Clearances Made Simple

Whether you’re clearing one song or a dozen, we’ve got you covered.
From major motion pictures and television to streaming, advertising, and film festivals, Atrium manages the entire clearance process so you don’t have to.

Tracking down rights holders, identifying publishers and master owners, navigating domestic and international rights, determining required permissions, and managing paperwork can be overwhelming, even for experienced teams.


We handle all of it.


Rights research, negotiations, approvals, and documentation all done correctly, efficiently, and without risk, so you can stay focused on creating.

Our Music Clearance Workflow

Our clearance and cue sheet workflow is designed to be seamless, transparent, and fast — without ever compromising detail or diligence.We begin by confirming all rights and usage requirements, then issue the appropriate licenses and documentation for your project.

Once music is locked, we prepare, review, and submit cue sheets with complete accuracy, ensuring all writers, publishers, and rights holders are properly represented.

From first request to final delivery, our team manages the process end-to-end so you don’t have to chase paperwork, track down approvals, or worry about errors after air.

Hear From Our Clients

"Atrium has been a pleasure to work with over the last several years. In a sometimes extremely tedious and painstaking area of the industry, Atrium had consistently made the process of song submission to song placement seamless and simple. I’m grateful for the work we’ve done together, and I hope to continue for many years to come."

"Landed my first-ever sync placement with Atrium! From that first win to many more, they’ve helped me grow tremendously. Both in understanding the world of sync and developing my craft in writing for TV. Josh and the entire team are not only exceptional human beings, but also an incredible resource for knowledge and industry expertise. Excited for continued collaboration!"

"I love the experience I’ve had with Atrium Music! I started my sync licensing journey with Atrium leading the charge as my top choice music library for all of my Syncable projects. Josh has been awesome with answering all of my questions in a speedy fashion. Very friendly and active! I've consistently seen great results from Atrium finding placements for my Songs. Also, the recent change to Atrium direct Pay brings me even more excitement for my continued future as apart of the Atrium Music Family!"

"It's been over 10 years, multiple countries, multiple TV shows, and it still is amazing to hear my music be apart of a story that millions of people tune into each week whether it's about love, action, crime or something else. Special thanks to all over at Atrium that make this happen."

"Atrium truly feels like family. I had some success in landing some songs with them on Netflix. The family over at Atrium is very attentive , easy to talk to and are very receptive. Love being part of the family."

"Atrium have placed music of mine on shows as well-known as The Bachelorette. It’s been a kick to see those successes and an inspiration to see the fine work they’re doing to open doors on a number of great programs. Josh and the team have always been fair and open about things like pay scale and new opportunities, and I look forward to continued work on their upcoming projects!"

Music Clearance & Cue Sheets FAQs

What does music clearance actually include?

Music clearance involves confirming ownership, securing the appropriate licenses, and ensuring  all rights are properly granted for your intended use. Atrium handles this process end-to-end so  your project is legally protected before release or broadcast.

When should music be cleared during production?

Ideally, music should be cleared as soon as it’s selected or locked for picture. Clearing early  prevents last-minute issues, delays, or costly replacements down the line.

What is a cue sheet, and why does it matter?

A cue sheet documents how music is used in a production and ensures royalties are paid correctly  to artists and rights holders. Accurate cue sheets protect both productions and creators by  keeping royalty reporting clean and reliable.

Does Atrium handle cue sheet creation and submission?

Yes. Atrium prepares, reviews, and submits cue sheets with complete accuracy, making sure all  writers, publishers, timings, and usages are correctly documented and delivered to the proper  parties. 

Can Atrium clear music that isn’t from your catalog?

Yes. We can handle clearance for third-party music, provided rights information is available. Our  team manages negotiations and documentation to ensure compliance regardless of source. 

What happens if there’s an error or change after delivery?

Production changes happen. Atrium monitors revisions, updates documentation when needed,  and resolves issues quickly to prevent future royalty or legal complications.
