Listening Space

The Artist Promise

What we promise every artist we host — enforced by the software, not by policy.

Your model exists only with your consent

No valid model card — your name, your consent statement, the exact catalogue — no model.

How it is enforced
  • The gate is code.
  • Every refusal is listed openly on the Artists page.

Your model is your property

One file beside its card — portable anywhere ACE-Step runs, deletable by removing the folder.

What that means
  • Deleted is gone.
  • No hidden copy, no cloud residue.
  • Nothing is locked to us.

Your consent is scoped, and revocable

Consent is structured, snapshotted into the card and enforced in code — withdraw it and the adapter is deleted.

The scope, and what withdrawal keeps
  • The scope names who consented, and in what capacity.
  • It says whether the model may train.
  • It says who may generate.
  • It says whether outputs may be used commercially.
  • No recorded scope reads the conservative way: operator-only.
  • Code enforces the scope wherever this server listens beyond this machine.
  • Withdraw consent and the adapter is deleted.
  • Your space comes down — deletion is the whole procedure.
  • Outputs made while consent stood keep their provenance records.
  • Those records attribute honestly to the period permission existed.
  • That protects you: the record shows what was made, when, and with whose agreement.

Your ownership is recorded track by track

Each training track can carry a rights record — writers, publishers, masters ℗, performers, ISRC and ISWC.

What a record must say
  • Writers and publishers carry their composition shares.
  • Shares must sum to 100, or the record is refused.
  • Absence is explicit — never a blank.
  • “No code assigned” and “not yet looked up” are different facts.

Every output can carry an estimate of what it owes

A piece can carry an attribution estimate of what it owes each training track — and it says it is an estimate.

How the estimate travels
  • Writer, publisher and master splits follow how much each track plausibly accounts for the piece.
  • The method travels with the estimate: estimator version, embedding model, caveats.
  • An estimate without its methodology is a rumour with decimals.
  • Unknown ownership is reported as unattributed, never redistributed.

Every output is attributed and verifiable

Every piece carries a validated provenance record and an inaudible watermark — ask Verify a file where it came from.

What the record holds
  • Artist, adapter version and hash, prompt, timestamp.
  • Held in the file's metadata and beside it.
  • The watermark is error-corrected.
  • Anyone holding audio can ask whether it came from here.
  • The answer names whose space it came from.

No metering, no caps, no expiry

No credits, no download limits, no expiry — your model serves until you say otherwise.

In full
  • Nothing a listener makes is held hostage to a subscription.
  • No model is deprecated out from under the people who love it.

What we will not build

No cloning without consent, no training on catalogues we were not given, no synthetic personas in a real person's sound.

Why
  • The consent gate is not a feature of this platform.
  • It is the platform.
