Your spreadsheet is a liability.
Import your CSV on day one. Map columns to structured fields. Lock splits as signed PDFs attached to the project. Move your roster off Sheets, Excel, Notion, or Airtable in an afternoon.
CSV import on day one
Bring your existing catalog as a CSV. Map columns to Vandall fields, hit import, and every release becomes a project with audio, metadata, and rights in one place.
Structured fields, not freeform
ISRC, IPI, splits, dates. Validated on entry, searchable across the catalog. No more typo-ridden columns or "is that a 0 or an O" tickets.
Splits that survive
Sheets get edited. Vandall splits sign as PDFs, lock to the project, and stay immutable. The agreement tab is the agreement, not a row someone might change next quarter.
Per-project access
Drop the "do not edit this tab" notes. A&R sees A&R. Artists see their own projects. The label sees everything. Roles replace tab-level guardrails.
Audit trail by default
See who changed what, when, and from where. Sheet edits go anonymous after the fact. Every Vandall change is logged on the project activity feed.
A label in an afternoon
Vallila Music House moved 21 albums in one sitting. Onboarding maps your existing schema to ours, runs a dry import, and you sign off before anything goes live.
Tab 7 of the master spreadsheet becomes the projects list.
Drop your CSV. Map "Track Title" to title, "ISRC" to ISRC, "Artist" to artist. Onboarding handles the column mapping if your schema is non-standard. Every row becomes a project with its own workspace — audio, metadata, splits, agreements, and comments lined up where they belong.
- Map columns once, run a dry import, sign off, then go live.
- CSV catalog import is a Business-plan capability, set up with onboarding.
- ISRC and IPI fields enrich automatically where they can.
Stop the drift between A&R, marketing, and ops.
The metadata tab on each project replaces the freeform columns nobody agrees on. ISRC, UPC, release date, language, primary artist, contributors. Validated on entry, searchable across the catalog, and the same source of truth for everyone — no more "which sheet is the real one?".
- Structured fields with validation — typos and bad ISRCs caught before release.
- Search the catalog by ISRC, contributor, or release window in one click.
- Custom metadata on the roadmap for label-specific fields.
The "rights" column was a link to a PDF in someone's Drive.
Move splits and agreements to the project itself. Send each contributor a confirmation link. Once they sign, the split sheet locks as an immutable PDF attached to the release. Link rot stops being a rights problem.
- Initial splits import from your CSV as draft values.
- E-sign turns each row into a signed, locked PDF on the project.
- Old "rights" links and Drive folders are decommissioned, not duplicated.
The project owns the audio. Not a Drive folder, not a Dropbox link.
Upload masters, instrumentals, and stems to the same project that holds the metadata and the splits. Version history keeps every revision. No silent deletions, no "the master link broke when Tom left". Mobile create-project means a new release exists before the artist has left the studio.
- Audio, metadata, splits, agreements, and comments all on one project.
- Version history preserved — replacing a master never erases the old one.
- Create projects from your phone the moment a track exists.
Release readiness replaces the colour-coded status column.
Every project gets a readiness score — masters in, splits signed, metadata complete, agreements attached. The roster view shows what is on track and what is not, without anyone keeping a separate sheet to track the sheet. Activity feed records every change, so the audit trail is real instead of remembered.
- Readiness score per release — see at a glance what is missing.
- Activity feed and audit trail capture every change with name and timestamp.
- No more "who set this row to green?" debates at the release meeting.

Frequently asked questions
Any UTF-8 CSV with a header row. Onboarding maps your columns to Vandall fields — track title, ISRC, UPC, release date, primary artist, contributors, and split percentages are the common ones. If your schema is non-standard, we map it once and re-run.
