What is happening
Starting July 1, 2026, Traxsource is rolling out AI transparency labels on releases. Every track will be marked as one of four states: Human Made, AI Assisted, Inconclusive, or Not Scanned. To do this, Traxsource has partnered with two AI-detection companies, SH Labs and SoundPatrol, which scan submitted music and classify it.
Fully AI-generated tracks are flagged for removal. Everything else is sorted into Human Made or AI Assisted based on the detection result.
What it means if you make music
If you are a hybrid producer — using AI as one tool among many, but playing parts, writing lyrics, arranging, and shaping your own sound — this is the moment that matters. Automated detection sees patterns; it does not see the hours you put in. A track that is genuinely your work can still come back as "AI Assisted" or "Inconclusive."
The honest problem: detection tools classify the file. They do not give you a way to show what you actually did to make it.
What is actually required (and what is not)
To be clear, because there is a lot of noise: Traxsource scans music on its own side, using its own partners. You are not required to use any third-party documentation service, and no tool can guarantee you a particular label — that is the platform's decision based on its own scan.
What you can do is keep your own record of how a track was made, so you are not relying on memory or scrambling after the fact if your work is questioned.
How documentation helps
This is where keeping a dated, independent record of your process is useful. Before a track leaves your studio, you can document: the file itself (a fingerprint and timestamp showing it existed on a given date), and a declaration of how it was made — what you played, wrote, and arranged, and where AI was used as a tool.
That record does not override a platform's classification. What it does is give you your own side of the story, on your own terms, ready if anyone — a label, a distributor, a platform — questions how the track was made.
What to do now
- Read Traxsource's AI policy directly so you know how your releases will be classified.
- For tracks you are about to submit, keep your project files and any notes on your process.
- If you want an independent, timestamped record of your work and an AI/contribution disclosure, document each track before you send it off.
The shift across the industry is toward transparency. The producers who do best will be the ones who can show their process clearly — not hide it.
