Established in Austria in 2006 (that’s as old as James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful,” by the way), Rebeat Digital has become a reliable distribution partner for musicians and labels worldwide. Their commitment to transparency and empowering users aligns with SubmitHub’s values, which is why we’ve decided to feature their service.
Whether you’re seeking a customizable distribution service, are an advocate of Dolby Atmos, you make classical music, or are a label that needs financial and administrative efficiency, Rebeat Digital’s comprehensive features and personalized approach definitely make it a compelling option worth exploring.
So, what stood out about Rebeat Digital?
Rebeat’s system features a distribution matrix that allows you to tailor your release strategies in great detail -- which is why we believe Rebeat is a good choice for musicians/labels with very specific distribution needs. For instance, you can individually select digital stores to distribute your content, set separate release dates for each store and region, and choose specific geographic territories and pricing tiers to best suit your target audience and regional focus. If you’re a label with acts in different territories, Rebeat can make your life a lot easier.
Another feature Rebeat is known for is its transparent accounting functionality. Track revenues, expenses, and splits between individual parties involved in your releases are presented through easy to understand visual breakdowns.
Something to note: Their current software uses a Microsoft-based interface, which may feel somewhat retro. This design is currently being updated, meaning there’s a sexy upgrade coming soon. All the features will remain the same!
Musicians and labels who value autonomy will appreciate Rebeat’s white-label solutions. For your data management and accounting, you can leverage Rebeat’s software even if you distribute with another distributor (for a once-off fee).
Because Rebeat Digital was an early adopter of Dolby Atmos, and due to their continued belief in the format, they support Dolby Atmos uploads without any extra charges to artists, a rare benefit in the distribution world.
Classical musicians will also find Rebeat Digital to be a valuable ally. Why is that? Well, due to the extra work of checking classical products and very strict classical music guidelines, not a lot of distributors offer this service – well, Rebeat does! Rebeat Digital is one of the few distributors that delivers classical music to stores like iTunes and Apple Music.
Other perks of working with Rebeat Digital include personalized support with a 24-hour response time and promotional tools like editorial playlist pitching (who wouldn’t like that), social media assistance, and smart links. This is an underrated feature. Ask any artist who has struggled to get a hold of their distributor when something goes wrong with their music library!
These are just a few of the standout features we discovered during our tour of Rebeat’s service. If you find any of these features – or their philosophy – appealing for you and your project, we believe Rebeat is worth a try.
