Prepare your master
Export the final mix as an uncompressed WAV — 24-bit / 48kHz is the delivery standard. Listen to the whole file once, start to finish, on headphones and on a phone speaker. Check the start and end for clicks, and leave no accidental silence at either end.
Artwork that passes review
Artwork requirements vary by destination. Confirm the current file, colour, text and logo rules before delivery.
Metadata & codes
Metadata is how the world finds you: artist name spelled exactly the same way every release, the real title with no decoration, the correct language and genre tags. Identifier codes — ISRC for the recording, UPC for the release — are assigned during onboarding; you do not need to buy them anywhere.
Choose your release date
Give yourself runway. A date several weeks out leaves room for review, delivery and pitching before day one. Align the date with anything you control — a video, a show, a post series — so the release lands with support rather than alone.
Apply for your invite
Mazufa is invite-only. Complete applications enter a human-review queue subject to capacity. Submitting never creates an account; approved applicants may receive a private onboarding invitation.
After approval
Once onboarded, an eligible release is prepared to current destination specifications. Available reporting depends on platform data and account access.

A sync license ("synchronization") is permission for someone to use your song in a video — a film, TV show, ad or game — usually for a fee. It can be one of the most lucrative ways your music earns. Here's how it works. General info, not legal advice.
How sync works
To use a recording in video, a producer needs two permissions: the sync license for the composition (the song) and a master use license Releasing is free and Mazufa takes 0% commission. Eligibility for individual features depends on the release and the territory.
Why ownership matters
You can only license what you own. Because distributing through Mazufa leaves you with ownership subject to your agreement, you're to say yes to sync opportunities and keep the money. Keep cleanmetadata and a signed split sheet so any deal is easy to clear.
Frequently asked
What is a sync license?
A sync license is permission to synchronize your song with visual media — film, TV, ads, games or online video — usually in exchange for a fee.
How much does a sync placement pay?
It varies widely, from modest fees for small projects to large sums for major ads or films, plus performance royalties when the content airs publicly.
What rights are needed to use a song in a video?
Two: a sync license for the composition and a master use license for the recording. If you own both, you control and keep the deal.
Can independent artists get sync deals?
Yes. Because you own your music, you can license it directly or through sync agents. Owning ownership subject to your agreement makes you easy to work with.
Does distributing affect my sync rights?
Releasing is free and Mazufa takes 0% commission. Acceptance still depends on each platform's own review.
