The Mastering Show #104 - Mastering for Sync ? What, Why and How
Shownotes
Getting your music "synced" for licensing in TV, movies or ads can be an amazing opportunity for indie musicians to make money and gain exposure. But is it just a pipe dream, and is mastering a necessary part of the process ?
Chris SD from Sync Songwriter is an expert in this topic – just in the last year they've had artists get songs placed in the soundtrack for the Oscar-winning movie "Anora", for example! And this episode I talk to him about this whole topic, including:
- What sync licensing is
- Why song supervisors might be interested in hearing your music
- How people normally submit their music for possible sync opportunities
- A better way that you can connect with them to improve the odds of getting your music taken on for use in film, TV and adverts
- Which types of songs and artists are most likely to be taken on and
- The role mastering and audio production play in this process
And lastly we talk about the free Sync Songwriter Music Supervisor Panel that he's put together to help you find out more about all this - which is taking place this January.
