This guide gets you from “I don’t have an account” to “my first gig is in the system” in about 15 minutes.

​
Create account

Open app.soundchecklive.io and tap Sign up. Every new workspace starts with an organization. There is no solo vs organization choice. Freelancers and solo acts still name their org (your band or production brand, for example). You can belong to multiple organizations later. Account credentials are the last step of the sign-up wizard. When you reach Create account, choose one of:
  • Email + password. Available on every surface. Verify your email when prompted.
  • Continue with Google. Available on every surface (web, iOS, and Android). Fastest if you already use Google.
  • Continue with Apple. iOS native and web (including Safari). Android native is Google only, with no Apple button.
The wizard does not include a plan picker. If you arrived from marketing with ?planId= in the URL, Soundcheck can send you to billing after signup. That is separate from the wizard itself.

​
Organization setup wizard

The sign-up wizard has three steps:
1

Your org

Enter your organization name (required). This name appears on invitations, contracts, and your booking page. Optionally upload a logo. A monogram shows until you add one.
2

What you do

Pick a business type: Production company, Band or artist, DJ collective, Venue, Event producer, or Something else. Production company is preselected. Your choice seeds a starter position catalog silently. There is no roster review in the wizard. Fine-tune roles later under Settings → Organization → Positions (/settings/organization/positions). See Positions.
3

Create account

Add email and password, or continue with Google (all surfaces) or Apple (iOS native and web, including Safari; not Android native). Complete verification if prompted.
The wizard does not invite teammates or walk you through defining positions. Those come after you are in the app.

​
After signup

Once your account is verified and your organization is bootstrapped:
  • You may see a welcome screen celebrating the new org.
  • Home is your day-to-day landing page. New-member onboarding prompts live in My Mailbox (Onboarding tab), not on Home.
Use Home as your compass for the first few days. See Your first 7 days for a day-by-day path.

​
Invite members

Invites happen after signup, not in the wizard. From Settings → Staff (or your organization’s Staff area), send invitations by email. Each invitee gets:
  • An email with a join link.
  • Onboarding steps in My Mailbox that collect profile details and positions.
Your plan has a seat limit, and pending invitations count toward it. On Free you get 5 seats. If inviting would exceed your cap, the invite is blocked until you free up seats or upgrade. See Seat limits.
Once someone is active, admins can mark them onboarded without forcing every step. Handy for people you have already brought up to speed. See Invitations for the full flow.

​
Create first gig

The fastest path:
  1. Open Gigs and click New gig or Create Gig (or Create First Gig on the empty list).
  2. Enter title, date/time, and venue (location is optional if the hold is not firm yet).
  3. Save. Scratch-created gigs land as Active immediately. There is no Save as draft or Publish step on this path.
  4. On the gig page, open Build team → Manage Team → add positions → assign people → Continue → Review & send invites → Save & Send when you are ready.
Gigs created from templates start as Draft. Use Set to Active when you are ready for the crew to see them. See Draft vs published.
On Free, manual team building works out of the box. Call list and preset team quick-apply require Pro+ (Pro, Team, or Enterprise). See Building teams. For the full walkthrough see Creating gigs. If you already have gigs in a spreadsheet, jump to Imports instead. You can bulk-load dozens at once.
