Why SoundCheck
The solution for modern music rights management
The music industry is experiencing unprecedented volumes of digital submissions. With this growth comes increased risk: faulty audio, incorrect metadata, fraudulent claims and duplicate registrations all threaten the accuracy of royalty distribution and the credibility of rights organisations.
Most organisations still rely on manual checks or fragmented tools. This creates delays, inconsistencies and rising administrative costs.
SoundCheck solves these challenges by providing a unified, automated validation layer that analyses both the audio content and associated metadata. By verifying technical integrity, originality and provenance at the moment of submission, SoundCheck ensures the long-term accuracy and reliability of your rights database.
For organisations responsible for large-scale registration and copyright protection, SoundCheck provides the enterprise-grade assurance required to operate in today’s digital-first environment.
How SoundCheck Works
Intelligent validation built directly into your rights-holder portal
SoundCheck enhances your existing registration workflow without changing how creators submit their works. When a new track is uploaded, the system automatically performs a multi-layered analysis designed specifically for enterprise music rights management:
- It validates audio quality and file structure.
- It checks metadata consistency against industry standards, improving catalogue accuracy.
- It uses advanced music recognition technology to detect duplicates, sound-alikes and manipulations.
- It identifies AI-generated or partially synthetic content.
- It secures the submission with digital provenance, supporting future copyright or ownership claims.
All results are returned to your back office in a structured, machine-readable format, enabling rapid decision-making, improved compliance and significantly fewer manual interventions.
For organisations seeking to modernise or automate their CMO workflow, SoundCheck offers an immediate uplift in efficiency, accuracy and trustworthiness.
For music rights organisations: CMOs, PROs and NROs
SoundCheck is engineered for organisations that require high-volume, high-accuracy music rights management. It reduces administrative overhead, improves registration quality and minimises disputes, all essential for CMOs who must maintain trust and transparency with their members.
For publishers and record labels
Publishers and labels gain stronger catalogue protection and clearer ownership trails. With SoundCheck in place, every work is correctly attributed, protected from unauthorised duplication and aligned with established identification standards, improving downstream royalty performance.
For creators and rightsholders
Creators benefit from reliable registrations, improved royalty accuracy and enhanced protection against AI-generated copies, impersonation and fraudulent claims — all without changing their submission process.
The SoundCheck Modules
A modular enterprise system designed for scalability
SoundCheck consists of three interconnected modules, each addressing a critical area of music rights validation. Organisations can deploy them individually or as part of a unified enterprise platform.
Core validation & workflow intelligence
This module forms the backbone of a modern, automated music registration system. It ensures each audio file is technically valid, each metadata field is consistent, and each submission is routed correctly based on intelligent workflow recommendations. This dramatically reduces manual handling and improves the efficiency of large-scale CMO workflows.
Musical content & originality analysis
This advanced module uses enterprise-grade audio fingerprinting technology to identify duplicates, clones, sound-alikes and manipulated recordings. It also offers deep analysis to detect AI-generated music. For organisations serious about protecting their catalogue and rights database, this module provides a powerful shield.
Provenance & authorship assurance
Built for governance, compliance and long-term transparency, this module establishes an immutable, timestamped provenance record for every submission. It supports ownership verification, dispute resolution and legal compliance.
Integration
Integration that fits your infrastructure
SoundCheck integrates seamlessly into any existing rights-holder or member portal through a secure, high-performance API. Creators continue to use the same forms and workflows they already know; SoundCheck operates silently beneath the surface.
The system supports:
- DDEX-compliant ingestion
- Standard identification frameworks such as ISRC and ISWC
- GDPR-compliant data handling
- Enterprise-level security requirements
- High submission volumes typical of modern CMOs and publishers
SoundCheck enhances your current infrastructure without disruption, making it the ideal upgrade path for organisations that need a future-proof music registration system.
