Free Audio Engineer
Service Agreement
Stop sending un-tagged high-res masters and crossing your fingers that the client doesn't disappear once the files are in their inbox.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a clause in every contract stating that the transfer of intellectual property and the license to use the audio only occurs upon receipt of final payment in full.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Audio Engineer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent a client from using my mixdown before they have actually paid for it?
Our digital escrow system automatically applies non-destructive audio tags to your reference files, ensuring the client can review the work while the clean, high-resolution master remains locked until their payment is verified.
I'm tired of manually sending files after every payment; is there a way to automate this safely?
Yes, the platform acts as a secure intermediary that holds your final deliverables in escrow and instantly triggers the release of the 'clean' files to your client the moment their payment clears, saving you from chasing invoices.
Will watermarking my audio affect the quality of the final files the client receives?
Not at all. The system generates a watermarked preview for the approval stage, but once the digital escrow transaction is complete, the system automatically delivers your original, bit-perfect source files directly to the client.
