Pre-release screening workflow
Check a Song for AI Before Music Distribution
Artists, labels, and distributors can use a detector as an early screening step before uploading a release. It should never replace rights checks, creator disclosures, contracts, or a human review of disputed cases.
A four-step pre-upload check
- Collect provenance first. Ask for songwriter, performer, producer, and tool credits; project files or stems when appropriate; and the licenses covering any generated material.
- Test the final audio. Upload a representative 30–60 second clip from the version intended for distribution. Avoid silence, spoken intros, or applause-heavy sections.
- Interpret the result conservatively. A high probability is a reason to ask another question, not grounds for an automatic rejection. A low probability cannot rule out an unsupported generator or hybrid workflow.
- Record the decision. Keep the file version, test date, provider result, supporting credits, and the reason for any follow-up. Do not store more personal data than the review needs.
What to request when a result is uncertain
- DAW session screenshots or project files showing the production timeline
- Stems, alternate takes, live recordings, or performance footage
- Generator disclosures and the commercial-use terms that applied on the creation date
- Contributor identities, split sheets, and sample or voice permissions
Why a detector cannot make the release decision
A finished master may combine human performance, AI-generated instrumentals, synthetic vocals, editing, and conventional production. A binary score cannot describe those roles or decide whether the uploader owns the necessary rights. Detection models also change, and previously unseen generators or altered audio can reduce reliability.
Our dated 60-track benchmark classified the sampled Human, Suno, and Udio clips as expected, but the cohort does not represent every genre, language, generator, or mastering chain. Review the accuracy methodology and limitations before using a score operationally.
The tool analyzes an audio file you are authorized to process. It does not inspect a platform page, guarantee acceptance, clear copyright, or submit music to a distributor.
