She said PROs don't collect performing royalties globally. That is not true. Can you explain why she would say that because you agreed with her.

This is a superbly insightful video/interview Eric, Mark is eloquent and so knowledgeable, put's his info across in a clear and concise manner. Brilliant

Eric, fabulous video! One thing that wasn’t even mentioned is that SongTrust offers occasional promotional discounts to sign up with them? At least they used to?

Love from the 305❤

great songs? I'd say great SOUNDING songs are more important these days as music is so subjective

After spending 4 years trying to go direct to music supervisors, I have given up. Like they said, music supervisors get 1000s of emails everyday. What the sync license course sellers don't tell you is that music sups already have their trusted pipeline of music publishers and libraries that they work with. To try and break in as an unknown is virtually impossible. It's like dating sites, 90% men compete for the 10% of women. Artists are the 90%. I would bet that most artists don't even know the type of placements there are. Music Sups don't want to waste their time hand holding artists. Good luck with Disco.

you can't embed much meta data in a wav, you need to use aiff or mp3

Fantastic service.

Trying to download your checklist it won’t allow me to

Should I go with Pond5 publishing or should o use song trust for registering non exclusive cues?

Thank you

Hey, please do they create a spotify artist page or apple artist page for you?

Hey Eric... Please if my yearly payment has ended and i don't resubscribe will my music stay up on platforms?

Im a bit confused. You say its a great site and we should all start there but then you say at 14:17 "your not going to make any income from stock music that's used for youtube or a stock corporate presentations". Then towards the end you say your total profit from this site for the year was $13.00. Did I miss something?

All great ideas, stock music is still my main objective for now. I've heard really bad things about beatstars anyway

I have 2-1/2 years before retirement. Upon retirement I want to compose full time. Unfortunately, my current job takes 11 hours of my day. So I have basically nothing left to give to music during a normal day. This video will give me some ideas for the future. I hope you have some free time because I would like to schedule a coaching call with you to help me sort all this out. I feel overwhelmed right now!! 😄😄

Thank you so much for your honest unbiased review. Appreciate this and will not be wasting my time nor my money.

I would just like to add that I do alot of music tutoring. I also do youth work with young people, through my local council in the UK. I get paid a steady wage for this, which helps to keep the lights on.

TIL Eric's first CD was a Bobby Brown album ;)

yeah? ask Sarah Connor (SkyNet?) WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! 🤖

Unless I missed it, I don't think you actually clarified what you mean by 'getting on board with ai'. Do you mean you'll be generating songs via ai prompts, or do you mean something else?

what keyboard model is that with the light up keys?

Eric I agree with everything you said. We have had huge changes that have made significant changes to the music business. I would say the difference, I see, with AI is the ability to create. All the changes you described were in the storage, collection and distribution of content. AI brings a new wrinkle of being able to create content. Not sure how this will work out in the end, but as creators we just have to keep creating

I am an illustrator cartoonist and I show my work on DVR not trying to do a free ad there but I do want to say that my site DNR allows me to do a dream up AI visual and although a initially reluctant, I have now used it for about a month and came up with about 12 to 15 images that I don’t plan to sell anywhere but what it does do is allow me to come up with my vision Add to then have it rendered in a way that is either beyond my virtual skill level or it would take me too many hours and cost me too much money so these images are sort of like free giveaways that I do for my DVR page as well as my Facebook and Instagram accounts with no intention of selling really good show. I love what you’re saying and I totally agree. Yeah it’s just creatives. Really worry about this as a threat. Thanks again. Keep up the good work man keep teaching that’s wonderful.

Can they get you in apple music classical? (I’ve seen your other video).

I meant to say licensing opportunities.

I worked for Taxi for about 5 years, and I never heard of anyone in all that time who had a license cover. It’s great that you finally left.

Nailed it!

I have about 6 videos on TH-cam that i have lost loggins for. There's no way i can get the channel back and i live in regions not yet available for TH-cam monetization system. So the only way to get some revenue the channel generate when monetized, is through content ID.

This video was made 2 years ago. This system has been and will continue to be improved. But all of what he said are valid points

Great video, Eric! Good to see there's someone else who's not a panic-stricken, pearl-clutching sheeple. Sorry, I'll end here before I get myself triggered.😎

Another superb presentation Eric👍👍

(The SSL2 interface looks to be a decent deal). I am not careful about own my music. Nearly all of it is released under Creative Commons Licenses I create. I uncheck the Content Id box when distributing music. I want nothing to do with TH-cam's and corporation's content Id systems. There are more well meaning people making content and will likely never make coin. If they can use some of my music that is fine will me. Freely distributed handmade original Commons music without any hitches can find a home. Seems a busy space, how long, I do not know. AI is already taking away craft, ruining the internet, unleashing more ridiculous bad content, including stupid ads. It is hit or miss wether it ever creates interesting AI art. Access to AI creation tools are like playing poker, saving points or chips. I would go as far to say AI companies adopt a gaming model. It makes sense as these learning models revolve around probability

Can you legally sell Copyrighted music on Sellfy? Thanks

More inspiration for me to do the same! 👍🏽

Hey, so signed up for Disco. I tested the internal email system by emailing my other email account and it went into my spam folder. How do we get around this happening with the professionals that we are contacting?

How do I activate my account they keep telling me is user must be active, pls what should I do about it ?

Thanks, Eric! I would dare to add a few words to the topic, though. Today I got my answer from the Identifyy REVIEW team, saying that: "Unfortunately, our REVIEW team was unable to approve your submission as we need to see that your tracks have a significant online presence, as this is a vital component for us to generate revenue together. Please feel free to resubmit your music to us when your catalog generates online traffic, viewership, and streams 📈". To this I will add that I had submitted 5 songs that have at least 200 views each on my YT Artist Channel, and I had more. For your information, CDBaby would commit to the same percentages, 70-30, as for my latest information about it. Thank you once again! ❤

So what are we musician going to do. Just evaporate? AI cannot create on it own, it has to have someone show it what music is then give examples. Humans are still the creative force behind it. Maybe was used to be called elevator type music. But really creative music no. The marginal will have a hard time but if your a good musician electronic or not you will survive maybe with less competition. Lol

His smile is not that creepy, LOL

Yep

Make video on bbtv or haawk for 3 party

Great Content guys!! 💯

Wow. I Needed this. Thanks.

Marcus is the real deal! And thanks for the shout-out!
