Do artists keep their masters and publishing? Our default stance is ownership‑first. We design agreements to protect your rights while enabling growth.
How does metadata help me get paid? Accurate, standardized metadata ensures your works are matched correctly across DSPs, PROs, and licensors—closing gaps where royalties commonly go missing.
Can we collaborate remotely at full quality? Yes—via CoLabs. We routinely run 24‑bit/48 kHz sessions with accredited engineers for a true studio feel, remotely.
