Licensing

Licensing tiers

HFA licensing tiers reflect differences in usage scope, dataset depth, and documentation— not differences in audio quality.

Foundations audio is always included.

Proteus Standard™ integrity applies at every tier.

Orpheus Suite metadata enrichment is available as an enterprise add-on.

Choose the tier that matches your use case

Tiers are designed to support different stages of development—from academic exploration to production deployment.

Tier

For academic labs, MIR research, and early-stage exploration.

Intended for: non-commercial research rather than production deployment.

Most common

Tier

For product prototyping, internal model training, and commercial R&D.

Optional: partial Orpheus annotations on select agreements.

Tier

For production deployment, compliance review, and long-term integration.

Best for: teams that need defensible data in regulated environments.

HFA licenses are scoped individually so buyers receive exactly what they need—without paying for irrelevant coverage.

Tell us what you’re building and which parts of the catalog you’re exploring. We’ll suggest an appropriate tier and dataset starting point.

HFA does not offer individual clip sales or consumer licenses.
