Kevin MacLeod not only has 232,000 YouTube followers, but is also the biggest music contributor on Filmmusic.io.

Challenge

Clean tagging and constant improvement of search filters are key to delivering music and finding it easy on the platform. The steady growth of the catalog makes tagging more and more difficult, while new features like bpm or key are requested by the active Filmmusic.io community.

Solution: Automatic metadata via API integration

Filmmusic.io implemented Cyanite’s music intelligence to automate song tagging especially in the fields of bpm, moods, and key. Next, a Similarity Search will be implemented in a new major update, allowing Filmmusic.io users to search the platform by reference tracks. The technology is seamlessly integrated via the Cyanite API, which means that every new song on Filmmusic.io is automatically tagged and added to the Similarity Search.

 

The new bpm search filter on Filmmusic.io is based on Cyanite’s algorithm.

Results

+ 15% increase in session time

 

+ 35% increase in filter options

 

+ 70% time-saving in the tagging process

Challenge

Neubau Music’s business is growing rapidly making it increasingly difficult for the company to efficiently manage its music catalog and grow revenue in line with the growth of catalog size. 

Not only NEUBAU Music but many other music publishers are facing problems with their now digitized catalogues.

Solution

Neubau used our catalog management platform to automatically and consistently tag their entire catalog and establish acoustic similarities between tracks in their over 5,000 song catalog. No training or coding was required, and all Neubau staff can quickly and easily access their catalog for licensing purposes.
