How Audicient uses ACRCloud to make white‑label distribution safer and faster
We built Audicient so anyone can launch a fully‑branded distribution platform—without the overhead. As our white‑label network grew, we needed a scalable way to protect rights and maintain trust across every brand. Here’s how we did it.
Powering dozens of white‑label distributors means thousands of daily uploads. It only takes one unauthorized remix or reused instrumental to create costly headaches.
- Delays from manual screening
- Missed infringements reaching DSPs
- Costly takedowns and partner distrust
ACRCloud’s audio recognition engine could fingerprint any upload and match it against millions of commercial works in real time. We asked: what if every white‑label partner had this protection by default?
That question changed everything.
- Automatic fingerprinting on upload via ACRCloud API
- Smart routing by confidence:
- Match → hold for rights verification
- Probable derivative → request license proof
- Clean → fast‑track QC approval
- Built‑in protection for every white‑label partner—no extra setup
The Impact: Safer distribution at scale
- 🚫 Infringement‑related uploads dropped 70%
- ⚡ QC approval times cut nearly in half
- ✅ First‑pass approvals up 38%
- 📉 DSP rejections down 80%
- 💬 Copyright dispute tickets down 45%
| KPI | Before | After | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infringement Rate | 7.1% | 2.0% | -72% |
| QC Turnaround | 36 hrs | 16 hrs | -55% |
| DSP Rejections | 18.5 / 1,000 releases | 3.7 | -80% |
| First-Pass Approvals | 54% | 74% | +38% |
| Support Tickets | 240/mo | 132/mo | -45% |
The Creator Experience: Education, not punishment
Instead of cold takedown‑style warnings, creators see friendly, educational prompts:
“Your uploaded release may contain material resembling another work. Please confirm you have the rights or provide proof of ownership here.”
This UX shift improved transparency, sped up responses, and raised licensing awareness.
“Before ACRCloud, infringement cases would surface after delivery—sometimes days or weeks later. Now we catch them before they ever leave the dashboard. It’s faster, smarter, and fairer—for every distributor using our white‑label platform.”
Looking Forward
- Self‑serve pre‑check tools for artists
- Adaptive detection thresholds by genre
- Trust‑based QC prioritization for verified creators
Summary
Audicient + ACRCloud is how we built the next generation of white‑label distribution: scalable infrastructure paired with intelligent rights detection. The result is distribution that’s faster, safer, and more transparent for every artist, label, and brand on our platform.
Audicient empowers labels and distributors with an all-in-one, future-ready music technology ecosystem — integrating distribution, promotion, payments, and growth.
