The features in detail
Band
Each band member can be made a band admin and then has extended editing rights.
Band information can be stored in the form of private notes and files or even files made public. The latter may be helpful e.g. for the band's press kit, logos or tech rider.
... including phone numbers, addresses, e-mail, WhatsApp phone number, etc
Important files, such as press releases, logos, tech riders, etc., can be stored for each band, with the option to make them publicly available or accessible to the band only.
Band members can easily be invited to BANDZONE via email.
Each band member can be made a financial admin and therefore has extended editing rights for financial data.
For every band member, you can add instruments. These can be used, e.g., to optimize setlists.
The main instrument group (s) can be specified per band member for later display, e.g. in the rehearsal list.
The first phone number of each band member can be set as WhatsApp phone number. When activated, a WhatsApp button appears in the band member overview, which starts WhatsApp directly on click if it is installed on the current device.
Songs & Setlists
This is the place for quick notes for everyone, e.g. during rehearsal or preparation.
Songs can be rated and commented anonymously in 4 levels. This allows you to quickly agree on the hot new song for your band's show or to archive songs that are no longer quite as fresh.
The total playing time of a setlist is calculated automatically based on the stored song durations.
A central location for all lead sheets, texts, sheet music, band recordings,...
Important show information for FOH can be stored with every song and will be shown in the special FOH setlist exports.
The instruments for each band member can be stored for each song. For easy assignment, the available instruments in songs are reduced to the instruments set up in the band member's profile.
If a tempo is specified for the song, this is displayed in the song view by an optical pulse.
Each band member can store personal notes about the instrument, song sequence and extended information for each song. This means that each song can contain information about the tuning, capo positions, FX settings, lyrics reminders, etc., which are only relevant for the respective band member and are also only displayed for this band member in their setlists.
If a song is accessed via a setlist, personal song notes (instrument notes and general notes for the setlist as well as personal detailed notes) for this setlist can be edited quickly one after the other. With that the information can be quickly checked and/or updated before a gig, for example.
Setlists can be created from all songs in the program via drag & drop (including breaks).
Setlists can easily be copied, e.g. to quickly try out another slightly modified variant before a gig without destroying the original setlist or to create a new setlist based on a successful existing one etc.
Setlists can be optimized for instrument changes and musical variety.
A setlist can be downloaded in a format that can be copied directly into the Gema template. The required data is checked for completeness beforehand.
This special export of the setlist includes song name, key, tempo, lead vocals, personal notes, set durations and more. Your can use it as is or can easily create your personal setlist by just removing things you don't need.
3 special setlists can be created for the FOH crew. These also contain lead vocals, tempo and specific technical information stored with the song.
The tempo can be entered manually or with the tap tempo function.
The key(s) of a song can be specified as a short note. They are then displayed in setlist views and the setlist download.
Events
Each bandmate can subscribe to their individual band calendars.
Absences can be very easily entered by bandmates several months or even years in advance, making gig planning even more streamlined.
The band members' absences are shown in the event calendar, giving you an overview of “everything”.
When there are changes in the availability of band members for an event, a notification is automatically sent to the person responsible for the event (this can be turned off in personal notification settings).
Band members can be assigned to events or marked as not needed. This allows for example, special rehearsals for parts of the band to be coordinated without the events appearing for all non-required band members.
Each band member has a default setting in their profile, which can be changed by an admin. Thus, for example, the technical crew can be set to "not needed" by default, so they don't have to be deselected for every event.
Existing events and absences are displayed in the date pickers so that you can see directly whether a date may be blocked. The information is of course also available in the date picker for event groups.
This allows for, e.g., event-specific tech riders to be made publicly available for event organizers.
For event venues, files such as general information about bookings, technical equipment, etc. can be stored.
For events that take place at a one-time venue, information about the venue can also be provided directly in the event. The information about the venue can later be easily changed into a reusable location.
For each band member, it is possible to set an individual fee for an event. The fee is only visible to the respective band member, as well as the band admin and the financial admin of the band. However, only the band and finance admin can change them. For each band member, there is also a default value for the fee, which can be stored in the profile.
Calendar information can be downloaded in Excel and ICS formats.
When an event is created or changed, individual messages can be sent to all band members.
All dates (incl. status and event type) are clearly listed in monthly blocks in an annual overview.
A band admin can turn the calendar subscription feature on and off.
In the extended list view for events, all data is easily accessible in fold-out sections.
Several events can be created at once and grouped very easily using a multi-month calendar, that also shows already existing events.
The rehearsal view shows all availabilities with instrument groups and time data.
All upcoming events can be downloaded as XLS (e.g. for posting in the band room).
All event overviews can be filtered by type, status and personal participation.
Event types (e.g. rehearsal, gig, press meeting,...) make the annual calendar (and not only this one) even more informative.
The availability of each band member for each event can be provided and a comment can be added.
Event availabilities that have already been submitted can be locked as soon as the appointment is no longer in the “Requested” status.
The tabular overview allows for easy scheduling.
Events can be linked to existing setlists and venues. So if your band performs in a specific venue more than once, that data would not have to be added over and over again for each gig. You can also track the songs you played at each gig via the linked setlists, so GEMA reports become way easier.
Band admins (and people responsible for an event) can adjust the availability of band members so that any incoming feedback (even if not initially done in BANDZONE) can also be easily integrated into BANDZONE.
... including address and contact persons.
General
An “e-mail to all” function, which can be accessed directly in the navigation, makes it possible to quickly send an e-mail to all band members.
Audio files can be played back directly via the integrated audio player.
The band dashboard includes recent changes, upcoming appointments, an overview of storage usage, etc.
Any number of bands can be managed in each BANDZONE account. It is irrelevant whether you are an admin yourself or “just” a band member.
Files can be stored in categories. The available categories are specific to the place where files can be attached.
Links to various areas and elements (such as songs or events) of the BANDZONE can be easily shared with band members.
BANDZONE can be easily used on mobile devices and tablets. In our help articles for iOS and android we explain in detail how you can add BANDZONE to your home screen and thus use it almost like an app. What BANDZONE looks like on smartphones and why there is currently no native app is described in a separate article.
With every file upload, you can specify whether this file should be public or only accessible to band members.
