As a Record Label QC team, you can download and review final assets received for a completed project to ensure all requirements are met for final delivery and archival
When a mix or master project has been approved, the service provider will prepare and upload final asset deliverables for the project (e.g. final stems, main and clean versions etc.).
The Label A&R and/or Label Admin will need to share access to the final project files so that QC can proceed.
Here are the steps on how to conduct quality checks once project access has been shared.
1. You (the QC team) will receive an email notification with a share link to the project where you can download, review, and approve/reject the final project files.
Click the link in the email.
2. If the project page is secured by a password, refer to your email for the password and enter it, then click submit.
NOTE:
- Budget approval IS required in order for the delivery of final asset files to be unlocked for download and QC approval before the project's completion
- Direct Billing Information MUST be submitted for the project by the A&R beforehand, otherwise you will not be able to download or gain access to the shared project files for QC review/approval.
3. Once you've gained access to the shared project page, click the Submit QC Result button.
4. Next, click the Download button to download the final project files. After you have reviewed the downloaded files, you can click the Submit QC button.
5. If the delivered asset files for the project did not pass QC (e.g. something missing or incorrect) and you need to request a re-upload, select the Request re-upload option. If the files pass QC, skip down to step 9 to provide approval.
6. Provide a detailed explanation to the engineer for why the provided final assets are rejected that you are requesting a re-upload. Then click the Request Re-upload button.
7. The A&R will receive an email notification of the QC result and explanation for the rejection, so they can stay informed. The engineer will be notified of the re-upload request.
8. After the engineer has re-uploaded the project files, the A&R will be notified of the new project files available for QC review. You can revisit the shared project page to evaluate the re-uploaded files (repeat Steps 1-4 above).
9. If the delivered asset files for the project successfully pass QC, you can approve the assets by selecting the Approve Assets option.
10. Enter your email to receive a confirmation and click the Approve Assets button.
This step will mark the project as fully complete and payment will be released to the engineer.
