The products
Cuepup for music drafts. Music ID for usage reports.
Cuepup
Cuepup helps choose music from a project’s library and edit it to the scene. The composer reviews the draft and decides what stays.
Today the scoring workflow runs in a third-party audio workstation. We are developing Cuepup Local as our own independent editing workspace.
Explore music drafts Music IDMusic ID compares a finished mix with a supplied music library. It reports likely matches and timing to help prepare a music-use report, or cue sheet.
An in-house tool in active development. Matches and timing need review, especially under dialogue.
Explore Music IDWho it's for
For the people preparing and checking TV music.
Broadcasters & production teams
Prepare music drafts for an episode and review what was used in the finished mix.
Studios & post houses
Edit music to a scene and find library tracks used in an editor’s reference cut.
Music libraries & reporting teams
Compare a mix with your catalogue and review a draft list of music uses.
Our first focus is long-running TV drama. We are interested in partners who can help test the tools on other workflows.
Where we are now
Working tools, with more to build.
We use and test the tools in our own work, review the results and keep improving them. We are now exploring carefully scoped beta partnerships.
In-house scoring
The current scoring workflow prepares music drafts in a third-party audio workstation. The composer reviews the choices, edits and final mix.
Our own workspace
Cuepup Local is our independent music and video editor. Bringing the full scoring workflow into it is still in progress. Its cloud version is an owner-only test pilot.
Music recognition
Music ID matches a mix against a supplied library and exports data for review. We are improving missed matches, timing under dialogue and how results are checked.

For investors
Invest in the next stage of Cuepup.
Cuepup grew out of our own TV music work. We are seeking early-stage investment to develop the independent editor, improve music recognition and run scoped pilots with music teams.
Build Cuepup Local
Bring the current scoring workflow into Cuepup Local, then validate it on complete production projects.
Improve Music ID
Make likely library matches, timing under dialogue and reviewable music-use data more useful for teams working from supplied libraries.
Test with pilot partners
Use scoped beta pilots with TV drama and post-production teams to shape a focused paid software offering. There is no public self-serve release today.
FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Can I use it today?
We currently use and test the tools in-house. There is no public sign-up. We are exploring beta partnerships and agree each pilot’s scope before requesting project material. The cloud pilot is currently owner-only.
Does Cuepup create new music?
The current workflow selects and edits recordings from a project-provided library. The composer makes the final choices, and the project team checks music permissions.
What can Music ID recognize?
It looks for music in the library you supply. Identical recordings may produce several possible source files. Quiet music can be missed; pitch-shifted and time-stretched music are not currently supported. Music-use reports still need human and rights review.
How are you improving the tools?
We compare proposed music with the composer’s final choices, examine recognition errors and test editing workflows. Those findings guide the next changes. Our development notes describe progress and what remains in progress.
