Audio Recon is BeatPass’s 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 scans run for tracks where at least one credited producer has a verified artist profile. This means:
  • The scan is gated on the artist being verified, not the individual user account.
  • For collaborative beats, the scan can run when any one of the credited producers is verified.
  • All linked producers on a matching track are notified — not just the verified one.
If you are credited on a track alongside a verified producer, you can still receive Audio Recon match notifications even if your own profile is not yet verified.

​
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 monthly cycle

Audio Recon scans run automatically on a rolling monthly schedule for eligible tracks.
3

High-similarity matches are stored

BeatPass records matches when streaming data is similar enough to your beat. Only matches above 80% similarity are surfaced.
4

You review the result

BeatPass notifies linked producers and surfaces the match in the Audio Recon section on the track page.

​
Where Matches Appear

When BeatPass finds a match, it appears in the Audio Recon section on the track page. This section is intended for producers credited on the beat, not for listeners.

​
Similarity Scores

BeatPass uses a higher internal similarity threshold (around 95%) to flag potential duplicates, and shows matches at 80% similarity or above to producers. Higher scores are stronger signals, but not proof of use.

​
Notifications

When a new match is found, BeatPass notifies all producers linked to the track through your enabled notification channels:
  • In-app notifications
  • Email notifications
Review your notification settings 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 uses your beat, compare it against your BeatPass licensing history and existing certificates.
4

Escalate only after verification

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

Common Questions

Not at the moment. Audio Recon runs automatically on a monthly cycle.
The track may not be eligible yet, the fingerprint may still be pending, no credited producer is verified, or no qualifying match has been found.
No. Audio Recon is for investigation, not automatic proof of infringement.
You can still receive notifications if a verified co-producer’s track matches. For your own tracks, complete the producer verification flow first.

Get Verified

Audio Recon requires at least one verified producer on the track.
