This is great information for me if I'm composing the music. But, what about for those who want to do a cover of someone else's music? I feel like I need a law degree to figure out how to do this correctly, in regards to both the mechanical and site license, so that UA-cam doesn't immediately pull my video or restrict me from monetizing it.
I remember in the mid 2000s when music supervisors used to chase down managers of artists/bands to get music placed. Now you have thousands of artists/composers competing for some small payout which means you have to get hundreds of placements to actually make what a big artist, band or composer makes with one big sync placement that airs during major sports and news broadcasts.
Well you can absolutely do music licensing without working with a library, BUT you have to create the relationships, nurture them, and essentially represent yourself at all times. So, is it really worth spending all this time NOT on music ?
from a click to purchase music licensing company (like music bed) or a music licensing company. Just contact them directly about your project, or purchase a podcast license from a click licensing company : - )
if I’ve purchased sound effects or music from any music site .. and puted in a client project How UA-cam, Twitter and so on will distinguish that music is legal and I have right to use it ?
Amazing video. Can anybody from other professions be a part of the music licensing industry just for the passion to create music? Would wait for your insights, sir 😀
Im in the beginning of starting to license my Music. I dont understand the logic behind charging different prices for different customers? I cant Think of any other business that works like that…
Supernova Sightseeing You scale the license price according to the size of the audience. It’s like paid marketing: you pay more to get in front of more eyeballs.
Sure, I get that thats the way it works. But I still struggle to see the logic in it. Imagine if Slash would walk into a music store and wanted to buy a guitar. The manager show him a guitar and says: "This guitar costs 500$. But because you play for huge audiences, you pay 5000$.
Supernova Sightseeing That’s how people make the « royalty-free » music work. If it’s not royalty-free, Music licensees pay EACH time they use the song. Instead, you pay a higher fee upfront when you know the audience is going to be big, but keep all the future profits.
If we are talking licensing-friendly lyrics, I would say that they would need to work in many contexts. The interpretation would need to be flexible, so as to maximize licensing potential!
Wait, so a music license allows the producer to grant user the right to his music. So if the producer has a license, the user has to get permission from the producer right? And the user can use the producer’s song by paying him? So what if I make a song for a video game that I also made, and I want to sell that music along with my game separately, so players can buy the music if they want. Do I need a license in order to sell like that?
@@producewithjt But what if they said they want to buy my music and use it commercially like for a youtube video? Do I need a license for that in order to sell it to them and give them the right to commercially use it?
@@producewithjt So what would happen if I don't have a license when somebody said they want to use it commercially? Or if I say they can freely use it commercially even though I don't have a license
Very informative video, but I do have a question which I couldn't find an answer anywhere. I'm trying to get a synchronization license for one specific song (Fields of Gold) to use in my video. The version I want to use is from Eva Cassidy, which is less popular than the Sting's version. I could not find any sync licensing site that allows the Eva Cassidy's version. However I'm wondering if it's matter in this case because the song is originally belongs to Sting as he wrote and first recorded it?
Teddy T I would say cover artists can’t license a song they don’t own the copyrights to. You’d probably have to reach out to whoever owns the Sting masters and talk to them about licensing the Eva Cassidy cover.
It depends... For internet use, you can usually credit the producer in the description. For TV, producers use cue sheets. I mean... Once you have purchased a license and are using the music within the constraints of the license, you're good to go!
Hi I have a question If I use a track in a commercial (for social media), do I have to mark anywhere that I have a licence? Because otherwise the video will be taken down?
There’s no such thing as a best platform. You need music that sells! Then, the rest will take care of itself. With that being said, there is such a thing as a contract that makes sense for you. Exclusive? Non-exclusive? Revenue distribution model?
Do singers have to pay a license every time they perform a song over the producers beat at a concert? Or do they just pay once when they are recording a song over the beat?
MzMahoganyHoneyBrown It depends on the license. When it is “royalty-free”, it basically means you pay once. Most royalty-free music out there does not allow artists to release commercial projects. So the moral of the story is: read the license before purchasing!
So as an artist you gotta pay for the beat , pay for the engineer , pay for the studio time , and at the end of the day pay so you can play it ... fucking stupid then there no point of buying a beat cause your not really buying shit
If you pay for a beat, generally you are then the copyright owner of that beat (always check user agreements to make sure). You can then take your song (that you own) and shop it around to a music licensing company. The music licensing company will then either provide a platform in which people in the public (filmmakers, film production companies, ad agencies) can purchase a license, or a music licensing company will pitch your songs to a network of their clients (for film, t.v. video games, and advertising) to try and secure a deal. The music licensing company will take their cut (40-50% if it's non exclusive) and the artist will get their cut (50-60%) for the license. Someone purchasing a license in most cases will not own the rights to your music, so you can license that same song as many times as you want. Hope that helps!

@@noahfrost225 This is not my area of expertise. But basically, as long as you make no money from the use of the cover, you should be fine.
@@producewithjt - Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of trying to monetize your channel.
@@noahfrost225 You build an audience with covers, THEN you monetize it with your own stuff.
I remember in the mid 2000s when music supervisors used to chase down managers of artists/bands to get music placed. Now you have thousands of artists/composers competing for some small payout which means you have to get hundreds of placements to actually make what a big artist, band or composer makes with one big sync placement that airs during major sports and news broadcasts.
Yes, but through libraries, you can automate all that and get hundreds every month without having to network with anyone!
The music industry has no many unnecessary middleman…
Why do you need licensing, publishing, management. So many inessential parties.
Well you can absolutely do music licensing without working with a library, BUT you have to create the relationships, nurture them, and essentially represent yourself at all times. So, is it really worth spending all this time NOT on music ?
Thanks for this well presented information. Glad to have come across your channel. Subbed.
Allan Gildea Always a pleasure!
i am confused , how can i as a youtuber buy a music licence ????
Same thing I also wanted to know
Social Media Guide ikr

You need to explain what are the different types for people who want to get one if you are doing it with no money made
Not sure I understand :) Get “one” ? Doing what with no money made?
Looking forward to your launch in November! Always enjoy what you put out and love the book!
Penuel Same here !!!
As a film maker, what would be the royalty I have to pay to use a 3 minute song in a 90 minutes film?
You have to see with either the musician or the music library you want to obtain the music from.
if I’ve purchased sound effects or music from any music site .. and puted in a client project
How UA-cam, Twitter and so on will distinguish that music is legal and I have right to use it ?
Well you could mention that in the video description..
More like a math class
Great video! Why are these views so low. I think this information is incredible!
Marcus Manderson They’re going to get there ;)
@@producewithjt Definitely!
Coz it's hell of a work!
Couldn't have said it better!
Thanks for explaining this!
Thanks for the info 🤙🏽
Sure thing!

Not sure what you have in mind.. you want to become a curator / music supervisor?

@@producewithjt Ahhh ok. Thanks for explaining. :)
giving someone else permission to fuck with distribution of your music? I dont get it
That’s how all businesses work. You extend your reach by partnering with other companies.
I write just lyrics any advice

Zekolwolf In that case, we don’t call that a license, because the players won’t use the work publicly.
@@producewithjt But what if they said they want to buy my music and use it commercially like for a youtube video? Do I need a license for that in order to sell it to them and give them the right to commercially use it?

Nice color choices
Which ones exactly?
@@producewithjt i like the yellow and green lol. dope vibes
@@themarcvelazquez haha let’s go!
When i get the license to music how do i use it or show that i own permission to use the music one i post it to the a platform
It depends... For internet use, you can usually credit the producer in the description. For TV, producers use cue sheets. I mean... Once you have purchased a license and are using the music within the constraints of the license, you're good to go!
A license is a contract. If you purchase a license, you will have a copy of a legal contract that states exactly what you can use that music for : - )
@@alexfitch5960 Thanks
How can I license my original music here in Philippines?
Find a library interested in your work!
Hi I have a question
If I use a track in a commercial (for social media), do I have to mark anywhere that I have a licence? Because otherwise the video will be taken down?
Check with the library you bought it from :)
Thanks for the info.
My pleasure!
Which platform is the best? Songtradr?
There’s no such thing as a best platform. You need music that sells! Then, the rest will take care of itself. With that being said, there is such a thing as a contract that makes sense for you. Exclusive? Non-exclusive? Revenue distribution model?
@@producewithjt What are some Exclusive sites?
@@atifak9826 Everything changes so fast! You have to constantly research libraries :)
Can you send me
How to license on my own songs?
I have a book and a 1:1 mentorship. Take your pick!
I don't know how to license
But I want to have license
On my own songs can you please help me how to do?
I am new here in youtube.
@@llianofficial9743 Are we talking about songs with lyrics? Who do you want to license the songs to?
What about an unofficial remix? Who do I get the license from?
The Blue Fox You can’t license something illegal.
Delicate Beats it’s not a bootleg though, is it still considered illegal?
@@swagdaddydiego6643 What's the difference? If the copyright owners haven't given permission to release the remix, it's illegal.
Delicate Beats I think it’s the type of remix where they did give permission, they just didn’t release it.
@@swagdaddydiego6643 how did this end up turning out?
Thank You
Anytime!
What’s your website?
