HOW IT WORKS
Submit Your Music
Upload your tracks through the Producer Dashboard or Submit Music page. Include metadata, genre tags, and cover art for the best placement results.
Catalog Review
Our A&R team reviews every submission for quality, commercial viability, and sync potential. You'll receive an approval or feedback email within 5–7 business days.
Track Goes Live
Approved tracks are published to the Rogue Wave catalog and made available for licensing. Your track is now discoverable by brands, filmmakers, and content creators.
License Is Purchased
When a buyer licenses your track, the transaction is processed through Stripe. A PDF license agreement is automatically generated and delivered to the buyer.
You Get Paid
Your revenue share is calculated based on your SonicVerse subscription tier. Payouts are processed monthly to your registered payment method.

Can I set my own prices?
