Search by credits, studios, plants and places
Gatefold knows the people on a record and the rooms and plants it came from, because Discogs keeps those credits. These prefixes search your Shelf for them.
How do I find who worked on a record?
credit: matches a person in any role. The others narrow to one role:
credit:Steve Albiniproducer:Brian Enomaster:Bob Ludwig(mastering engineer)mixed:Tchad Blake(mix engineer)engineer:Geoff Emerick
A partial name works. Results come from the credits on your pressing, so a record with thin credits on Discogs can miss.
How do I find where a record was made?
studio:Sound Cityfinds records recorded or mixed at a studio.plant:Optimalfinds records pressed or manufactured at a plant.
Stats has Top Studios and Top Pressing Plants cards, and each row opens one of these searches. The shelf can show more records than the card counts, because the card counts one per album and the shelf counts every pressing you own.
How do I find records from a city?
place: finds records tied to a city. place:Detroit is any tie. place:recorded in London, place:from Aberdeen and place:active in Berlin pick one kind. When two places share a name, add the country after a comma: place:from Paris, France. Atlas draws the same thing on a map, and a pin's count matches the shelf result. More in Atlas: your shelf on a map.
Why does a studio or credit search come back quiet?
Some pressings have no studio or plant on Discogs, so a quiet result is a gap in the data, not a broken search. Commas in these values are part of the name, so studio:Sound City, Van Nuys stays one search.
