artist you work with.
Deliberately limited
An artist-coach grant excludes financials, collaborators and legal access. Coaching does not need them.

Aden for coaches & academies in fullWhat is Aden for, if you are a brand working with artists?
A brand uses Aden to run an artist program properly. You front featured ambassador artists on a public brand page, run branded academies and development programs on the same machinery as writers camps, and follow the releases and campaigns your sponsorship is attached to, without touching the artist's money or rights.
Run an academy
Branded artist-development programs with signups, sessions and a lineup, fronted by the artists you work with.
Feature your ambassadors
A public brand page with the artists in your program, their releases and the program itself.
Co-market the release
Assets, release milestones and events on the artists you sponsor, so campaign moments line up with real dates.
See the impact
Streaming, radio and social analytics on the releases your program is attached to.
Partnerships pipeline
Track partner companies, their contacts and the deals between you, with lifecycle status and tier.
Deliberately limited
A brand grant excludes financials, collaborators and legal access. Sponsorship does not need them.

Aden for brands in fullWhat is Aden for, if you design artwork for artists?
A design studio uses Aden as the hand-off surface between brief and delivered artwork. You see the release the cover is for and the show the announcement is for, upload the finished assets straight onto the record, and get feedback as comments on the asset instead of screenshots in a chat.
The brief is the record
The release, its metadata and its dates are visible, so a cover is designed against the actual release rather than a forwarded description.
Deliver onto the release
Upload cover art, banners and promotional assets directly to the track, album or event they belong to.
Gig announcements against real dates
Events and tours are in scope, so announcement artwork uses the confirmed date, venue and time.
Feedback on the asset
Comments and to-dos attached to the artwork itself, with versions kept as they change.
Scoped to the work
A design-studio grant covers metadata, assets, files, comments, to-dos, events and tours, no financials, analytics, collaborators or legal access.
Brand consistency
The artist's brand kit and press assets are in the same place as the work, so a new cover matches the last one.
