The Fine Print: Artist Plan
- Give Us Credit: We ask that you include "Produced by SOUNDRAW" in your credits. This helps us in several ways:
- It helps spread the word about our service
- It clarifies the source of the music for your audience
- It helps us continue to improve our AI and create better music for you
- Ownership Sharing: For Artist plan users creating full songs:
- SOUNDRAW owns the recording (the "master")
- We share 50/50 ownership of the underlying composition
- This means if your song generates publishing royalties, they would be split equally. Note that you still keep 100% of the recording royalties.
- Distribution Details: If you are on any of our Artist Plans:
- Make songs using beats from Soundraw and distribute them to Spotify or other DSPs
- If you are on an annual plan, you can distribute your songs via SOUNDRAW without additional fees
- It's free, but we keep 10% of the royalties as a distribution fee
- This covers our costs for distributing to various platforms
- The remaining 90% of royalties are yours to keep
- You can also use a third party distribution service like DistroKid
- You have to pay them their fees, and they may also keep some of your royalties too
- You have to pay them their fees, and they may also keep some of your royalties too
4. Some Limitations: There are a few restrictions to be aware of:
- You can't resell or distribute our tracks as-downloaded. This means:
- If you are on an Artist Plan: You cannot download a track from Soundraw and distribute it to Spotify right away, but you can download a beat from Soundraw, add your vocals or other instrumentals you created, and then sell, distribute or monetize the resulting song as you like.
- If you are on a Creator Plan: You can only use Soundraw's tracks as background music of something else. For example, as background music of a video you created. But you don't need to modify the track after you download it.
- Our music can't be used to train an AI: This protects our intellectual property
- For synchronization in major film/TV productions (not your own), you'll need additional clearance from us
- You can't claim our tracks as entirely your own original composition
- You can't register SOUNDRAW songs with any Content ID system
We've crafted these plans and terms to provide you with maximum creative freedom while ensuring we can sustain and improve our AI music generation service. Whether you're a budding YouTuber, an established podcaster, an indie musician, or a professional producer, we have a plan that's tailored to your needs.
