The industry is building detectors that score AI music’s influences and route royalties accordingly. I built one too. Mine is honest about its methodology, which is the difference. It analyzes your audio for real, then apportions the influence by album sales, because once you look closely, that is what the real ones amount to. Drop a track below, then read why the receipts mean nothing.
/ Upload a track. The Terminal analyzes the audio, assigns it an influence cohort, and apportions attribution among the cohort’s artists by their certified album sales, because that is how the real ones apportion it too. Royalties route to the Total Music Creators Index™. Yours rounds to zero.
Here is what just happened. The signal analysis was real, the waveform was yours, and every frame of that spectrum sweep was an honest Fourier transform. The attribution was theater with transparent staging: your audio picked a cohort, and certified album sales picked the percentages. A score built that way tells you nothing about whether a track copies protectable expression from a prior work, and that question decides lawsuits. It is the question no detector asks. The question that actually matters gets answered before you release, by a pre-release originality opinion. That one starts at $550 and comes with a musicologist.
A music clearance is a written, signed opinion from a qualified forensic musicologist on whether a work is too close to an existing work to release safely.
