Hi Bud,
I previously released two double compilation albums and an EP through Songcast without any questions asked, and I did use BIAB Realtracks on some of the tracks (mainly just drums though). I also used other third party content with permission from the author(s).
It's only my latest release that has stalled whilst LANDR check that I have permission to use the third-party content that they appear to have detected whilst reviewing it. The song 'You Make Me Think About Love' is an original composition, but it's the first time that I have used only BIAB Realtracks as the accompaniment to my vocal performance. I don't mention anything in the metadata regarding any other contributor than myself.
My previous eight releases contained a mixture of BIAB Realtracks and live instruments, and they were all successfully distributed to Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play, Deezer,etc with monetization for streaming and downloads.
I've even had five of these tracks aired on local and national BBC Radio here in the UK, and the BBC are known for being particularly strict and sensitive regarding the use (or misuse) of any copyrighted material in their broadcasts.
I'm confident that my release will go ahead when LANDR receive my reply to their email, but if I experience any further problems, I will simply release through an alternative distributor instead. Stay tuned for the conclusion to this mystery.
