The short answer is no, there is no blanket guarantee that every individual library will accept every track. However, your music is guaranteed to be submitted for evaluation across our entire network of 100+ partner libraries.
At That Pitch, our commitment is to provide you with the widest possible reach. While we ensure your music is technically compliant and distributed to our network, individual music libraries and sync supervisors act as independent gatekeepers. They are selective by nature to ensure their catalogs maintain specific brand standards and quality benchmarks.
The Distribution Workflow
Every track you upload follows a standardized process designed to get your music in front of as many curators as possible:
1.Technical Validation:
Once you upload, our system automatically audits your track for technical standards (BPM, file quality, metadata). If it passes, it is marked as "Approved for Network Distribution."
2.Network Propagation:
Every approved track is immediately pushed into the pitching pools of our 100+ partner libraries. Your music is now visible and searchable to every curator in our network.
3.Curator Review & Selection:
Individual libraries review the incoming assets. They select tracks that align with their specific brand, current client needs, and internal quality standards for their own active catalogs.
Why Libraries Are Selective
It is important to understand that our partner libraries are not passive receptacles for files—they are active businesses. They prioritize tracks based on:
Brand Alignment: A library focused on high-end fashion commercials will have different acceptance standards than one focused on local independent film documentaries.
Catalog Balance: A library may decline a great track simply because they already have an oversupply of that specific genre or mood in their active roster.
Market Trends: Libraries are constantly refreshing their catalogs to match the current requests they are receiving from music supervisors, editors, and advertisers.
⚠️ The Distribution vs. Acceptance Distinction: Our platform guarantees the distribution of your compliant music to our entire network of 100+ libraries. We provide the infrastructure and the access. However, final acceptance decisions are always up to each individual library. Their selective process is what gives their catalogs value to the music supervisors who license them.
How to Maximize Your Acceptance Rates
Because library curators are looking for specific "sync-ready" utility, you can increase your chances of being accepted by:
Focusing on Metadata: Ensure your BPM, Key, Genre, and Mood tags are highly accurate. Supervisors search by these data points, and incorrect tags are the #1 reason tracks are ignored.
Providing Stems: Libraries prioritize tracks that come with high-resolution stems (instrumentals, drum-only, etc.), as these are essential for video editors to mix your music into their timelines.
Quality Control: Sync is a professional standard. Ensure your production quality, mix balance, and master levels are commercially competitive.
Simple version: That Pitch guarantees your music will be distributed to our network of 100+ libraries for evaluation. However, individual library curators are selective and decide which tracks fit their specific commercial catalogs. Your music isn't guaranteed a home in every library, but it is guaranteed the opportunity to be heard by every curator in our system.
