Contributor Roles: Smarter Rights Management

Contributor Roles just got a major upgrade! Introducing a smarter framework to manage metadata, credits, and rights across every role. Whether you’re delivering to DSPs, organizing royalty splits, or capturing data for publishing, sync, or neighboring rights, this update sets the foundation for it all.

What’s New:

• New Role Categories: Contributors are now grouped into clearly defined roles:

  • Artists, Performers, Producers & Engineers
  • Writers
  • Publishers

• Smarter Metadata Fields: Add ISNI, IPI/CAE codes, PRO affiliations, countries, and label links for writers and publishers directly in the Catalog.

• Track-Level Performer Credits: Assign instrumental roles to contributors like guitarists, drummers, or session musicians—at the track level.

• Mandatory Production Credits: Add at least one Producer or Engineer per release to meet Apple’s metadata requirements.

How it Benefits You:

• Smarter Metadata for DSPs: Aligns with evolving requirements from Apple Music, Spotify, and Deezer.

• Future-Proofing Your Catalog: Enables richer metadata for sync, publishing, and neighboring rights workflows.

• Visibility & Recognition: Gives every contributor, from session musicians to mastering engineers, the credit they deserve.

• Better Royalty Alignment: Lays the groundwork for more accurate contracts, splits, and payment automation.

Download Metadata: Your Data, Instantly Shareable

Accessing your release and track information has never been easier. With Download Metadata, you can instantly generate plain text (.txt) files directly from Revelator Pro. Each file includes key metadata like artist credits, producers, copyrights, and publishing information, everything you need for licensing, manufacturing, PRO registrations, or sharing with your team.

How it Benefits You:

• One-Click Export: Instantly generate metadata files for your releases.
• Standardized File Format: Automatically formatted for industry standards.
• Easy Distribution: Quickly share metadata with your team and partners.

Streamlined Royalty Payments: Global Payouts in USDC

Here’s a sneak peek of our new feature, which is currently in closed beta and available upon request.

If you’re using our distribution deals, you now have a new way to pay your rights holders—quickly, securely, and globally.

Our latest update introduces royalty payments in USDC, a stable digital currency that mirrors the value of the US dollar. You can now send earnings directly to payees through Royalty Splits, no traditional payment providers or local bank accounts required.

Your payees get paid using the Revelator Wallet; a secure digital wallet built for rights holders to claim, manage, and withdraw USDC royalties directly to their EU (SEPA) or US bank account. If they don’t have a digital wallet, earnings are safely held in a Royalty Vault linked to their account, and when ready, they can connect their digital wallet and instantly claim their royalties.

How it Benefits You:

• Global Reach: Pay your artists and collaborators anywhere in the world—no bank account required.
• Single Run, Multiple Payouts: Once your statement is approved, all payees receive their share.
• No Payment Thresholds: Pay even the smallest earnings without waiting to meet a minimum payout amount.

How It Works:

1. Select a track eligible for USDC payouts. It must have complete metadata, a valid ISRC, be available on either Spotify or Apple Music, and not already have a track-level contract.
2. Assign payees and their royalty split percentages.
3. Run your royalties as usual. Once approved, USDC payments are automatically sent based on the assigned splits.

If a recipient doesn’t yet have a digital wallet but has requested to receive their royalties in USDC, they’ll receive secure instructions via email to claim their royalties on their Payee Portal.

Smarter Audio Detection: Keep Your Catalog Safe

ACRCloud in Revelator Pro is getting a major upgrade! Now scanning full tracks, detecting melody-level reuse, and flagging issues that could affect UGC eligibility. As DSPs tighten their content rules, we’ve implemented the most effective, affordable solution to help you stay compliant and protect your catalog before distribution.

On Revelator deals? It’s included. Using your own? Opt-in is available.

What’s New:

• Full-Track + Melody Detection: Scans the entire track, not just clips—to catch covers, remixes, and pitch-shifted versions that may need licensing.
• Smarter UGC Compliance Checks: Flags speech, silence, or non-music content that could affect eligibility on UGC platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

How it Benefits You:

• Stronger protection and compliance: Spot covers, remixes, or unlicensed material before it causes trouble.
• Peace of mind for UGC uploads: Avoid YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok violations that could block monetization or lead you to lose access to these DSPs.
• Catalog protection at scale: Scan more tracks with better accuracy.
