Overnight, our team updated the database and site code to enable the most popular Studio functions, "link to audio on the web" and "upload". These are now integrated into the new site as "Producer Tools". For now, these functions are only available to users that already have a channel on the old Studio product. In the near future, we'll deploy the "Add a Channel" feature and allow people to again start creating new channels at Odeo.

Some of you might be asking, "What about recording"? We are working on that as well and recording will be part of a larger suite of tools that promote the communication between Producers and Viewers. Audio/Video commenting and Podcast recording will be the main components of that new service.

We are working on a data merge to automatically re-claim everyone's feed and restore their privilege level but if you can't wait for that, please open a trouble ticket and send us your channel link and we'll do it manually for you.

Thanks so much for your patience on this. I know that it took a couple weeks to make the changes, but the getting the tools over to the new architecture will make for a much more stable product. Something that we all can appreciate.
