Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions regarding application review, master ownership, and the Sonic Audit.
How long does the A&R Committee review take?
Our committee meets weekly. You will receive an initial update on your Application ID within 5 to 10 business days. Shortlisted candidates are invited to an executive alignment call.
Do artists retain master and publishing ownership?
Yes. Under our core Master Licensing & Distribution agreements, artists retain 100% master ownership and underlying publishing rights. We operate as an infrastructure and development partner.
What are the required audio master specs?
The studio standard for final release is uncompressed 24-bit / 44.1kHz or 48kHz .WAV files. True peak levels should remain at or below -1.0 dBFS to prevent lossy inter-sample clipping on streaming DSPs. MP3 is accepted for preliminary audition screening.
