Awesome. Thank you Miss Krystle. You are amazing. I would love to work with you. Wow I am so excited.. stoked 🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟 I freaking love you forever you're awesome thank you for sharing blessings and cheers cuz I'm celebrating my success now 🥂🍾
Thank you for your genuinely informative video - it is usually impossible to get a straight answer about all this, so a it’s a refreshing change! Best PK
Exciting. There are posts on YT where I always think to myself that I'm on the wrong continent and that it might be easier to make contacts overseas - at least that's the impression I get from this. But as a fictitious music supervisor, wouldn't I be annoyed if I was constantly being approached by contacts? In the series "Reacher" there was an exciting phenomenon (IMO episode 7; February 2022) when a very, very high similarity to a song of mine from August 2021 was audible. I would have liked to talk to the audio producer about this - not because the copyright was infringed (I never released the song; only spread by social media), but simply because the two tracks are so incredibly close together. BUT: As a (hobby) musician and friend of properly laid cables (gear and room), the coiled cord on the microphone arm is really sinister. I recommend Velcro - no adhesive tape, please. :D
Before sending our tracks out either to stock or any music libraries or supervisors, do we need to register each with the US Copyright office or is natural copyright sufficient? Being new to sync, I haven’t had luck finding info specific to this. Love the videos.
I think it depends if it's exclusive or not. A lot of these sync libraries might be exclusive which makes it difficult if you're constantly putting out music through a distributor.
This information is so valuable to me. Thank you for your great explanations and thank you for not being a gatekeeper of information. I want to do this career but be as much as a one-man operation as possible. No agents, no companies.. So if I could make a suggestion inspired by my wish for a guerrilla operation, I would love to know more about clearing one's music. Let's say a music supervisor takes the time to check me out and is intrigued. They ask me if my music is cleared. I want to definitively say "yep, it's all cleared and ready to go. Here's my proof." How do I acquire proof and get my music ready to be used? Is it a legal document that any old person can download and fill out? How is the law involved? Do I have to do anything besides copyright? Thank you very much again 🙏🏼
The proof is that you made the music without samples that need to be cleaned. If you have other songwriters. You need something that states you have the authority to make decisions on everyone's behalf. Also working by yourself means you are a publisher as well. Meaning you have to register your own songs with a PRO. You can still work"alone" if you work with a music library. That's what I do. I'm in several music libraries. They act as my publisher. I send them music and they do all the backend work. My music is " cleared" because I make it all myself with no samples. The music licensing company acts on my behalf I hope that helps.
@@beatbuildersstudio this was extremely helpful! Thank you for taking the time to craft such a thoughtful reply. I just have to figure out the "something that states I have the authority to make decisions"? Because otherwise, all the other criteria is me. I'm curious about a music library and that'll probably be the way to go for all my little two-minute vignettes. But my "real" albums are more valuable and interesting to me... So I'll have to start "making connections" without being That Guy somehow. Thank you again very much for the response!
Hi Before you try and get sync licenses for your music, should you legally setup/create a separate "artist" name and do business under that instead of your personal name? Do you have any advice videos on using a separate "artist" name, rather than your given name? Thanks!
Having an artist name, if you are trying to be more anonymous, I think is a good idea. For sync situations, it matters a lot less, because typically your music is not being released on music platforms. So in your sync license you would just want to ensure that the credit given to you was for your artist name, if it was at the end of a TV show or movie, for example. Hope this helps!
You don't need a lot. If your sending music to music production libraries to get accepted. I would make between 3 - 5 songs that are finished. Once you get in a library then I would focus on making themed albums of 10 songs.
@@TopMusicAttorney I love it! From your mentioned platforms, which library would be the easiest and "best" for someone who is a total beginner to start uploading those first few tracks? ❤
What if I'm an artists and label services vendor with a major independent distributor not contracted for sync and my entire catalog needs to be presented, yet the artists aren't savvy on the subject nor driven to such a vital placement of revenue to pound this pavement?
I am a professional musician and composer and would be very interested in your services. I have tried to get my music out there but it is quite difficult. I have both Tunecore and Distrokid and have been a member of ASCAP for over 25 years. How can I have you listen to my music and see if we can work together?

Thank you for sharing this with us 🤲🏾❤️💪🏿
great info!
Great advice! I hope to get my music placed some day!

Thank you for the information 🙏🏽 this was very educational for me ❤
Very informative 👍
Thanks - great info, its tricky to get in!
OMG I’m a BGC Fan what episode && what season did they play your music 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great info! Question, how would you mitigate the potential issue of your music being used in something you don’t want it in?
First, thanks for the great info! So, can you have a song on Spotify and also in a sync library? Or should it be exclusively in a sync lib?
I think it depends if it's exclusive or not. A lot of these sync libraries might be exclusive which makes it difficult if you're constantly putting out music through a distributor.
1st and 2nd information on sync

When Krystal said make friends with the music supervisor for "Lucifer" I forgot it was a t.v. show and thought something else at first lil😅
I have music in thousands of tv shows. It doesn't make very much money anymore. It just sounds good to say you have music and tv shows.
What shows are your music in
@@justfactzdaartist hundreds of shows I don't keep track anymore

Is there any scope for sync licensing AI generated music/songs?
How many finished songs would you need to get started?
You don't need a lot. If your sending music to music production libraries to get accepted. I would make between 3 - 5 songs that are finished.
Once you get in a library then I would focus on making themed albums of 10 songs.

Have 10, pick your strongest 3-5! Honestly, you can start with just one, just start!
