Campaigns, calendar, assets, notes, and outreach tools help you put your next move into practice.
Catalog
AirTrax's music contact directory lets you search by role, filter by status, and track every conversation — from the producer you haven't followed up with to the curator who needs a pitch. All in one place, not scattered across DMs.
Revenue
Access royalty playbooks for sync licensing, streaming income, merch strategy, and brand deals. All structured for independent artists who keep their masters and want to understand exactly how each right generates money.
Rights
AirTrax is designed for artists who refuse 360 deals. Store private asset links, manage release timelines, and run your music business the way you should — keeping 100% of your masters, publishing rights, and income.

Making music in the studio
Explore academy lessons, growth playbooks, monetization ideas, and curated resources, then put what you learn to work with contacts, campaigns, assets, and notes.
Each release gets a full rollout plan — tasks, attached contacts, linked assets, and a record of what happened from strategy to drop. Music release planning the way independent artists actually work.
Save lyrics, ideas and plans in your Notebook, beside the contacts and files for your music. Come back to them when you are ready to work on the song.

Keep a plan for your next release, notes about the people involved, and the files you need to send. Check upcoming dates regularly so nothing gets missed. AirTrax keeps those details together; it does not fund releases or act as your manager.
Software can help you organize records, but it does not decide ownership. Keep signed agreements and permissions for each project, and review the terms of label, distributor, and collaborator arrangements. A tool cannot change an existing contract.
Give each song a clear name and number your versions consistently. Keep unfinished files, mixes awaiting feedback, and approved masters separate. Back up your recording sessions and add the files or links you need to your AirTrax Asset Locker.
AirTrax includes a contact directory organized by music industry role and category. Research fit, verify current contact details, and follow the recipient’s submission instructions. You can keep personal notes, status, and favorites with the contacts you use.
Read the recipient’s current submission instructions, explain why your project fits, include one tested listening link, and make one clear request. AirTrax outreach templates help prepare a message for your email app; they do not send it automatically.
Use the official pitch flow in Spotify for Artists for eligible unreleased music. Spotify’s support guidance says to pitch at least seven days before release. Allow enough distributor lead time for the release to appear in your artist portal. Submission does not guarantee selection.
Choose a specific audience and an action you want them to take. Prepare the release story, listening link, artwork, and a realistic channel plan. Track tasks and outreach in your campaign, then review results from the platforms you used.
No. Audience response depends on the music, context, distribution, and execution. Use tools to organize experiments and compare results, without treating any posting schedule or content format as a guaranteed formula.
Under U.S. copyright guidance, the sound recording and the underlying musical composition are distinct works. Ownership and licensing may differ. Keep records for both and consult the relevant agreements when planning a release.
AirTrax does not collect royalties, calculate contract splits or recoupment, or send payouts. The Label plan lets you record amounts reported by your existing services, import and export CSV files, attach the original statements, and see totals for each currency separately. Keep royalty collection and accounting with the services that handle them.
Consider a manager when you need someone to represent you, bring experience, or handle work you cannot manage alone. Agree on what they will do and review the deal carefully. An app can organize your plans, but it cannot replace someone’s judgment or relationships.
Start with what you need help finishing on your next song or release. Agree on the work, price, deadline, and who gives the final yes before hiring someone. Save those details with their contact notes.
AirTrax is an app for independent rappers, artists, and people starting or running a label together. Find lessons, release ideas, ways to earn, useful resources, and industry contacts. Keep your plans, dates, notes, and files in one place. The Label plan lets you work on releases with your artists and team, and record royalties reported by your existing services.
Find Academy lessons on the music business, production, releases, growing an audience, and your rights. Explore growth ideas in Playbooks, ways to earn in Monetization, and useful services in Resources. You can browse the public pages before signing up.
No legitimate method guarantees algorithmic distribution. Spotify warns against services promising streams or playlist placement for payment. Focus on reaching relevant listeners and reviewing genuine audience response.
Labels can help fund releases, bring experience and contacts, and do work an artist cannot manage alone. Whether a deal helps you depends on its terms and what you need. An app can help you organize; it does not replace everything a good label does.
Use a consistent format with artist, track, mix type, and version, such as Artist_Track_Mix_v03.wav. Confirm sample rate, bit depth, and export requirements with the engineer receiving the files instead of relying on a universal specification.
Cloud storage may be enough if you only need to keep files in folders. AirTrax also keeps the release plan, people involved, approved version, and next task nearby. Keep separate backups of your original music files.
Include a current bio, a few listening links, photos you have permission to use with their credits, the story behind your release, and a way to contact you. Only include achievements and press mentions you can verify. Test the kit on a phone and while signed out.
Lead with the artist, release, date, and a clear story. Add relevant context, an accurate artist quote if available, a listening link, photos and artwork you have permission to share, and contact information. Follow the publication’s submission instructions.
AirTrax is the music management software for independent artists who won't trade their rights for a record deal. Manage your contacts, plan releases, and explore monetization guides — all without a 360 deal, ever.
