A Symphonic alternative for beat producers

Before moving your catalogue

Switching away from Symphonic is a catalogue migration decision, not just a subscription purchase. Before moving a release, retain its ISRC, release date, audio master and contributor credits. Arrange the new delivery before requesting a takedown so the versions can be matched by stores. Match any existing Content ID claims and ownership permissions before enabling a second fingerprinting service. A distribution move does not automatically move your publishing registrations. Keep a record of the old distributor's outstanding reporting periods and payout access; cancelling a subscription is not the same action as collecting the final royalties.
