.WAV POOL IS A MUSIC LICENSING SERVICE BUILT FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS AND LABELS WHO WANT TO KEEP THE RIGHTS TO THEIR MUSIC.
WE BRING TOGETHER FORWARD THINKING MUSIC AND VISUAL PROJECTS THAT SPEAK TO CULTURE AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT MUSICIANS WHO ARE INDIVIDUALS AND WE SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO SELF IDENTIFY. EVERYONE SHOULD BE HEARD.
WE FIGHT AGAINST THE INDUSTRY STATUS QUO TO HELP MUSICIANS CREATE VIABLE CAREERS FOR THEMSELVES.
.WAV POOL IS MADE BY ARTISTS FOR ARTISTS.
WE HAVE CREATED A LICENSING AND EXPLORATION PLATFORM THAT IS ADVANCED BEYOND ANYTHING ELSE IN OUR INDUSTRY.
THE MUSIC WE OFFER IS HEAVILY CURATED IN ORDER TO PROMOTE WHAT WE FEEL ARE THE MOST INTERESTING, FORWARD THINKING, AND LICENSABLE TRACKS FROM THE ARTISTS IN THE CATALOG.
WE ARE NOT A PRODUCTION LIBRARY.
WE LICENSE ARTIST'S MUSIC TO PRODUCERS OF ONLINE CONTENT, ADS, FILMS, AND GAMES (WHAT SOME CALL "SYNC").
"SYNC" IS SHORT FOR SYNCHRONIZATION RIGHTS. THE PROBLEM IS, THE PRODUCTIONS NEED MASTER (AND PERFORMANCE) RIGHTS TOO.
WE THINK IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE IF WE COULD OFFER ALL OF THE RIGHTS THAT PRODUCERS NEED.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE A MUSIC LICENSING COMPANY, NOT A SYNC COMPANY OR PUBLISHER.
WE ALSO WANT TO REPLACE THE BASIC "SYNC" SERVICES THAT PUBLISHING COMPANIES PROVIDE. THIS IS ROOTED IN THE IDEA THAT WE CAN HELP THE ARTIST AND LABEL WITH LICENSING WITHOUT OWNING THEIR MUSIC.
IN THE LAST DECADE, VARIOUS NON-EXCLUSIVE COMPANIES HAVE LAUNCHED THAT HELP ARTISTS AND LABELS STAY INDEPENDENT.
WE BELIEVE THAT WE ADD THE FINAL PIECE TO THE NEW INDUSTRY.
DEAL POINTS
THE ARTIST / LABELS GIVE US MUSIC IN ALL GENRES, INSTRUMENTALS A HUGE PLUS, AND STRICTLY NO SAMPLES, ONE SHOT TONE SAMPLES ARE OK.
WE FIND THE ARTISTS / LABELS MUSIC LICENSING OPPORTUNITIES IN BRANDED CONTENT, ADVERTISEMENTS, FILMS, GAMES, ETC.
THE AGREEMENT IS NON-EXCLUSIVE, ARTISTS AND LABELS RETAIN ALL OWNERSHIP OF MUSIC.
ARTISTS AND LABELS MUST OWN 100% OF BOTH THE RECORDING AND WRITTEN MUSIC OR ALL OWNERS MUST SIGN ON TO .WAV POOL SEPARATELY.
.WAV POOL WILL BE GRANTED ADMINISTRATION RIGHTS. THIS ALLOWS US TO LICENSE YOUR MUSIC ON YOUR BEHALF.
WE PREFER "ONE-STOP" PRIVILEGES WHICH ALLOW US TO PROVIDE INSTANT LICENSING TO OUR CLIENTS.

ARTIST / LABEL RETAINS ALL RESIDUAL PUBLISHING ROYALTIES, BUT THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL OR PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES PAID FOR STREAMING DOWNLOADING THROUGH THE SITE.
SHARING OF CLIENTS
IT'S ALSO A GOOD IDEA THAT WE NEGOTIATE DEALS THAT COME TO YOUR SEPARATELY. WE CAN USUALLY LEVERAGE A BETTER FEE FOR YOU SINCE WE KNOW CERTAIN TRICKS OF THE TRADE. IN THESE CASES ANY LICENSES THAT YOU BRING TO US TO NEGOTIATE FROM ANYONE WHO IS NOT CURRENTLY OUR CLIENT WILL HAVE THE FOLLOWING SPLIT:
100% TO YOU AS THE ARTIST FOR THE FIRST LICENSE AND 75% TO YOU FOR ANY FUTURE LICENSES FROM THAT SPECIFIC CLIENT.
