THE REVIEW HELPS YOUR SONG GET READY

Feedback That Helps. Discovery That Matters.

Every submission receives an AI A&R entry review before it can enter the SODA MACHINE catalog. The report identifies strengths, flags areas that may need attention, and gives your song a consistent readiness benchmark.

The review is not the destination. It is the step that helps prepare and qualify your song for the opportunity.

SEE A SAMPLE REPORT

AI feedback is guidance—not a promise of commercial success.

SAMPLE A&R REPORT · NOT A CUSTOMER RESULT
78/100Pitch Ready

A&R Report Summary

A memorable central idea and a clear chorus give this song a strong foundation. Tightening the second verse could make the story land more effectively.

Strongest element
A chorus hook that reinforces the song’s emotional theme.
Primary obstacle
The second verse repeats information instead of moving the story forward.
Explore the sample recommendations
  1. Add a fresh detail or turning point in verse two.
  2. Trim the introduction to reach the vocal sooner.
  3. Give the final chorus a stronger dynamic lift.

Technical note: Check vocal clarity against the accompaniment.

Next step: Eligible for catalog activation; these are optional polishing suggestions.

YOUR MUSIC. YOUR DECISION.

A Few Things Worth Knowing.

Do I keep ownership of my song?

Yes. Uploading does not transfer ownership to SODA MACHINE. You grant the limited permission needed to process and display your submission through the service. Read the Songwriter Terms.

Who can access songs inside the Machine?

The discovery catalog is for approved Industry Pro accounts and authorized administrators, subject to applicable permissions and Terms. You retain access to your own submissions.

Does SODA guarantee my song will be heard or placed?

No. SODA provides a searchable discovery opportunity. It does not guarantee a listen, contact, selection, placement, signing, cut, or recording.

What happens if my song does not qualify?

You receive the report and can use its feedback to revise your song. Each revised review requires another credit. The current limits are three completed reviews per song, up to two reviews of the same song and five account reviews in a rolling 24 hours.

Can I submit AI-assisted music?

Yes, provided you own or control the necessary rights or are authorized to submit it. For each song, you must disclose whether the lyrics and melody are fully human-created and how AI was used in the recording, including the tools used. AI-generated recordings still need an accurate disclosure and must meet the same submission and readiness requirements.

What audio files can I upload?

MP3 only, at least 192 kbps, no larger than 15 MB, and no longer than 4 minutes 30 seconds. A clean 256–320 kbps export is recommended. Include your lyrics and the per-song ownership and AI-use disclosure.

How long are credits valid?

Credits expire three months after purchase or receipt. Review the expiration dates in your account before using or buying credits.
