The fastest way to clear a sample.

Built for the industry

Whether you're an artist clearing your first sample, management coordinating a release, a label handling catalog licensing, or an entertainment attorney drafting clearance requests — Clear the Wax gives you the ownership data and contacts you need in seconds, not weeks.

What you get

• 01Master and publishing rights holder identification — verified against label and publisher records
• 02Direct licensing contacts — departments, emails, and phone numbers for the people who handle clearances
• 03Professional clearance request letters — one for master, one for publishing, ready to send
• 04Pipeline tracking — a nine-step workflow that mirrors how clearance houses manage deals internally
• 05Pipeline tracking — manage your clearance workflow from first contact to contract

How it works

Enter the song you're sampling. We check our internal database first. If we have verified ownership data, you get it instantly — along with the licensing contact. If the song isn't in our database yet, we use AI inference to identify the most likely rights holders, clearly marked with a confidence score so you know exactly what's verified and what needs confirmation.

What we don't do

We don't negotiate. We don't provide legal advice. We don't charge you to find publicly accessible information. We give you the data and the contact. You handle the deal.

Built from real deals

Every feature in Clear the Wax comes from real clearance workflows — real deal threads, real timelines, real contacts. The nine-step pipeline tracker mirrors how professional clearance houses manage their deals. We built the tool we needed when we were clearing samples ourselves.
