Superbly and professionally well presented in a clear, focused, and direct manner. Very informative and to the point without wasting our time hearing stammering and stuttering and irrelevant lip-flipping like some presenters on TH-cam. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!
Excellent tips for my workflow checklist. Looking forward to seeing some of your other videos.
Thanks so much for this. I'm just ready to submit.
i think something incredibly important to add to your metadata for music libraries is your ISWC code for that song so you can obtain your royalties from the PRO.
ISWC is definitely very important.
The PRO gives you an ID for each song. The ISWC is for the worldwide distribution. It's an international code.
Arcadian ...wow , thanks so much for that info
Answered a lot of questions in such a brief amount of time. Seriously thank you. Subbed.
Glad we could help! Thanks for the sub!
@@TheModernMusician Yes , this is a great channel and i'm definitely going to be recommending you to a number of people who absolutely have done nothing to protect themselves and think that because they put a video of their music up on TH-cam that they are legally protected ... but are not copyrighted or anything else .
Very well done! So helpful, too.
This is much needed info for me, Thanks !!!
So glad!
Thank you for the video and the list... Peace
Your presentation on the music library was absolutely awesome!
Thank you Walter!
Very well explained .. thanks !
Thank You!

Very helpful information. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
this video actually is goated
Very good info. Thanks.
You're welcome
Excellent info.Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial thxxxx …
Nice work
THANKS!!!
Well done, thank you! Is it necessary to wait for the codes to come back from the PRO before submitting to a library?
thank you
Thanks very much!!!
You're welcome!
FIRST: deposit them
You forgot the most important metadata of all, your ISRC and ISWC codes!!
Useful video, thank you! On your point 'submit, submit, submit' - presumably if some of these libraries are exclusive, you can't submit the same songs to other libraries? How does this work? Many thanks!
Anyone can recommend good non exclusive music licensers? Or really good exclusive ones?
Thanks for the listing you have provided. Very Detailed.
I wanted to ask. Besides registering your song with a PRO, can you distribute your songs via a distributor (tunecore,cdbaby,distrokid) and simultaneously upload to music Libraries? Without any issues at all?
Yes, you can do that
0:39 - "....properly registered with you PRO...' I'm pretty sure that's wrong. I've only dealt with two libraries so far, but both say DON'T register with the PRO beforehand. If you register before you have a publisher, you have to enter yourself as the publisher. That means the library can't register their own publishing interest until you remove or amend the other registration, which is more work and more delay. Or they may create a duplicate registration, which is all sorts of hassle.
One note: If you have non-exclusive deals with libraries, you register the songs with yourself as the publisher. (Those non-exclusive libraries will use different titles, which is a whole other problem.)
I've heard that you should avoid libraries that don't want you to have a PRO.
Great video thank you, i have a question. I have a wide range of compositions and im not sure what to call the album when adding to metadata? Can you advise?
Thanks in advance 🙂
hi! nice video! i have a question, safe creative is a PRO??
Is it necessary for the song to be on a DSP for sync / library submission?
Just learning because I think I have 3-5 worthy tracks so your ok if your looking for me while I am looking for you
This is a great resource to follow-up on. Is this list of libraries updated? It's currently Sept. 2021...just checking and thank you!
Thank you! Haven't updated in some time but will take a look soon!
Do you need to register your music with a PRO if you're submitting it to a non royalty library such as pond5???
Question. Is there a service that I can put my music on where I can post a link to my music on (not sound cloud). If you were a Sync Library - I want one link I can send to you and you hear my music only.
Excellent informative video. What if you’re just starting out and don’t have a website? Should you submit to music libraries anyway?
Yes you can, why not!
is it obvious that I should have a little library of music put together first before I start submitting to libraries?
It would definitely be good to have a small library so you an offer more, and increase you chances.
Do I have to copyright my music before submitting??
What about the cover songs. Did we have to share each income
That is up to the agreement between the musicians performing the cover, one could pay all other musicians and own the rights of the recorging, as a work for hire, but you could also share.
So where does 'copyright your music' come into this?
You music is copyrighted the moment you make it, copyrighting is not required, although if someday you need to prove your copyright it will be a lot easier if you had your copyright registered at the U.S. Copyright Office.
Wav files do not hold metadata
I’m using Wavelab and Audacity to export WAV files with metadata
Can I submit to music libraries if my track is already on Spotify?
Interesting question ...
Yes you can but for libraries or arrangements that are non-exclusive. This means you can have it released as a record but also allow someone to use it in an ad or other sync opportunity. Many publishers will "exploit" music in their catalogs from famous artists, which is why you will here music from MC Hammer in a commercial. :)
I have a question so when I register my music to my PRO, should I register it only as a writer before submitting to a Music library or should I submit as both Writer and Publisher before submitting?
If you are the Publisher then you should register it as Publisher too.
FWIW, it's not "K-B-Pees" but rather K-B-P-S - Kilo Bytes Per Second.
Thank you
You bet. Cheers! Thank you for the content!
Does the narrator know what "KPBs" stand for?
This is all great info though, for real
I don't see copywriter anywhere
most of the libraries in your list are dead already, sadly !
Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray amen.
Thank You!
