Pitch the right track before the brief goes cold

A pitch that lands before the brief closes

1. Tag-rich metadata

   Mood, tempo, key, genre, instrumentation, and lyrical themes on the metadata tab. The fields a brief actually asks for.

2. Catalog search that matches the brief

   Filter the catalog by any tag in seconds. Build a shortlist while the brief is still in your inbox.

3. Pitch package, not a Dropbox folder

   Cover art, audio, lyrics, credits, and rights summary on one link. The supervisor sees a release page, not a zip file.

4. No signup for the supervisor

   Recipients open the link and listen. No account, no password, no app install. The pitch loads in their browser.

5. Per-link listen-time analytics

   See which tracks the supervisor played, how long, and how many times. Know which pitch landed before you follow up.

6. Splits and rights at the moment of pitch

   Splits, master ownership, and publishing show up next to the audio. No "let me check who owns what" after the supervisor says yes.

7. License terms e-sign in the project

   Capture the licensing terms in the agreements tab. E-sign once, export the PDF for the label and the CSV for accounting.

8. Links that do not expire

   The pitch link works on day one and on day ninety. No 7-day countdown, no re-uploading because the supervisor was on holiday.

Vandall Business runs in a browser, so the release calendar and the task board are as available on the way to a meeting as they are at the desk.

Questions people ask first

Can I share my catalog with music supervisors without making them sign up?

Yes. The pitch link opens in any browser. The supervisor listens, reads lyrics, and sees credits and rights without an account, password, or install.

Does Vandall tag tracks automatically?

Tagging today is manual. You enter mood, tempo, key, genre, and instrumentation on the metadata tab. AI tag suggestions are on the roadmap, not shipped.

Can I see whether the supervisor actually listened?

Yes. Every pitch link has per-recipient, per-track listen-time and replay counts in the send tab. You see what was played, how long, and how many times.

Do the pitch links expire?

No. The link works on day one and on day ninety. A supervisor returning months later opens the same URL.

How do splits and rights show up on the pitch?

Splits, master ownership, and publishing surface next to the audio on the pitch page. The supervisor sees who owns what without a follow-up email.

How do I capture the licensing deal once a supervisor says yes?

Use the agreements tab. Capture fee, term, territory, and media. Parties e-sign in the project, and you can export PDF and CSV any time.
