Share unreleased beats only with the people you choose.

Unreleased beats get passed around as files nobody can take back, and a few months later nobody's sure who heard what. In vvault, you decide who each beat opens for, and you work on the same packs as your producers.

vvault is made for producers. This page covers what it does today for the managers and labels who work with them, and what it doesn't.

Work on the same beats as your producers

Collab packs and tracks come with every plan. Invite the producers you work with into a pack: they add their beats and edit it with you. Everyone works from the same pack, instead of sending files back and forth.

Everyone keeps their own account and their own plan. Every upload starts private, and every beat, pack and folder has its own link.

Unreleased music, only for the people you choose

How far each beat goes is up to you. The details are on the security page.

Private until it's shared

Every upload starts private. It isn't reachable, listed or indexed anywhere until someone shares it.

Invite-only links

Share a pack only with the people you invite. They sign in to listen, so vvault can check it's them.

A pack opens as a whole

Anyone who can open a pack can play every beat in it, so put in it only what they may hear. A track's own link keeps its own setting.

Links that expire

Every play and download goes through a signed link that expires, so an address copied out of a browser doesn't keep working.

Every plan

Dated proof you had the beat, with the splits on it

Every beat uploaded on the web gets a dated certificate with the file's SHA-256 fingerprint. Add the collaborators and their splits, the collecting society, and the ISRC or ISWC when you have them, and they go on the certificate too.

It's dated proof that you had this exact file at that moment. It doesn't prove who made the beat, and it isn't a copyright registration. See the certificate.

Splits

Receive your split when a beat sells

When a beat you're on sells on vvault, you can receive your split, on Pro or on Ultra.

vvault takes 0% commission on the sale, and only Stripe's card fees apply. The buyer gets a licence PDF in their name. How selling works.

Contacts and email

Everyone you send to, in one list

Keep the artists, A&Rs and producers you deal with in one contact list, on every plan, or bring your list in from a CSV or Excel file. Email beats from vvault and each person gets their own link, so every play comes back with a name.

On Pro, each contact shows everything they did, in order, with groups and tags, and groups that update themselves from a rule, like “listened for more than 60 seconds”. Email your beats.

Plainly

What vvault doesn't do for a label

vvault is a tool for producers that a manager or a label can use. Here is where it stops.

No team plan

Everyone signs in with their own account, on their own plan: Pro or Ultra. There are no seats to buy. Working together happens in collab packs and tracks.

No distribution or royalty statements

vvault doesn't deliver releases to streaming services or do royalty accounting. It covers what happens before a release.

No Android app

There's the web app and the iPhone app. On Android, use vvault in the browser.

Questions

Is there a team or label plan?

No. Everyone uses their own account, on Pro or Ultra, and you work together in collab packs and tracks. See pricing.

Do the people we send to need an account?

No. They press play in their browser. Only an invite-only link asks them to sign in.

Can everyone on a beat receive a split?

Yes. Receiving splits works on every plan, and each person on the beat is paid their share through Stripe when it sells.

Who owns the contacts we bring in?

You do. vvault only uses them to do what you ask, like sending your emails. It's written in vvault's data processing agreement, which applies automatically, with nothing to sign.
