FAQ
How acaply works for producers / A&Rs, vocalists, and the people who run sessions.
acaply sources vocals from established artists around the world, who write, record and then provide acapellas that you can create fresh new tracks with, or drop into pre-existing instrumentals that are missing that final piece of the jigsaw.
acaply works on an application basis. Our platform is for established producers / companies in the music industry. We offer Solo accounts, as well as team tiers with 3 seat (Collective) and 5 seat (Studio) levels. Multiple user tiers are typically for labels, management companies or publishers, who may wish to assign seats to producers on their roster or A&Rs / other employees. If your company wishes to purchase a subscription with more than 5 seats, please reach out to hello@acaply.com.
We publish new packs to the platform every week, recorded by established artists all over the world.
No. Once you have a track you want to explore releasing, submit to the artist direct through the platform. If the artist wishes to explore making the release happen, they'll select to open a chat dialogue, where terms, level of credit and license exclusivity can be discussed. Once both parties are aligned, you're good to go!
Yes! Vocalists join acaply because they are looking to land more cuts - be it as an artist level credit, or just as a writer / performer in DSP credits. We rarely see any instances where the answer is a flat out 'no' for submissions - it may just be that they'd prefer to not be publicly facing on the release rather than stand behind it as an artist.
Each user has 50 credits per month. 1 credit = 1 download. Credit top ups may be purchased if a user runs out before the end of the month.
Great! If you're yet to establish what a release looks like and you want to ensure no one else can get their hands on the vocal whilst you figure it out, you can submit a 'Hold' request to the vocalist. If approved, the acapella won't be downloadable from the platform until they decide otherwise, allowing for a window to finish the track/find a label/etc without the risk of someone else exclusively licensing the vocal.
In addition to submitting to a vocalist for a Hold, you can also submit to discuss a release. The right time to submit is once the track is in its final (or near final) form, a release partner (label / distributor) has been established and there's a clear date / window of time that you would like to drop. The vocalist will be presented with this information and can select one of two options: Decline (which closes the request), or Explore Further. If the vocalist selects the latter, a chat dialogue opens on the platform, where terms can be discussed and hopefully agreed to proceed with a release.
Congrats! The acapella is removed from the platform and it's all yours.
