What is LMG Core?

If you’ve never used a platform like this before, start here. No jargon — just the idea.

The problem LMG Core solves

Music doesn’t get made by one person sending one file. A single release can involve dozens of versions, several collaborators, multiple studios, and a small mountain of files — demos, stems, mixes, masters, artwork, contracts.

Without a system, that work scatters: tracks live in someone’s downloads folder, the “final” mix is actually final_v3_REALfinal.wav, and nobody’s sure who’s allowed to touch what. When a team grows or spans the globe, the chaos grows with it.

LMG Core is the one place where all of that lives — organized, versioned, and shared with exactly the right people.

What LMG Core actually is

Think of LMG Core as a shared home for your music organization. Inside it you get:

🏢

An organization

Your team's private space. Everything you do happens inside it.

👥

Members

The people you invite — your collaborators, with roles that set what each can do.

🧩

Platforms

Focused tools inside LMG Core. File management lives in a platform called Geniviv.

📊

A dashboard

Your launch pad — recent activity, storage, and team stats at a glance.

A platform for a global team

LMG Core is built for organizations that don’t all sit in the same room — or the same country. That shapes everything:

• One shared source of truth. Whether your collaborators are in London, Lagos, or Los Angeles, they all see the same library, the same versions, the same history.
• Real-time by default. When a teammate uploads a new mix or shares a file with you, you see it right away — no refreshing, no “did you get my email?”
• Access you can trust. Sharing a file with a person gives them precisely the access you choose, and nothing more.

The mental model

An organization is your house. Members are the people who have keys. Platforms are the rooms (Geniviv is the room where your files live). And access levels decide who can walk into which room and what they can do there.

What this guide will teach you

These docs are written to be read in order, building from zero:

1. Start here — the idea, the vocabulary, and a hands-on quickstart.
2. Your organization — setting it up, inviting people, and roles.
3. Platforms — a deep dive into Geniviv, where your files live.
4. Collaboration — notifications and video calls.
5. Plans & billing — how seats and subscriptions work.
6. Advanced workflows — patterns for scaling to a large organization.
