(For publishers and labels)
Catalog administration for independent publishers and labels
Independent publishers and record labels need repeatable process: songs, writers, ownership, royalty pipelines, and statements that finance and partners can trust. Dark Lab is built for that operations layer.
One catalog instead of scattered rights files
Growing catalogs break when each release lives in a different spreadsheet. Centralize compositions, writer relationships, and ownership so A&R, ops, and finance are looking at the same record. That is the difference between a label that can answer a rights question in minutes and one that cannot.
Royalty operations and statement readiness
Ops teams need status, not folklore. Monitor royalty pipelines, see what is pending versus processed, and generate period statements for rights holders. Export PDF, Excel, or CSV when a partner, accountant, or co-publisher needs the file.
Admin analytics help you watch catalog health across the platform — which is what a small publisher actually needs from software, rather than a consumer streaming chart.
Built for companies, not only solo writers
Company accounts can manage catalogs across roles. That matters when a label administers writer shares, a publisher represents multiple writers, or a rights team needs one login path instead of forwarding CSV dumps over email.
