SSO Artists Entertainment Launches Apple Digital Masters Upgrade Initiative
We’re excited to announce that SSO Artists Entertainment has begun upgrading select client releases to Apple Digital Masters (ADM) as part of our ongoing 2026 audio-quality initiative.
ADM delivers the highest-fidelity listening experience on Apple Music, and we’re proud to provide this enhancement at no cost to the artists selected for this cycle.
What the ADM rollout includes:
🔹 Fresh high-resolution masters validated to Apple’s ADM technical standards
🔹 Upgraded audio clarity, optimized loudness, and enhanced dynamic accuracy
🔹 Fully Apple-compliant metadata and delivery packaging
🔹 1–3 day ingestion windows for new masters to propagate
🔹 Automatic processing — no action required from creators
This program is reserved for titles that meet SSO’s internal performance benchmarks and audio-quality potential. Catalogs already certified for ADM through SSO or through approved external engineers continue to remain live and unaffected.
As always, we’re committed to elevating the quality, consistency, and competitiveness of the music released under the SSO ecosystem.
Raising the bar for independent creators — one master at a time.
