This page states plainly what this website is, what it is not, and how its reference material should be read. It exists so that no reader is left guessing about the nature of what the studio publishes.
An independent studio
Deep Audio Level is an independent music studio and editorial publisher. It is not connected to, sponsored by, or endorsed by any company, project or platform that appears anywhere on this website. No vendor has any influence over what is written here, and none provides the studio with anything of value in exchange for a mention. Where this site discusses a product, it does so as an outside observer describing characteristics, not as a partner or an agent.
Editorial reference material
One page on this site compares several audio editors by their technical characteristics. That page is editorial. It reflects the studio's own reading of publicly described features and is offered for general understanding, not as a recommendation. Characteristics of any software change over time, and a reader who relies on a specific point should confirm it at its original source. The studio accepts no responsibility for decisions taken on the basis of that reference material.
No products hosted or supplied
This website distributes nothing. It hosts no packages, no files, no installables and no products of any kind, and it offers no means of obtaining them. The studio writes and records music; it is not a software repository, a mirror, or a storefront. Any link on this site leads only to another page of this same site.
Music and custom work
The songs the studio writes are commissioned works. They are made for a client and, in most cases, owned or licensed by that client. Nothing on this site is a public-domain music library, and the studio does not authorise the use of any delivered song by anyone other than the client named in its rights summary. If you want a song for a purpose of your own, commission one through the commission request form.
No professional advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal, financial or professional advice. Pages that touch on rights, ownership and licensing describe how the studio handles commissions; they do not tell any reader what to do in their own situation. Where a decision carries legal consequences, a reader should take advice from a qualified professional rather than act on a general description written for a studio website.
Third-party names
Where this site names a product or project, the name is used only to identify what is being described, and it remains the property of its owner. The use is descriptive and factual: it says what a piece of software is good at, not what a reader should buy or install. No implication of approval, sponsorship or partnership is intended, and none should be inferred from a mention alone. If a rights holder would prefer a different form of reference, the studio will change the wording on request.
Accuracy and updates
The studio aims for accuracy and corrects errors promptly when they come to light. Pages are updated as the studio's practice changes, and a page that describes a service in detail is subject to the written quote issued for any actual commission. Where a detail on the site and a detail in a quote disagree, the quote governs.
Severability
If any part of this disclaimer were found to be unenforceable, the rest of it would stand. The purpose of the page is to be truthful about the nature of the site, and no single sentence on it carries the whole of that purpose on its own.
Contact
