Trace: where does a track sit?
Most similarity tools compare whole tracks against whole tracks. Trace goes deeper. It compares music at the track, stem, section and lyric level, so it can find a borrowed bassline hiding in a different song, a chorus reused in a new arrangement, or a lyric reworked over a new beat.
Soundverse Trace: music similarity at track, stem, section and lyric level.
Search modes
- 1:1 triage: compare two tracks head to head.
- 1:N screening: check one track against an entire catalog.
- N⇌N catalog sweeps: run a whole batch of tracks against a whole catalog, or compare catalogs against each other.
Comparison levels
- Track: the song as a whole.
- Stem: vocals, drums, bass and melody, each on its own.
- Section: verse against verse, chorus against chorus.
- Lyrics: the words, not just the sound.
The report
At the end, Trace gives you a clear report showing what matched, where it matched and how closely. You can also build your own dataset to search against, and explore a 3D visualisation of embeddings to see how your tracks cluster and relate to each other in sound space.
Trace is built for labels, publishers, platforms and creators who need to know where music comes from, and who deserves credit for it. The Trace documentation covers datasets, search and results in detail.

FAQ
What's the difference between Trace and the Copyright Checker?
The Copyright Checker checks your audio against known copyrighted songs. Trace is a deeper similarity search: it compares at track, stem, section and lyric level, against any catalog, including your own dataset.
Can Trace check a whole catalog?
Yes. Use 1:N screening for one track against a catalog, or N⇌N sweeps for many tracks at once.
Can I search against my own music?
Yes. You can build your own dataset in Trace and search against it.
Does a clean result mean my track is cleared?
No. These tools help you check your music, but they aren't legal advice. Talk to a music lawyer for important rights decisions.
Can Agent One run these checks for me?
Yes. Describe what you need checked or negotiated, and Agent One runs the right tools.
