Aliada Create v2.1.0: Protect unfinished sessions and share your studio brand

Studio and Enterprise teams get more control over work before it’s ready to release: Audio Cutoff Protection holds back the end of a session, and Studio Branding puts your logo and URL on the work you share. There are also Aliada apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac, favorites, feedback threads, better sharing, and a player that keeps playing as you move between pages. And “Asset” is now “Session”, the word musicians already use.

New

• Audio Cutoff Protection. On Studio and Enterprise, a team admin can hold back the final 1 to 50% of each version in a session that isn’t paid for or ready for release. The protected end is marked on the waveform and is unavailable to listeners and non-admins. Team admins keep full playback and download access.
• Studio Branding. Studio and Enterprise users can set a studio logo and URL. They appear on shared sessions, your profile and the player, so listeners can see where the work came from.
• Aliada apps for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Play shared sessions in the new apps, in beta on TestFlight. Want an Android version? Tell us through the Feedback button.
• A player bar that follows you. Audio keeps playing as you move between pages.
• “Session” replaces “Asset” throughout Aliada.
• Library 1.1. See your total storage at a glance, with a breakdown for each team if you work in more than one.
• Favorites. Star a version. Favorites appear in the compare view and version menus, and you can create a share with only the versions you’ve starred.
• Better sharing. Save public shares to “Shared with me”, create links that never expire on paid plans, and open your device’s share menu from the share links table.
• Feedback threads. Send feedback or a bug report to the Aliada team from the toolbar, attach a screenshot, and keep the conversation going in Aliada.
• Contacts. Archive, restore or delete contacts, filter for deleted ones, and Aliada remembers your page size.
• Analytics breakdowns. Plays broken down by operating system, OS manufacturer, app and app version, with plays from the Aliada app identified correctly.

Improved

• Sharing and search. Share pages have smoother transitions, clearer actions and better loading states. Playlist and shared-session searches include sessions from active shares, showing only the versions each share allows.
• Privacy and permissions. Only the team owner sees team members’ email addresses, an invitation can be accepted only by the address it was sent to, and permission checks are tighter across contacts, submission boxes and more.
• Login. Login buttons stay disabled until the security check finishes, which keeps out automated abuse without duplicate submissions.
• Phones and tablets. Tables become readable cards on small screens, empty table cells show a dash, player and compare headers handle long titles, and pages no longer bounce past their edges.
• Uploads and versions. Upload limits are stated before you choose a file, and changing a version’s normalization has a clearer flow with better feedback.
• Accessibility. Emoji reactions work fully from the keyboard, player shortcuts are more consistent, and tooltips behave better with mouse and touch.

Fixed

• Password-protected shares unlock reliably and keep access while audio loads.
• Team invitation links open correctly, and pending invitation dialogs display as expected.
• You no longer get notifications for your own comments.
• “Shared with me” and recent-session cards refresh after sharing activity.
• Analytics charts stay stable when filters change.
• Fixed crashes involving missing versions, profile normalization settings and invalid time zones.
• Compare controls show the correct session image and version labels, reset the playhead correctly, and handle versions that are still processing more clearly.
• Analytics widgets render and update, and the dropdown arrows in analytics filters are back.
• The version picker scrolls on phones.
• The share button in the share links table looks and lines up correctly.
