SCALE
LICENSING
Faster clearances. Cleaner deals. Better economics — for everyone.
InstantClear™ delivers immediate, tailored, and secure commercial music licenses.
How It Works
InstantClear™is the clearance and payments layer on top of Chordal's rights network.
Define license Requirements
InstantClear™ turns your budgets, requested media rights, and music use case into a custom pre-cleared catalog, just for you.
Every track that lands in your workspace is already eligible for instant use under your (or your platform's) terms, with a beautiful experience for your team to navigate.
Publish with Full Legal Coverage
Music only enters your workspace once 100% of both master and publishing rights are fully accounted for across every owner. If a track cannot be fully cleared, you never see it.
Every license generates its own enforceable legal paper trail – no side negotiations, no follow-up emails, no exposure.
One payment. Many rights holders.
InstantClear™ reduces many invoices into one.
Pay 100’s of music owners simultaneously, using a variety of supported payment and billing setups, fit to your needs.

Yes. Enterprise customers and music supervisors frequently bring existing rights relationships onto InstantClear™ so that those deals execute through the same infrastructure. Reach out to discuss custom agreements.
Every InstantClear™ license is a fully executed, signed agreement covering the rights and term you paid for. Rights holders cannot retroactively revoke a license that has already been issued. If a rights holder removes a track from future availability, that is their right — but your existing uses remain covered.
Music supervisors are some of our most active users. Chordal gives supervisors a faster way to expand their clearance services to serve clients' high-volume needs.
Every InstantClear™ license is issued by the rights owners themselves, not by Chordal acting as a sub-licensor. Chordal is the infrastructure; the rights owners are the counterparties. Your license agreement is with them, enforceable directly.
No. Chordal offers popular music with commercial awareness as well as premium boutique catalogs serving niche licensing needs. Think touring artists, genre-defining record labels and music publishers, top-end composers.
