Documentation

Documentation.

Documentation expands as the beta program develops. Beta testers receive setup guides directly. The structure below previews what will be public at launch.

Sections

What will be here.

01 · Getting started

Install, first launch, system requirements.

Download and install the macOS build, what to expect on first launch, and the system requirements for SessionCodex and the DAWs it talks to.

Coming with launch
02 · Setup & first scan

Pointing SessionCodex at your sessions.

How to choose the folders SessionCodex watches, what the scan does to your library, and — importantly — what it doesn't do.

Coming with launch
03 · Searching your library

Search syntax, filters, custom attributes.

The query language, how filters combine, fuzzy match behavior, and how to add your own attributes to the index.

Coming with launch
04 · Project lifecycle

Phases, multi-DAW projects, tracking workflow.

How phases work, how to model a record that crosses DAWs, and how SessionCodex tracks project state without getting in your way.

Coming with launch
05 · Sidecar files & portability

What the .dtxaudio/ folder contains.

The contents of the sidecar folder, what gets written when, and how to move libraries between machines without losing your catalog.

Coming with launch
06 · Pro Tools deep integration

PTSL setup — what it requires, what it reads.

Enabling PTSL on Pro Tools 2023.6+, what SessionCodex can read through the gRPC interface, and what falls back to file-only parsing.

Coming with launch

Beta testers: if you're in the program and need help, message Derek directly via the feedback channel. Setup guides specific to the current build live there, not here.
