Release Passport

Your music, documented like a pro

Missing ISRCs and unsigned splits are why millions in royalties never reach artists. Fill one passport per track — ten minutes that protect every euro it will ever earn.

Free — 30 credits on signup, no card required

Everything a distributor, PRO or supervisor will ask for

One place, attached to your track, exportable and shareable.

Splits that add up

Who owns what, agreed BEFORE release — with a live check that shares total 100%. The #1 source of collaborator disputes, solved.

ISRC & UPC

The identifiers that connect your track to every royalty database in the world. Without them, your money waits in someone else's account.

AI provenance certificate

Declare how the track was made (100% human to fully generated) and issue a public, dated certificate — platforms now label AI content, and the EU AI Act demands transparency.

Sync kit

Instrumental, stems, clean version, licensing contact and an AI one-pager — answer a music supervisor's brief in minutes, not days.

Session vault

Stems, MIDI, project files and licenses stored outside your DAW — sessions become impossible to reopen years later; your vault doesn't.

Completeness score

A 0-100% score shows exactly what's missing before you distribute. Autosaved as you type.

How it works

01

Fill in the passport

Open any track, hit the Passport tab: identifiers, splits, credits, samples. Ten minutes, autosaved.

02

Declare & certify

Declare the AI provenance and issue your public certificate — a dated page you can share with distributors, playlists and press.

03

Release protected

Distribute knowing every contributor is credited, every split is agreed, and every royalty pipe points at you.

Why metadata decides whether you get paid

Every stream, sync placement and radio play triggers a chain of databases trying to figure out who to pay. That chain runs on identifiers: the ISRC identifies your recording, the UPC your release, IPI numbers your authors and composers. When any link is missing or inconsistent — a misspelled name, an unregistered split — the money doesn't disappear, it just stops moving. In the United States alone, the Mechanical Licensing Collective has reported over $168 million in historical royalties still waiting to be matched to their owners.

Independent artists are the most exposed: no label back-office fills these forms for you. The Release Passport puts every field a distributor, collecting society or music supervisor will ever request in one place, attached to the track itself, with a completeness score that tells you exactly what is still missing before you press release.

Splits: the conversation to have before the release, not after

Most collaborator disputes have the same root cause: shares were never agreed in writing while everyone was still friends. The passport's split editor forces the healthy habit — name, role, percentage, explicit agreement from each contributor — and warns you until the total reaches exactly 100%.

Credits matter beyond politeness: performer and producer credits feed neighbouring rights, a revenue stream many independents never collect simply because their contributions were never documented anywhere machine-readable.

AI provenance: transparency is becoming the price of admission

Streaming platforms have started labelling fully AI-generated music and excluding it from editorial and algorithmic recommendations. In the European Union, transparency obligations for AI-generated content apply since August 2026. Whether your track is 100% human, AI-assisted or hybrid, the ability to prove how it was made is turning into a commercial asset.

MusicPulse lets you declare the category, list the tools used and their role, confirm you hold consent for any imitable voice — then issue a public, timestamped provenance certificate you can attach to submissions, press kits and distributor uploads.

Frequently asked questions

What is an ISRC and where do I get one?+

The ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) uniquely identifies one recording. Your distributor usually assigns one free at upload — the passport stores it so every future royalty claim, sync license or dispute can reference it instantly.

What should a split sheet contain?+

Every contributor's legal name, role (author, composer, producer, performer), percentage share and explicit agreement — ideally before release. The passport's editor checks that shares total 100% and records each collaborator's confirmation.

Is the AI provenance certificate legally binding?+

It is a public, timestamped declaration by the artist, not a legal registration. It demonstrates good faith, aligns with the EU AI Act's transparency spirit, and gives distributors, playlists and press a verifiable reference — which is exactly what they increasingly ask for.

Does the passport cost credits?+

No. Filling the passport, issuing the certificate and storing vault files are free. Only the AI-generated sync one-pager costs 5 credits, because it runs an AI generation.
