Performing Rights Organization

If you’re a working musician, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to sign onto a Performing Rights Organization. These companies don’t help place your music in film, tv, or ads; however, they will do a lot of administrative work to make sure your songs aren’t illegally being used. In other words, if your song is played without your permission, especially if the individual using your song is making money, you can bet that your PRO (Performing Rights Organization) is going to collect on your behalf or will shut the project down.

Being on a PRO such as BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC will help you collect royalties on your behalf. While this is so, it’s important to keep in mind that you will not receive random checks or deposits from your PRO. Royalties are typically paid out every quarter.

Sync Licensing Albuquerque

When it comes to music, once a band has played their album a few times live, many of the songs fall to the wayside. They just aren’t popular enough to be played regularly, so the band becomes rusty on how to play them, and eventually, the song is all, but forgotten.

You spent a lot of time and money creating those songs. Don’t let them go to waste! Instead, consider placing your songs in a Music Licensing Catalog, so they can be pitched for placement in movies, TV, or ads!

Sync Licensing New Mexico

When it comes to pitching music, some musicians make the mistake by not including enough notes in their emails. If the song you’re pitching for a certain brief needs a little explanation, you need to add those notes. For instance, if the song brief is looking for songs mentioning something specific, like “Magical butterflies”, but you don’t mention “Magical Butterflies” until the second verse, tell the music supervisor where to listen. This is also the case if your song has a very long intro OR you want them to focus on certain instrumentals in an unusual part of the song.

There are many older musicians out there with professionally recorded tracks that they’d love to pitch, but they don’t have a full package like vocals or instrumentals. If that sounds like you, don’t feel discouraged. You can still pitch your music and/or get yourself on a music licensing agency catalog. You just need to be clear that you have an older track and those features are no longer available. While this may hurt for some briefs, you still have a chance.

Show Some Restraint

When it comes to submitting songs for sync, some musicians might feel tempted to send every song in their catalog, but this is a huge mistake. Rather than send all of your songs, you should choose the best ones. Yes, there is a chance you might not send the song that’s the right match for a particular project, however, if you do your research to learn what types of projects music supervisors are working you, you’ll quickly discover similarities in what they choose, and you should be able to better choose a few songs to send to them. Remember, if they like a couple of songs, they may hit you up for more!

At 505 Songworks in Albuquerque, we specialize in pitching music for film, tv, and ads. If you are curious on what songs are on your catalog that might be appropriate for sync, please consider submitting to their catalog, so they can pitch music on your behalf. Visit their website today!
