Audio Fingerprinting – How We Identify Songs

Audio fingerprinting is the process of digitally condensing an audio signal, generated by extracting acoustic relevant characteristics of a piece of audio content. Our motto is “We hear everything everywhere and tell everyone who wants to know.” Something we don’t mention so often but we feel equally proud of is how we do it: audio…

Music Detection with Deep Music Detector

Music detection, deep learning and our deep music detector. The definition of music is usually quite abstract, touching on the concepts of pitch, rhythm, and timbre.

FAQs

Who's in charge of delivering the reports to CMOs?

We can handle it for you, but in the end it’s your decision. We work with more than 100 Collective Management Organisations worldwide so it’s likely we’re already friendly with yours.

Are you able to handle re-runs?

Yes. Consolidating re-runs into one single cue-sheet is very important for consistency. If you don't have reliable unique identifiers, then our metadata matching and audio-fingerprinting tech groups re-runs into single audiovisual productions.

How long does Reportal store identification data for?

As long as you need us to.

How can I check identification results?

Reportal's easy-to-use dashboard provides access to audio and video evidence of everything. You can also check the stats page to better understand the music usage across your channels.

Do you need us to send the recordings of the channels?

We set up our recording infrastructure so you don't need provide recordings. If you already have them, you can send them to us.

Is this 24/7 monitoring or on-demand cue-sheet creation?

Both. Reportal monitors channels 24/7 and creates on-demand cue-sheets based on EDL’s, video upload, audio upload or manually.

What about security?

We're fully ISO27001 certified in Information Security Management. Our platform is hosted in datacentres with 24/7 security, and the apps are deployed in private clouds protected by firewalls and connected by VPN. All access to public services is secured with SSL technologies compliant with industry standards.
