Open up Velvet Singer today and you will find a new update which is the result of a few months of exciting work, responding to so many brilliant ideas from you!
Now Even More Repertoire!
Thanks to our fantastic research team, we have added over 200 new operatic works to the aria database, including over 1800 brand new opera roles!
You can immediately pick from these new roles simply by navigating to the Repertoire module and clicking “New Record.”
And more repertoire is on its way!
Trends Email Report After Each Session
New to version 2.4.2, when you close Velvet Singer, the system will ask if you would like to email your trends report.
The report includes a summary of your session (how many records were added in each table as well as showing how your data is trending. For example: are you singing more auditions per month, meeting more people, doing more coachings, making more money?
Calendar Rapid Data Entry Screen
Now you can save time when entering your rehearsal schedules using the new “Add Multiple Events” feature. This form is set to automatically trigger to make data entry as fast as possible.
Repertoire Multi-Picker
Now when you pick repertoire to add, you can select multiple at once. Also, we improved the look of this layout so that you can find what you are looking for even quicker. It will now also highlight repertoire that is already in your list.
Backup Location
Want to backup your most important career data to a remote drive or hosted server? Now it is easier than ever.
In addition to the regular backups to the Velvet Singer/Backups/ folder, you can also automatically set your system to backup to another location. This can include a mapped drive or a Dropbox folder.
In this example, I backup my file to a local Dropbox folder. When Dropbox sees the new file, it automatically begins uploading the file to their servers “quietly” in the background while I go about my day. Pretty slick!
Professional References Quick Report
Upon request from one of our customers, we created a new branded report which is perfect for sending along with your applications.
The top area is triggered by our “branded” settings so you can pick your own font or chose your own logo. The report will automatically include any professional contacts flagged with the new “References” type.
Any other great ideas? Send them along and we will make them come to life.
IMAP Email Folders Now Sync
Another fantastic customer request is the ability to sync multiple email folders using the IMAP Protocol. Done and done!
Now from the Main Menu / Settings / Email Settings you can easily change over to IMAP. Once you do, you can click “Sync Folder List” to bring in your list of Email folders and decide which folders you want to check.
You can click around the top menu bar to discover them. For example, the records menu shows speed keys assigned to Command+N, D, E, T, J, R and S. (On a Windows machine, these keys are the same but with Ctrl+ instead of Command). In the Auditions module, these speed keys will do the following things:
