Two marks. Both currently free. Pick the one that matches what you want verified about your recording.
Verifies that your recording was produced without generative AI. Best for releases where AI-generated content is the only thing you need to rule out.
Verifies that your recording was produced without grid correction, pitch correction, or generative AI. Best for releases where the production methodology is the story.
Both marks live in the public registry. Both are reviewed under published standards. The differences are what each one verifies and what evidence we need.
