Inner Circle Administration Process

For Inner Circle members who elect to utilize the Watershed Pro distribution platform and Watershed Music Publishing's administration services, the process and workflow include the following:

1 of 4 - Distribution via Watershed Pro

Original recordings are uploaded to your Watershed Pro account.

The master recordings are your assets but come under our rights management.

You will immediately receive an auto-generated email regarding your distributed release.

A team member will also follow up with a confirmation, a marketing link, and other helpful information.

If you are releasing music via Watershed Pro for the first time, please notify us, and we will provide instructions to set up and use your account.

2 of 4 - Inner Circle Administration Agreement

If you are releasing music via Watershed Pro for the first time AND would like us to handle the publishing administration work (as noted below), we must complete the Inner Circle Administration Agreement. This agreement only needs to be signed one time.
