Sync Licensing Frequently Asked Questions

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 04:28:00 +0000

Q: What exactly is sync licensing?

Sync licensing places songs in TV shows, movies, commercials and video games for a fee. Every song you hear on TV or in the theater

is only there because a sync license was purchased for that project. The term comes from “syncing” music to what is on the screen.

Q: Who uses sync licenses?

Sync licenses are used by TV companies, film studios, video game companies, and anyone else that wants to use music for a visual

project.

Q: Are license fees the same for everyone?

The price of a sync license changes depending on the song, the writers and producers, what type of project it’s being used for, and many

others. For this reason, sync license fees vary from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars!

Q: How many songs can I upload to the KLM catalog?

As many as you want. The price of uploading doesn’t change, so as long as you own the rights to the song, it’s your decision. You can

send in 3 songs that you wrote last weekend or a 100,000 song catalog!

Q: How long will my songs be available for purchase?

That is up to you. By default, your songs will remain in the KLM Licensing Catalog until you tell us to take it down.

Q: Can I still use my songs if they are in the KLM catalog?

Absolutely. The KLM licensing catalog is only for sync rights and possibly master rights, if you choose to do so. You are free to use your

song on records, play it live, record new versions....anything!

Q: What’s the difference between a sync license and master license?

This is a very popular question. If you wanted to re-record a song in a style more suited to your project, you would only need a sync

license. If you wanted to use the original recording, you would need both a sync and a master license. You can not get a master license

without also getting a sync license.

For example, if you wanted to use the song “Walking on Sunshine” in your movie, you would just need a sync license. However, if you

wanted to use the recording of the song “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves, you would also need to acquire a master

license.

Q: Do I need my own label or production company?

No. KLM accepts songs from labels, writers, production companies, artists, managers and agents, rights managers, and anyone else

who legally owns the rights to the material.

Q: My songs are available overseas as well. Is that included?

Sure it is! KLM Distribution is an international company with international services. When your songs are available on our website, they

are available around the world in every country, as long as you own the rights there.

Q: How do I get started?

Signup only takes a minute. By going to the following link (http://www.klmdistribution.com/login.php) and selecting “Licensing Content

Provider” under the signup options, you will be taken through the process quickly so you can get started making your music available to

the world!

Q: My songs are available on the KLM website. What’s next?

KLM has licensing agents with vast connections in the film and television industry that will promote and pitch your songs to TV, film and

video game companies. Your user dashboard contains a “My Songs” link that will show every song you’ve uploaded to the catalog and

the status of each.

Q: How can I tell if a license for my song has been purchased?

You will receive an email notification and a copy of the receipt on your KLM licensing dashboard. The payees you enter on the “Upload

New Song” form will receive their payments and documentation.

Q: Can I pull my songs down from the KLM catalog?

Of course. All you will need to do is fill out the Song Deletion Request form online and your song will be promptly removed from the

system at no charge.

Q: Can I tag my songs to appear on searches with major artists?

We understand that everyone wants to give their music the best chance of placement possible. However, “linking” your song to another

artist is not an option. When producers and music directors look for songs to use in productions, they usually have a very specific sound

in mind. This was part of the planning that went into the KLM catalog functions. With a whopping 27 fields of information, your song is

tagged with a huge amount of detail, meaning that licensees will get exactly what they are looking for. If even one of your fields match

the search, your song will show up for their review.

Q: Where can I get more information?

Beats and Music

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 23:21:00 +0000

For as long as I can remember, people have been asking me for "beats" so they could practice thier rhymes or make a demo. I'm so OG with it, i remember beating on cars in the hood, or walls in school while cats would rhyme and battle. When I got to NY at 20 yrs old, I had to make a decision as to what my life what be about, good or bad. Music was the only thing I thought I could pursue in life and at least ENJOY what I'm doing. So I learned to make beats and record.....and it seemed that no matter what I went through in NYC, music and my mission to BECOME someone that made it, never abandonded me, nor I it.

So while I'm trying to Become a musical artist from nothing, young people in Harlem would ask me for beats. Had a couple of records recorded that got some radio airplay on NYC's Hot 97...stuff like that.

Hung out at The Pit, a spot on 165th and Teller in the Bronx doin street demo's for the hood cats. Looking back it was kinda fun, my NYC years (except that whole marriage thing, another story)

But I ain't Puff Daddy. (He will always be Puffy to me!)

I get more satisfaction in HELPING would be artists DEVELOP into actual artists.

I like remaining true to the creative spirit.

I like coming together with people to actually MAKE SOMETHING UNIQUE, the very definition of creative artisrty. In doing so, if done to the best of our ability, progress, financial and otherwise, is sure to take care of itself.

So for those of you that are into being creative through music, I will continue to offer what I do in the for of beats. I'll only charge a couple of bucks for the download (those of you that really know me know that I'll probably send you one or two for free if you got skillz!) but the ringtones are free if you are into that kind of thing.

I will continue to make them and post them on my sites so that if anyone has the tiniest motivation to be creative, and they hear a track that I've done and like it, it can be downloaded and you can make your demo, write your song, do your dance routine in school, call your sons bluff when he talk about being a rapper but he just need beats, (LOL),

And i can continue to make them in a free and creative spirit knowing that someone, somewhere may be inspired to express themselves in a way they didn't know they could.
