Built for the way you work
DropCue was built by Marc Aaron Jacobs, a composer with 15 years of placements across advertising, trailer, and television. The product exists because the legacy workflow (email attachments, Dropbox links, $30 a month for incumbent platforms with add-on fees on top) is not built for the speed of modern sync licensing. Composers know this. Music supervisors know this. Until now no one had built the alternative.
Working composers are not casual SaaS users. You write to a brief, deliver under deadline pressure, and pitch to people who triage 100 to 400 unsolicited submissions a week. The tool you use to share your music has to respect that reality. It needs to handle ALT mixes and stems at the moment of pitch, not on request. It needs to load on a phone in an Uber. It needs to give you the analytics that tell you whether the supervisor actually listened or just opened the link to be polite.
The pitching workflow has compressed. A trailer brief that took a week to close in 2018 closes in 48 hours today. The composer who ships a clean playlist URL with stems and ALT mixes already linked beats the composer who promises stems by tomorrow. Every time. We have a full breakdown in our how music supervisors review pitches workflow guide if you want the unvarnished version of what the triage actually looks like.
DropCue handles this with auto-grouped ALT mix organization. Upload a master plus its instrumental, TV mix, 60-second cutdown, 30-second cutdown, and stems. DropCue groups them all under the parent track. The supervisor sees one playlist entry per cue, expands it, and accesses every variation. No 30-file zip. No "do you have a no-vocal version" follow-up emails at midnight.
DropCue works for composers across every corner of the industry. Trailer composers shipping cinematic action, hybrid orchestral, neo-classical, and rising emotional cues. Film composers iterating with directors through 6-round revision cycles. Production music writers building 2,000-cue catalogs. Library composers shipping to Audiosocket, Marmoset, Pond5, and Premium Beat. Indie artists building their first EPK. Jazz musicians collecting live recordings from real venues. Classical composers presenting multi-movement works with score PDFs attached.
Each of those workflows has its own page if you want the deep version: trailer composers, film composers, production music composers, music library composers, classical composers, jazz musicians, and jingle composers. Each page covers the audience-specific reality and exactly which DropCue features fit that workflow.
Studio setups, DAWs, sample libraries, and workflow decisions from Hans Zimmer, Jacob Collier, and Charlie Puth. Built for working composers who want to study what actually drives the sound, not gear listicles. See the full composer profile library.
DropCue is a tool, not a publisher. We do not take a cut of your sync placements. When you book a $25,000 trailer placement or a $5,000 TV cue, that money goes to you. The aggregator platforms (Songtradr, Musicbed) take 30 to 60 percent of placement revenue. Plans start at $5 a month with annual billing and that is the entire deal. We do not control your masters, we do not pitch your music for you, and we do not gatekeep your relationships with supervisors. You own everything you upload.
For composers running larger catalogs or co-writing with collaborators, Pro plans scale with track count starting at $12 a month for 1,000 tracks. There is also a Founding Member tier at $599 one-time for lifetime Pro access. Same pricing for sync agencies and publishers and for music supervisors: there are no separate tiers that double the price for the same product.
Most composers and agencies who switch to DropCue were paying $30+ a month for DISCO.ac, plus add-on fees for analytics and automation. The Disco Switcher tool handles bulk migration with metadata preservation, ALT mix auto-grouping, and supervisor contact import. Most catalogs migrate in under an hour. There is also a paid offer that converts your existing DISCO subscription into DropCue credit, so you do not pay twice during the transition.

FAQ
Sign up free, upload your best tracks and a video reel, add a short bio and contact info, and customize your colors. Your EPK lives at a branded link you can paste into emails or pin to your social bio. Most composers have a polished EPK live in under 15 minutes — and unlike a static PDF press kit, you see exactly who opened it, what they played, and how long they listened.
An EPK (electronic press kit) is a single-link digital portfolio that shows music supervisors, A&Rs, agencies, and labels who you are, what you sound like, and how to book you. A great EPK has a bio, a curated music sample, a video reel, contact info, and links to streaming and social. With DropCue, your EPK is also a tracking tool — you see opens, plays, and timestamped feedback in real time.
