Audio Recon is BeatPass’s verified-producer feature for spotting songs that sound similar to your beats on supported streaming platforms.
Audio Recon detects similarity, not confirmed placements. A match may come from shared royalty-free samples, similar sound design, or coincidence. Always verify by listening before assuming your beat was used.

​
Who Can Use Audio Recon

Audio Recon is currently limited to:
  • Verified producer profiles
  • BeatPass-hosted tracks
  • Tracks with a completed audio fingerprint
For collaborative beats, the scan can run when at least one credited producer on the track is verified. BeatPass can still notify the other linked producers about matches on that track.

​
How It Works

1

Your beat is fingerprinted

BeatPass fingerprints the track when it is uploaded or when the audio file is replaced.
2

BeatPass scans on a rolling schedule

Audio Recon scans run automatically for verified producers on a rolling cycle. The current system targets monthly rescans rather than a daily guarantee.
3

High-similarity matches are stored

BeatPass records possible matches when supported streaming data is similar enough to your beat.
4

You review the result

BeatPass can notify you and surface the match on the track so you can investigate it.

​
Where Matches Appear

When BeatPass finds a match, the current product can show it inside the Audio Recon section on the track page. That section is intended for producers credited on the beat, not for listeners.

​
Similarity Scores

BeatPass treats higher similarity scores as stronger signals, but not as proof of use. The current email copy for Audio Recon explains that:
  • Scans run monthly for verified producer profiles
  • Only matches above 80% similarity are shown
That makes Audio Recon useful for investigation, not for automatic enforcement.

​
Notifications

When a new match is found, BeatPass can notify you through your enabled notification channels, such as:
  • In-app notifications
  • Email notifications
Review your notification settings if you want to control how those alerts reach you.

​
How to Review a Match

1

Listen to both recordings

Compare the matched song against your beat closely.
2

Rule out common false positives

Shared sample packs, similar drum kits, and common sound design can all create high similarity.
3

Check BeatPass licensing context

If the song really uses your beat, compare it against your BeatPass licensing history and existing certificates.
4

Escalate only after verification

If you still believe the use is unauthorized, contact BeatPass support with the match details.

​
Covered Platforms

The current Audio Recon messaging references:
  • Spotify
  • YouTube
  • Deezer
Do not promise additional platforms unless the product explicitly adds and documents them.

​
Common Questions

Not at the moment. Audio Recon is currently scheduled automatically.
The track may not be eligible yet, the fingerprint may still be pending, the producer may not be verified, or no qualifying match has been found.
No. Audio Recon is a lead-generation tool for investigation, not automatic proof of infringement.
Complete the producer verification flow first. Audio Recon is currently a verified-producer feature.

Get Verified

Audio Recon currently requires a verified producer profile.

License Certificates

Use certificate records when you verify whether a suspected use was licensed.
