We've been working hard at moving our entire workflow over to a version control system, and have now been successfully using it for a number of weeks. To our customers, this means that we are significantly less vulnerable to file corruption or loss as a result of, for example, damage to hardware. Furthermore, we have the ability to roll back files to almost any point within it's construction.

Digital Music Art continues to deploy and use cutting edge techniques more often found in software development, and adapting them for use in our workflows, and in doing so, we improve both security and productivity.

After almost 3 weeks of solid programming, we have now fully implemented TabTracker for our regular clients. Tab Tracker is an online database of all the jobs required to complete a project. Audio files and MP3's can be stored along side jobs, priorities can be set by the client, and queries can be raised by the engravers.

It has been hailed as "remarkable" by our friends over at RockSchool, and Total Guitar's Music Editor, James Uings, said he would like to put us forward for a "Nobel Prize".

Tab Tracker gives our clients an instant snapshot of the exact state of a project, but also has the depth to drill right down into the nitty gritty of what needs to be done, on both sides, to get the work done.
