Real listeners. Real feedback. Fast.
Soundcheck gives labels and music marketers a direct line to verified music fans - targeted by territory, genre affinity, and listening behavior. Ask any question. Get answers in days, not weeks.
Most listener panels weren't built for music.
Traditional research tools give you a score. Soundcheck gives you signal - from people who actually listen, playlist, and share music.
Traditional research tools
- —Recruited panelists who take surveys for money, not because they love music
- —Generic demographic targeting with no genre or listening-behavior layer
- —Weeks of setup, panel recruitment, and report turnaround
- —Feedback from listeners who won't actually stream, share, or playlist the track
- —A score. Not a conversation.

You get the data
A synthesized report with key themes, standout quotes, and sentiment breakdown - plus raw data if you want to go deeper.
You ask. You get.
"What does this remind you of? Where would you listen to it?"
"Would you add this to a playlist? What would you call it?"
"Who does this remind you of? Who would you put them next to?"
Any question your team needs answered.
We've been using this for years. Just not for you.
Thematic's Community Review process uses this exact listener feedback mechanism to determine which songs get added to the platform. Every week, thousands of music fans respond to tracks with votes, ratings, and written reactions. That data drives our catalog decisions - and it's taught us what real listener signal looks like.
Community Review lets us pre-vet creator interest in a song before it's licensed - not based on taste alone, but on whether creators would actually use it in their videos.
Songs with consistently high listener ratings in Community Review attract significantly more creator interest once they go live on the platform. High ratings are a leading signal, not just a score.
Tracks that score highest in Community Review often trend before they're widely available on streaming platforms. We see the signal before the charts do.
The infrastructure is built. The panel is active and motivated. Soundcheck puts that same mechanism to work for your release strategy - targeted to your audience, designed around your questions.
