Run one final review before you distribute, license, sell or submit an AI-assisted track.
This free pre-release PDF helps you check whether the creative work, rights file, transparency decision, metadata and delivery assets are ready for the next step.
Validate before release
- final master, lyrics, artwork and version names;
- human contribution record and proof-file completeness;
- AI platform, plan, creation date and commercial-use permission;
- recognizable lyric, melody, hook, arrangement or signature expression, and voice identity;
- samples, uploaded audio, collaborators and voice consent;
- AI disclosure, provenance metadata and platform labels;
- credits, ISRC, UPC and distributor fields;
- licence, assignment and Content ID conflicts;
- backup, archive and final released-version records.
2026 release gate: If a serious release candidate contains recognizable protected lyrics, melody, hook, distinctive arrangement/signature expression or another identifiable element from an existing work, hold the release and revise, regenerate or seek qualified review. Paid-plan commercial permission does not clear third-party rights.
