1. General Terms

About Musiversal

Musiversal provides you an innovative and disruptive form of music consulting services, giving you around-the-clock access to award-winning session musicians, vocalists, ensembles, producers, and audio engineers, under an array of different service-based solutions.

Our hand-picked roster of artists means you will be granted access to top-of-the-line know-how and advice in music production, empowering you to connect, collaborate and create in real time, and bring your tracks to life.

The Musiversal business model is based on the provision of music consulting services, giving you around-the-clock access to a roster of hand-picked session musicians, vocalists, ensembles, producers, and audio engineers that will help you to fill in the gaps in your tracks where you’re missing theoretical know-how, the skill set or personal network. We’re simply here to help facilitate you in producing your best music yet, giving you access to a wide range of music consulting services.

All provided services follow the music consulting model described above.

The Musiversal trademark is owned and operated by Musiverse, S.A., a Portuguese company with tax number 514936690, and registered office at Rua Principal, nº 21, Rojão Pequeno, Viseu, Santa Comba Dão, 3440 - 226 Pinheiro de Ázere, Portugal.

General agreement

The general terms are applicable to all services provided by Musiversal, unless noted otherwise.

All services provided by Musiversal and/ or booked at musiversal.com, app.musiversal.com, studio.musiversal.com or unlimited.musiversal.com fall under these terms of Use. Therefore, upon using Musiversal’s services, the client, hereafter also referred to as “you”, ”your”, “user” or “users”, is agreeing with Musiversal's terms of Use described below.

Musiversal has the right to change these terms, without prior notice. When making changes, Musiversal will update these terms on the website, and we will also specify the date of the last update. Every time said changes affect your rights, you will be notified via email.

By using Musiversal’s services, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are not yet 18 years old, you must have the permission of an adult to use Musiversal’s services and his/her agreement to these terms of Use. This adult must be a parent or legal guardian who becomes responsible for your use of Musiversal’s services.

Musiversal “Service Providers” include session musicians, vocalists, ensembles, producers, engineers, editors, transcribers, arrangers, instructors, and other staff.

1.1 Live streaming

Most Musiversal sessions are held over audio and video live streaming. With certain “offline” services, we do not provide live streaming.

1.1.1 Live streaming specifications

We prioritize the audio streaming over the video streaming. Meaning that, due to the nature of the material, video has a bigger delay than audio. The current solution, in the best streaming services available around the world, is to delay the audio to match the video's lag. In our case, to be able to get instant feedback from the composer to our musicians, music producers and maestros, we choose not to delay the audio. Delaying the audio would make it look better, but it would also disrupt the recording with longer pauses between takes, waiting for the streaming to go through.

Musiversal will always prioritize the recording of the music over the live streaming feeds (audio and/ or video), meaning that the video live stream may be halted or interrupted if necessary.

1.1.2 Live streaming recording

Musiversal records most, but not all, of the live streamed sessions.

About the Zoom sessions from Musiversal Studio and Musiversal Unlimited sessions: these recordings include video from the client, the client’s and musician’s voices (if applicable), as well as nonmusical sounds. These recordings do not include audio output from the service provider, which contains the music audio signal.

About the Zoom sessions from Musiversal Orchestral sessions: these recordings include video from the client, audio output from the service provider (which contains the music audio signal), the client’s and musician’s voices (if applicable), as well as nonmusical sounds.

1.1.3 Video broadcast and image sharing

Musiversal reserves the right to:

  1. Video broadcast your session on private and non-searchable URLs, to a limited and controlled number of viewers, previously approved by Musiversal;
  2. Video broadcast your session on public URLs;
  3. Share videos and still images of your sessions on public URLs.

Data subject rights shall be strictly observed, per the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the Parliament and the Council of 27 April 2016) and Law no. 58/2019, which ensures the implementation of said Regulation in Portugal.

You may opt out of all or some of this, by giving us notice over email, without prejudice to the other clauses in this agreement.

1.2 Transfer of rights within the music consulting services

By using Musiversal to produce your music, you declare that you hold all the necessary rights and licenses to authorize the performance and recording of the music.

The Musiversal business model is based on the provision of music consulting services described above. In the context of the provision of our services, we may be transferring the ownership over sound recording rights. Sound recording rights are defined under the terms of the Portuguese Copyright and Related Rights Code, enacted by Decree-Law 63/85, of 14 March. These rights are originally owned by Musiverse, S.A., who partially transfers them to the client as a result of our music consulting services.

The following economic rights are transferred to you, on a worldwide basis:

  1. The right to reproduce the recording, directly or indirectly, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, by any means and in any form;
  2. The right to distribute copies of the recording to the public;
  3. The right to make the recording available to the public, by wire or wireless means, in such a way as to make it accessible to any person from the place and at the time chosen by him/her;
  4. The right to communicate the recording to a public, absent or present at the place where the communication originates;
  5. The right to copy, alter and/ or edit the recording.

The abovementioned transfer of the sound recording rights occurs once our music consulting service is concluded, and you receive the files and a signed copy of these terms or any other document held by Musiversal as relevant.

In the event that there has been an unnoticed breach of these terms, the user shall not be entitled to use the audio file, or collection of audio files, that resulted from the provision of Musiversal services, for any of the economic rights outlined in this clause.

1.3 Commercial audio usage

You have permission to use the recordings delivered by Musiversal for commercial purposes without paying additional fees or royalties under these terms and limited to clause 1.2 Transfer of rights within the music consulting services.

1.4 Rights clearance

1.4.1 Rights waiver

Musiversal and Musiversal’s musicians waive all rights in favor of the user for any audio files resulting from any Musiversal recording sessions. Musiversal declares that it is fully entitled to waive the rights as it was allowed by the musicians in a written and signed contract to do so without any limitations, universally and perpetually.

If you need a custom full buyout rights waiver, reach out to us at support@musiversal.com. In this email, state the name of the piece of work in question, and the names of the Musiversal musicians with whom you recorded said piece of work.

1.4.2 Syncing audio with images

The recordings delivered by Musiversal are cleared for syncing with images perpetually and worldwide without need to pay Musiversal any additional fees.

The only exception to the paragraph above are UK based Orchestral (ensembles) recording sessions, as exclusively described in section 3. Musiversal Orchestras. If you wish to use the music you recorded in UK based Orchestral (ensembles) recording sessions for image-syncing please get in touch with us at support@musiversal.com.

Musiversal’s service providers are required to maintain professionalism and working politeness during sessions. In the extremely unlikely event that this doesn’t happen, we ask you to keep your cool and not reply or engage in any confrontation with the service provider, but rather report such an event to support@musiversal.com.

1.12.2 Attending Sessions While Driving

At Musiversal, the safety of our clients is of utmost importance. We strongly discourage and advise against attending any sessions or interacting with our platform while driving. Distractions can be dangerous and fatal, and it is essential to prioritize safety over any other activity.

3. Musiversal Orchestras

Musiversal Orchestras follows the music consulting model described above, despite the specificities described below.

Applicable to services provided by the Musiversal Orchestral product, including, but not limited to, recording sessions with orchestral ensembles, pre-production and post-production services, delivered by Musiversal service providers.

3.1 Orchestra bookings

Musiversal will provide you with a payment option, through which your payment will constitute the “booking”.

Upon booking, you agree with these terms, and with the service specifications presented on the website, over email or call, which may not be subject to change after a booking has been placed. Different, new or revised service specifications that are not included in the booked agreement may incur in additional costs.

3.1.1 Booking date and time

Session dates and times may be changed without prior notice. In such an event, all music is to be recorded at the next available session, and you will be notified at the earliest convenience.

3.1.2 ​Planned sessions

If a session does not reach a minimum of 50% booking capacity, Musiversal reserves the right to postpone it until demand is sufficient to book a new session.

3.1.3 Validity

All bookings have 6 months validity, starting from the date of purchase. If you are not able to schedule your session or service within 6 months after purchase, your booking will be changed from a product-specific booking into a non-refundable money voucher with value of the original booking that is eligible to use for any available Musiversal product, not stackable with any promotional discounts available.

Bookings may have a longer validity, when explicitly announced in their respective marketing campaigns.

If you don't apply your voucher to a service within 24 months from the purchase date, you'll lose access to both the unused money funds and any services that could have been utilized with the voucher.

3.1.4 Booking postponing

After making a booking, you can request Musiversal to postpone your session to a later time at no additional cost if the recording session date hasn't been announced by Musiversal via email, or if your postponing request arrives via email up to 30 days in advance of the session date. The same applies if Musiversal, for any relevant reason, inter alia, specified above under clause 3.1.2 ​Planned sessions, postpones the relevant session.

If you wish to postpone your session to a later date by notifying Musiversal with less than 30 days in advance of the session date, a rescheduling cost equivalent to 50% of the amount of the session cost applies. This is not applicable to sessions of the Musiversal string quartet.

3.1.5 Recording ratios and times

We will communicate with you on the most appropriate recording time to match the length and complexity of your music.

Based on historical averages, we’ve established the guideline below to express the typical relationship between the length of your piece of music and recording time required:

CNSO 30-piece orchestra

To record up to 1 minute of music, book a 12-minute session.

To record up to 2 minutes of music, book a 24-minute session.

To record up to 3 minutes of music, book a 35-minute session.

To record up to 4 minutes of music, book a 45-minute session.

To record up to 5 minutes of music, book a 53-minute session.

To record up to 6 minutes of music, book a 1-hour session.

CNSO 22 strings

To record up to 1 minute of music, book a 8-minute session.

To record up to 2 minutes of music, book a 16-minute session.

To record up to 3 minutes of music, book a 24-minute session.

To record up to 4 minutes of music, book a 32-minute session.

To record up to 5 minutes of music, book a 39-minute session.

To record up to 6 minutes of music, book a 46-minute session.

To record up to 7 minutes of music, book a 53-minute session.

To record up to 8 minutes of music, book a 1-hour session.

Brookspeare Music

To record up to 5 minutes of music, book a 1-hour session.

BSO 55-piece orchestra

To record up to 1 minutes of music, book a 12-minute session.

To record up to 2 minutes of music, book a 24-minute session.

To record up to 3 minutes of music, book a 35-minute session.

To record up to 4 minutes of music, book a 45-minute session.

To record up to 5 minutes of music, book a 53-minute session.

To record up to 6 minutes of music, book a 1-hour session.

These time settings are not linear. They are subject to change depending on the difficulty of each piece. If we find that your piece requires more recording time due to hard passages, or if you have not booked enough session time, we will hold your recording until enough recording time is booked.

Email us at hello@musiversal.com, and we will advise you on the most adequate recording time.

3.2 Scores specifications

3.2.1 Scores submissions

For orchestras - scores must be submitted with up to 7 calendar days before recording session date. When failing to submit scores in time, Musiversal may consider your submission with 1 day of delay. 

For string quartet - scores must be submitted with up to 72 hours before recording session date.

Failing to submit your scores within this time range may result in your booking being lost without the possibility of a refund.

3.2.2 Scores review

For orchestras only (not considering string quartet), Musiversal requests you to submit the scores and other necessary materials at least 7 calendar days before the recording date in order to give our Orchestra Producer time to proofread all the materials that we will record. If any issues come up during the review process, we will have time to contact you to make any necessary changes.

Note that if your orchestration is not well written, it may affect the recording outcome, and Musiversal shall not be responsible for it.

3.3 Recording sessions specifications

3.3.1 Physical attendance

Each recording session shorter than 1 hour can only be attended remotely.

For orchestral recording session bookings longer than 1 hour, Musiversal accepts and welcomes your physical attendance in the recording session. Our partners will welcome you into the recording studio, where you can speak to the producer, engineer, conductor and the musicians, keeping in mind the focus of the session, which is to deliver a high-quality recording. 

This is not applicable to string quartet sessions.

3.3.2 Overdubbing

You can record overdubs in all of our recording sessions. The cost of recording overdubs is calculated according to the whole session fee for that day, and not your individual session fee.

3.3.3 Session time

It is not always the case that the allocated session length perfectly matches the time required to record your song. Therefore, the following is to be considered:

  1. If a completely satisfactory result is achieved before the total time has elapsed, Musiversal reserves the right to conclude the client’s session;
  2. If the time booked by the client, as per Musiversal’s recommendation, is elapsed during the recording session before the music has been fully recorded with a completely satisfactory result, Musiversal guarantees that it will either extend the client’s recording session for the necessary time required to achieve a completely satisfactory result, or, if that is impossible on the day due to logistics, Musiversal will record the missing music on the soonest available date. If the client is digitally present at the live streaming, Musiversal’s producer will ask the client which option is preferred, if both are possible. If the client is not digitally present in the live streaming, Musiversal will decide on which option to execute;
  3. Depending on availability and logistics of the session, extending the recording time beyond the time that was initially booked may be possible, and will cost $30 per minute, which will be billed to the client before the delivery of the recording session files;
  4. If the client booked a recording session length according to Musiversal’s recommendation, and it was deemed unnecessarily long during the recording session, then the client can choose to request a refund of a monetary amount corresponding to the session time that was not used, which is counted of by the Executive Producer, or to use the remaining time in a future session within 6 months. It’s understood that “unnecessary long” time is all the time that exceeds 8 minutes after all the music that was intended to be recorded within the session has been completed, and a satisfactory result has been achieved - which is agreed by both the client and Musiversal.

3.4 Files handling

After the recording session, we send the Pro Tools session and take sheet to your email. Stems delivery is available at cost.

In normal circumstances, this will be completed within 24 hours for orchestras, and 48 hours for string quartet.

Unexpected technical errors and human errors may prevent this from happening. Musiversal is committed to solving any files-handling technical errors.

Musiversal holds recorded files for up to 1 month, after which Musiversal does not guarantee accessibility to them anymore.

3.4.1 Service completion

Musiversal considers the service completed 30 days after delivering your session files to you.

You may request technical examination of the files up to 30 days after the files have been delivered to you. After technical examination, if we realize that there is an actual issue with your files, we will re-record said passage without additional costs. If, after technical examination, no issues have been detected, Musiversal will consider the service completed.

3.5 Cancellations and refund policy

You may be eligible for a refund according to the conditions described below.

On purchases for orchestras (excluding the string quartet) done under TBD date agreements (E.g.: March TBD), we offer a full refund for requests up to 14 calendar days after purchase.

Musiversal will also offer you a full refund if you request it up to 30 calendar days before the session date.

If your orchestration writing is considered idiomatic by our team, we guarantee a partial or full refund whenever the outcome of an orchestral recording session does not meet the quality standards as defined by the event of at least one of the following criteria:

  1. Failure to record one or more orchestral parts. The acceptable amount of parts is limited to one per instrument group. E.g.: Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, etc;
  2. The musicians couldn't fix a problem which didn’t come from the sheet music/ scoring;
  3. There are distortions on a wav file of a tracked instrument;
  4. Our technical and executive teams consider that the recording was not a successful one.

Musiversal may refuse to complete your recording session booking if, after all technical considerations are made, we conclude that our quality standards won’t possibly be met for your recording. In such an event, your booking(s) and some or all of its associated extra service(s) will be fully refunded.

5. Musiversal Unlimited

Musiversal Unlimited follows the music consulting model described above, despite the specificities described below.

Applicable to services provided by the Musiversal Unlimited product, including, but not limited to, recording sessions, pre-production and post-production services, delivered by Musiversal service providers.

5.1 Musiversal Unlimited subscription

Musiversal Unlimited subscription is a service that allows users to make payments in exchange for the provision of music consulting services that materialize in music production services using remote communication including live video and audio technologies, including, but not limited to, providing the user with an audio file or collection of audio files as the result of each session that is booked and executed.

Upon subscribing to a Musiversal Unlimited subscription plan you agree to enroll in an automatically renewable and recurring payment plan, which amount depends on the pricing tier (plan) you chose to subscribe, and its renewal cycle type (monthly, yearly or other).

In the case of a PayPal based monthly subscription, the recurring payment will take place every 30 calendar days.

5.2 Management of your sessions

5.2.1 Booking window

Sessions are available to book up to 60 days in advance. Musiversal may change the booking window at any time without notice.

5.2.2 Active sessions

An active session is defined as a booked session which is set to happen in the future.

Booking speed and hold may vary subject to supply availability and customer demand.

5.2.3 Information about your track and upload of materials

Depending on its nature, each session will have specific requirements presented to you during the booking process. Namely, how much time in advance you should upload your materials, as well as other technical and/or musical information.

Failing to adhere to the session requirements may result in session time being spent with downloads, building DAW projects, printing scores, and other tasks that not recording or producing music.

In case of a non-attended session (client not showing up), the musician will carry out the recording in the client’s absence. If the musician is unable to conduct the session during your absence, due to insufficient materials or instructions, then you will not be entitled to receive files for the session.

5.2.4 Files handling

Depending on which option you select in the booking process, you’ll receive either the DAW session, or stems of every recorded take (in WAV or AIFF format, whichever you prefer).

In normal circumstances, you'll receive all of your files no later than 24 hours after your session.

Unexpected technical errors and human errors may prevent this from happening. Musiversal is committed to solving any files-handling technical errors.

If your subscription stops (meaning that it gets cancelled), you will lose access to your files in the platform.

Musiversal does not guarantee access to recorded files older than 1 month, and of cancelled subscriptions.

5.2.5 Re-scheduling of remote session

In the event that Musiversal reschedules your session, you’ll be informed via email as soon as it is rescheduled, with further information about the rescheduling, namely to which date and hour (if applicable) is the session rescheduled to.

4.4.6 Cancellation of remote session

You can cancel any of your upcoming sessions.

Musiversal reserves the right of cancelling a session without previous notice, if one of the following events occur:

  1. Your submitted materials lie outside the scope of what recording sessions are stated to be within the definitions of our terms of Use, namely regarding unfair/ misusage and prohibited practices, as outlined in clauses 1.13 and 5.2.7;
  2. Your pre-session materials are unworkable and therefore require significant improvement, for example by a producer;
  3. Other logistical reasons.

5.2.7 Prohibited practices

Please refer to this article to learn how Musiversal sessions work, and this article for what can be achieved in a single session.

These are practices which are not allowed in the Musiversal Unlimited sessions:

  1. Record lyrics containing any segregation, discrimination, exclusion or oppressive content, such as but not limited to stereotyping, racist, sexist, xenophobic or hostile words;
  2. Record classical or contemporary music from historically or highly acclaimed composers;
  3. Record sounds (notes, effects or passages) for which the purpose is to produce virtual instruments and/ or sample libraries. A distinction on library production, namely between sample libraries and music libraries: recording to create the former is not allowed (sample library). Recording to create the latter is allowed (music library);
  4. Having Musiversal’s service providers co-composing, co-authoring or co-writing material that is subject to copyright, namely lyrics and main melodic themes. This does not include an improvised melody over a harmonic progression, such as a saxophone solo, for example;
  5. Record multiple instruments or multiple parts (or overdubs) in a single session. Common sense and flexibility are to be considered on a case-by-case scenario and some of these may be achieved, though it is not the default of how sessions work;
  6. Record more than 1 song/ piece in a single session. Except for cues, which the sum of all of them should not be bigger than 3 minutes in total;
  7. Request the musician to create arrangements (such as string quartet or Horns Trio) during the session. For such service, the user should use our arrangement service. More information here;
  8. Record highly complex pieces that would be hard to sight-read and require the musician to study for hours.

You may request a Musiversal Custom Session to complete any work that falls under items b, c, d, e, f, g and h. See this article for more information.

Upon subscribing to a Musiversal Studio subscription, you agree to enroll in an automatically renewable and recurring payment plan, which amount depends on the pricing tier (plan) you chose to subscribe, and its renewal cycle type (monthly, yearly or other).

Every payment will be translated into credits, as defined in clause 4.2 Credits.

In the case of a PayPal based monthly plans, the recurring payment will take place every 30 calendar days.

If a plan has been initiated based on an installment payment method other than monthly or yearly, the availability of the credits in the user account may be subject to each payment confirmation.

4.1.2 On-demand

The on-demand “Pay as you go” modality gives you access to the Studio by purchasing standalone or packs of credits, as defined in clause 4.2 Credits.

4.2 Credits

The use of credits is of your sole and exclusive responsibility. Musiversal shall not be responsible for how you use your credits allowance, or any other circumstances falling outside the specifications presented in these terms.

4.2.1 Definition

  1. A “credit” is the unit of value inside the Musiversal Studio;
  2. Each Musiversal Studio service corresponds to a single “credit” unit or multiple “credits” units;
  3. Any credits pertaining to a trial period, referral campaigns, promotional coupons or rolled over, are added to your credits count;
  4. Credits can be used to book up to 30 slots at any given time;
  5. In the event of no active subscription, all credits are permanently lost.

4.2.2 Credit rollover feature

  1. This feature is available for subscribers of most plans. The plans which do not include the rollover feature are Studio 2 (or equivalent) and legacy yearly plans (bought before July 1, 2022);
  2. Credits rollover into your credits count if unused by the end of the billing cycle, according to the clause immediately above;
  3. Unused credits (not used for booking sessions) on plans without the rollover feature, will not roll over by the moment of a new payment, and will be lost;
  4. Rollover ability: the rollover of credits will occur when a new billing cycle starts, and the count of 6X the plan allowance has not yet been rolled over;
  5. The credits rollover feature is available from January 5, 2022 onwards. Payments of Musiversal Studio plans performed before this date are not eligible for the credits' rollover feature;
  6. Musiversal has the right to remove access to this feature at any time.

4.2.3 Top-ups

  1. Top-ups are standalone purchase of unit(s) of credit(s);
  2. Credits purchased as top-ups are stored in your account and follow the same rules as defined in clause 4.2.1 Definition and 4.2.2 Credit rollover feature.

4.2.4 Acquisition of services

Credits may be used to acquire other services such as, but not limited to, Musiversal Orchestras. In such event, Musiversal will deduct from your account the number of credits correspondent to the service acquired.

Orchestra shared sessions may be booked with credits on certain subscriptions. The number of credits necessary to book such sessions is fixed at the start of the subscription, and may be updated once all the account’s credits have been used.

4.3 Free Trial

Your Musiversal Studio subscription may include a standard or a custom Free Trial period.

4.3.1 Standard Free Trial

The standard Free Trial is 14 days in duration and includes 1 free credit, to be used for booking a session.

Upfront payment is not required to enter the Free Trial. However, payment details are required upfront. At the end of the 14 days, Musiversal will automatically charge your payment card and enroll you into your chosen plan, constituting your first billing date. Upon payment, you will get immediate access to your plan’s session allowance. The charge will be equivalent to the amount shown during the sign-up process, corresponding to the cost of your chosen plan and considering any discounts applied due to coupon codes.

The Free Trial period includes 1 free credit. This credit is an offer from Musiversal to you, and it’s separate from your plan allowance. I.e.: if you book this session within your trial period, you will still get access to all sessions of your chosen plan allowance upon your first billing date.

This free credit has a booking validity of 14 days (i.e.: it is available for you to book a session within the 14 days of the Free Trial period). After which period, if not booked, will be lost, and not possible to redeem.

You may prefer not to wait a full 14 days until you have access to your full plan allowance. In this case, you can enroll early by going into your billing area and start your plan. If you decide to enroll into a plan before your Free Trial period ends, you will get immediate access to that plan’s session allowance, and you will be charged at that moment (rather than being charged at the end of the Free Trial period). If you are enrolled using a PayPal payment method, the system will require a few hours to process your payment and provide you with your plan’s session allowance.

If during the Free Trial you didn’t use your free credit, and you enroll early/ before your expected Free Trial end date, then that free credit will roll over, so that your allowance will be your plan allowance + 1 session.

4.3.2 Custom Free Trial

A custom Free Trial period may be granted to you by Musiversal, different from the standard Free Trial. Its specifications are as presented by Musiversal, via email.

4.3.3 Free Trial cancellation

To cancel your Free Trial, you must contact support before your trial ends, via email at support@musiversal.com, to properly guarantee the cancellation of your trial.

In the unlikely event that your cancellation has not been processed by the end of the Free Trial period, and your card is charged, you will be entitled to a refund. For more details, read our Refund Policy in clause 3.12.

4.4 Management of your sessions

4.4.1 Information about your track and upload of materials

Depending on its nature, each session will have specific requirements presented to you during the booking process. Namely, how much time in advance you should upload your materials, as well as other technical and/or musical information.

Failing to adhere to the session requirements may result in session time being spent with downloads, building DAW projects, printing scores, and other tasks that not recording or producing your music.

In case of a non-attended session (client not showing up), the musician will carry out the recording in the client’s absence. If the musician is unable to conduct the session during your absence, due to insufficient materials or instructions, then you will not be entitled to receive files and will not be re-credited for the session.

4.4.2 Files handling

Depending on which option you select in the booking process, you’ll receive either the DAW session, or stems of every recorded take (in WAV or AIFF format, whichever you prefer).

In normal circumstances, you'll receive all of your files no later than 24 hours after your session.

Unexpected technical errors and human errors may prevent this from happening. Musiversal is committed to solving any files-handling technical errors.

Musiversal holds recorded files for up to 1 month, after which Musiversal does not guarantee accessibility to them anymore. If your subscription stops (meaning that it gets cancelled), you will lose access to your files in the platform.

Musiversal does not guarantee access to recorded files older than 1 month, and of cancelled subscriptions.

4.4.3 Re-scheduling of remote session

In the event that Musiversal reschedules your Studio session, you’ll be informed via email as soon as it is rescheduled, with further information about the rescheduling, namely to which date and hour (if applicable) is the session rescheduled to.

If you need to reschedule an orchestra shared session, and in case your request arrives with less than 8 calendar days, the rescheduling cost will be 50% of the credits used for the booking. In cases where 50% of the credits result in a decimal number, the cost is rounded up to the next natural number.

4.4.4 Cancellation of remote session

The following does not apply to orchestra shared sessions when booked with credits.

All bookings come with a 1-hour grace period. If you cancel a session less than 1 hour after booking, you will be re-credited.

When you cancel an upcoming session up to 48 hours before its starting time, it will be re-credited to your account automatically.

When you cancel an upcoming session with less than 48 hours to its starting time, it will not be re-credited to your account.

If your session is cancelled by Musiversal, your credit(s) may be re-credited to your account. Musiversal reserves the right of cancelling a session without previous notice, if one of the following events occur:

  1. Your submitted materials lie outside the scope of what recording sessions are stated to be within the definitions of our terms of use, namely regarding unfair/ misusage and prohibited practices, as outlined in clauses 1.13 and 4.4.5;
  2. Your pre-session materials are unworkable and therefore require significant improvement, for example by a producer;
  3. Other logistical reasons.

4.4.5 Prohibited practices

Please refer to this article to learn how Musiversal sessions work, and this article for what can be achieved in a single session.

These are practices which are not allowed in the Musiversal Studio sessions.

  1. Record lyrics containing any segregation, discrimination, exclusion or oppressive content, such as but not limited to stereotyping, racist, sexist, xenophobic or hostile words;
  2. Record classical or contemporary music from historically or highly acclaimed composers;
  3. Record sounds (notes, effects or passages) for which the purpose is to produce virtual instruments and/ or sample libraries. A distinction on library production, namely between sample libraries and music libraries: recording to create the former is not allowed (sample library). Recording to create the latter is allowed (music library);
  4. Having Musiversal’s service providers co-composing, co-authoring or co-writing material that is subject to copyright, namely lyrics and main melodic themes. This does not include an improvised melody over a harmonic progression, such as a saxophone solo, for example;
  5. Record multiple instruments or multiple parts (or overdubs) in a single session. Common sense and flexibility are to be considered on a case-by-case scenario and some of these may be achieved, though it is not the default of how sessions work;
  6. Record more than 1 song/ piece in a single session. Except for cues, which the sum of all of them should not be bigger than 3 minutes in total;
  7. Request the musician to create arrangements (such as string quartet or Horns Trio) during the session. For such service, the user should use our arrangement service. More information here;
  8. Record highly complex pieces that would be hard to sight-read and require the musician to study for hours.

You may request a Musiversal Custom Session to complete any work that falls under items b, c, d, e, f, g and h. See this article for more information.
