Sourceaudio vs tunesat

[LAwriter]

Though, to be fair, Sourceaudio’s system is probably more accurate.

Magnatudes more accurate. IMO, the way of the future. I was doing a bit of consulting with them when they started to move into the audio watermark arena, and they shared some of their test criteria. It’s a very robust system.

Thanks for the clarification Art, quite clearer now on the Audio watermarking bit.

One question though. Currently, do any of the US PROs accept either one of these companies detections as proof of performance?

BMI doesn’t pay on it but it is helpful in tracking down cue sheets or alerting a library to track down. The one area it has helped tremendously, for me, is with commercials. Once detected I can find it on Competitrack and BMI does pay from Competitrack. We currently have a commercial that is running on all channels that I would not have known about if it hadn’t been for Tunesat.

Awesome thread, guys and great tips there, Art. In regards to chasing payment/ cue sheet for commercial usage, would you normally wait and see with a few royalty statements before chasing it up with your PRO? If so how long?

Cheers!

I would wait three quarters, as that’s how long it usually takes. I have an Oxiclean commercial currently running that started back in June. Will hopefully see some of it in March 2019 statement. If not, will contact BMI.

My publishers music is via source audio and was wondering, if which they do use SA detection service would that in turn block tunesat from detecting any placements.

No, there’s no interference between SourceAudio detect and Tunesat or any other fingerprinting system.
