Case Study: 5 Alarm achieves improved music discovery with Standard Beagle Studio

5 Alarm improves music search UX in 6 months with Standard Beagle Studio

5 Alarm (Anthem Entertainment), a large independent production music library, needed to modernize the UI and improve the music search portal UX for its web-based app. Their challenge was to make searching their vast catalog intuitive, allowing producers and editors to easily find a wide variety of tracks and stems through improved filtering and a new AI search component. They engaged Standard Beagle Studio to design a user-friendly experience focused on usability and findability.

Standard Beagle Studio recommended starting with user research before creating high-fidelity designs for three key user journeys. Their solution included an upgraded filtering system, an AI search component, and a modern playlist interface. The high-fidelity prototype allowed 5 Alarm to demonstrate the app to executives and resulted in a significant design upgrade that enhanced the overall user experience for editors.
