How it works

From private upload to professional discovery.

The process separates honest preparation from catalog placement, so you can learn from the review before deciding whether to make a song discoverable.

25¢ per AI A&R review · Four credits for $1 · No subscription

STEP 1

Create your account

Register as a songwriter and confirm your email.

STEP 2

Add review credits

Credits are sold four at a time for $1 and expire three months after purchase or grant.

STEP 3

Upload your materials

Submit the MP3, lyrics, descriptive information, rights confirmation, and AI-use disclosure.

STEP 4

Receive the A&R report

Review the score, summary, strengths, obstacle, priority actions, technical notes, and next-step guidance.

STEP 5

Revise or qualify

If the score is below 75, use the report to guide another version. Each new review uses one credit.

STEP 6

Activate the song

For a $1.50 fee, a song scoring 75+ can enter the library searched by approved industry professionals.

Why separate review from activation?

It keeps the first decision focused on the song itself. You are not charged an activation fee unless the song qualifies and you choose to make it available in the catalog.

What SODA MACHINE does not promise

No platform can promise that a song will be selected, recorded, released, or commercially successful. SODA MACHINE provides structured feedback and a discovery channel; the songwriter controls whether and when to proceed.
