Contract advocate for music producers & DJs
AI contract analysis, counter-proposals, and licensed attorney access for music producers.
A beat lease lands in your inbox or a buyer sends their contract — Clause reads it in 15 seconds. You see exactly what they're asking for: exclusivity scope, distribution limits, streaming caps, derivative work rights, master ownership. Everything color-coded. Red items come with counter-language you can send directly.
Producer agreements bury the terms that matter most: who owns the masters, what percentage of publishing you keep, whether your points are on net or gross, and what happens to beats you make during the contract term. Clause breaks it all down clause-by-clause — with benchmarks for your tier.
The #1 producer dispute is splits that were never written down. Clause generates split sheets from a session in 30 seconds — producer, songwriter, topliner, engineer. Everyone's percentage, PRO affiliation, and publishing share documented before the track leaves the studio. No more "I thought we agreed" conversations six months later.
A sync placement in a show, ad, or game feels like a win — until you realize the license was perpetual, worldwide, and all-media for a one-time flat fee. Clause reads every sync license in 15 seconds: territory, duration, media type, exclusivity, and whether the fee matches the scope. You see the real value before you sign.
Producer deals are full of buried deadlines — option pickup dates, recoupment milestones, sync license expirations, beat lease renewals, royalty audit windows. Clause extracts them all automatically and builds your calendar. Get alerts before deadlines hit so you never miss a payment, never let a lease auto-renew against you, and never lose an option window.
Most producer deals don't need a lawyer. But when a label pushes back on master ownership, a sync placement crosses into six figures, or a sample clearance turns hostile — you need one fast. Clause detects high-stakes triggers in your contracts and routes them directly to licensed entertainment attorneys who specialize in music IP. No searching, no cold calls. One click from your analysis to a matched attorney. You get real legal backup in hours, not weeks.
My producer agreement had a clause giving the label rights to all future beats made during the contract term. Not just the album — everything I made while signed. Clause flagged it before I even finished reading page one.
I was selling exclusive beats for $300 with no royalty share, no stream cap, and a full master buyout buried in the fine print. Clause showed me I was giving away $15K+ in value on every sale.
A sync placement came through for a streaming series — looked great until Clause showed me the license was perpetual, worldwide, all-media for $1,500. The benchmark for that scope was $8K+. I renegotiated and got $6,500.
We run 12 rooms and every session generates split sheet disputes months later. Now we run every agreement through Clause before anyone leaves the studio. Zero disputes since we started.
Beat leases, producer agreements, split sheets, sync placements — Clause reads the contracts that define your career and makes sure you keep what you've earned.
Beat leases, exclusive buyouts, licensing terms. Know what you're giving away before you hit send on that contract.
Producer agreements, publishing splits, co-writing deals. Protect your publishing share and your points before the track ships.
Session contracts, points agreements, work-for-hire terms. Make sure your backend deal is real and your credits are locked in.
Remix agreements, sample clearances, booking contracts. Keep your originals yours and your remixes properly licensed.
Session agreements, studio rental terms, equipment liability. Protect your space, your gear, and your business.

A beat lease, producer agreement, sync license, or split sheet arrives — by email, DM, or DocuSign. Upload any PDF, DOCX, or screenshot. Clause reads it clause-by-clause in about 15 seconds.
Every clause color-coded: green for fair, yellow for review, red for overreach. Master ownership, publishing splits, royalty points, exclusivity — all in plain English with benchmarks for producers at your level.
For anything flagged red, Clause drafts counter-proposals — professional, direct, respectful. Three options per issue so the conversation stays collaborative. You review, adjust, and send.
Everyone else leaves you to figure it out alone. We have your back.
