Rights-Cleared Music Clipping: Master & Sync Safe
Clearance happens before a single clip is cut. We confirm the master, the publishing and anything sampled in writing, and we name the platforms the campaign will run on, before a creator ever sees the brief.

Why this matters
Going viral is not useful if the rights are not ready
Distribution creates a second question. Once thousands of people can post your record, what matters is whether the sound is actually cleared for what you are asking them to do with it.
No campaign starts on an open question. Master, sync and platform use get settled first, because a takedown after the clips are live costs the release its momentum.

What makes this different
Master and sync are not the same thing.
A finished track is not a cleared track. Those are two different pieces of paper, which is why the master side and the sync side get handled separately.
Master Rights
The master is the exact recording going out. We confirm who controls it and which uses are permitted, and where a label or distributor holds it, their sign-off lands before distribution starts. Every clip then runs on your official sound, so the activity pools on one page instead of scattering across re-uploads.

Sync Rights
Sync applies the moment your record sits under a video. Every clip in a campaign is exactly that, so the sync side gets confirmed alongside the master rather than after it.

One track. Two rights considerations. One clearer path to distribution.
End-to-End
Rights are part of the campaign, not an afterthought
Clearance runs alongside the build rather than behind it. The brief and the paperwork move together, so nothing waits on a lawyer the day clips are due to post. The full checkpoint list sits on compliance.

Why this matters
A campaign should be as easy to approve as it is to run
For an artist this protects the release. For a label it shortens approval, because the campaign arrives with the clearances already attached and is billed on verified views at a custom CPM per 1,000.
The goal is simple: fewer unknowns between the track being selected and the content being distributed.

Keep it simple
One track. The right details. That's the starting point.
You do not need paperwork ready to talk to us. Send the track, tell us who controls the master, and we will tell you what still needs confirming.
The Track
Send the official recording. Start with the master audio file. High-resolution WAV preferred. We analyze the sonic fingerprint to begin cross-referencing global rights databases immediately.
The Rights Context
Tell us who controls the release. Share relevant rights context: publishing splits, label affiliations, or known sample clearances. If you don't have it all, provide what you know. We trace the rest.
The Campaign
Tell us where the sound needs to go. Intended use helps determine the clearance velocity required. Whether it's a global streaming push or an exclusive sync placement, the destination dictates our protocol.
Rights first
The sound should be ready before the audience arrives
For Artists
Keep the campaign connected to the release.
Start with the track, understand the rights considerations, then build the distribution around it.

For Labels
Give every campaign a clearer starting point.
Keep rights considerations visible before the campaign moves into distribution.
For labelsFrequently Asked Questions
-
It means the recording and its intended use have been checked and authorised in writing before any clip is produced or posted. The master, the publishing, any features or samples, and the platforms the campaign will run on are all confirmed up front rather than assumed.
-
The master is the specific recording being distributed. Sync covers pairing that music with visual content. A clipping campaign touches both, so we treat them as two separate checks instead of one blanket assumption.
-
Yes. Starting from the official recording keeps every clip tied to the same sound on each platform, so plays roll up to your release instead of scattering across anonymous re-uploads. High-resolution WAV is preferred.
-
Yes. Once the rights map for a catalogue is understood, the same structure repeats per release. That is the point of running rights first. The second campaign is faster to approve than the first.
-
No, and nobody can promise that. Platforms make their own decisions. What clearance does is remove the avoidable reasons: unclear master, unclear sync, unauthorised use, and give us a documented position to resolve anything that does come up quickly.
