Basics

Getting started

Sonifide is release-protection software for independent music. The wedge: the mistake happens before the song makes money — unsigned splits, missing publisher, wrong metadata, no registration. Distribution tools handle the upload; Sonifide protects the business side first.

Sign up

Visit /register, pick a name + email + password, and accept the Terms. You land in your fresh workspace on the Demo tier — free, no credit card.

The 4-step onboarding

After registration we walk you through a 4-step wizard. Each step is skippable — you can come back any time from the dashboard banner.

  1. Artist profile — legal name, stage name, PRO affiliation (BMI / ASCAP / SESAC), IPI if you have one
  2. First release — title, type (single / EP / album), estimated release date
  3. First track — just the title for now (ISRC + credits + splits unlock once a track exists)
  4. Done — links into the modules you'll use next
