I'm a singer so this is great news for me lol I have been working on instrumental tracks for 2 months thinking they would be more easily placed than vocal tracks... Thank you for the great content, I learn so much from your channel 🥰
Very good lesson Jesse looking forward to 2023
Good to hear because i been coming up with hook and 2 verse for my songs good to know its other faster ways thanks again Jesse
I'm very glad you brought this up Jesse, as I've def seen more and more of this. I'm a singer of many styles that can lyric up and melodic out like this if anyone needs my services. Thanks again for all you do J!!
So informative Jesse I always wondered if we had to actually write a full song or if we were able to do things like this. Wow looks like fun.
Great insight! Thank you so much
Oh dude I feel the energy has such a vibe, looking forward to seeing who places that one 🚀🚀💜💜
Right on Jesse. I'm still here. thank you . the never surrender dude. Peace man
Sweet! I've added vocals to a lot of my tracks in the past but was told they weren't wanted/needed so i took them off. Now i can get back to that! Thx Jesse! 👌
As always great advice Thx
Great info!
Would you say that this trend extends to underscore and other genre focused library music as well, or is it mostly something you’re seeing in the corporate/advertising space?
Advertising and trailers are the main areas where this is becoming more common, but many TV dramas are also using full songs as well.
Using vocal chops/vocal samples is also a great way to add the human voice element to parts of a song. I am blessed to be a singer/composer/producer all in one. I got a very positive critique on a song I submitted in Pro Feedback with some of my vocals I chopped up.
Isn't it weird to have such a empty cue with just simple elements and some drums until the chorus hits? I'm referring to the first song you showed. Wouldn't it be better to start the song with the chorus then?
That's not a bad idea at all!
Nice!
“I feel your energy” could be used for a Red Bull commercial 🤷♀️
Definitely!
Energy...could get placed in an ad for electric cars or solar panels or something to that effect
This is fascinating - do you see this trend for more downbeat genres/moods?
No I still think that uptempo tracks will be getting the majority of TV placements this year.
Where do you find vocalists? Also, do you have the vocalists sign something stating that you get the writing credit so there's no confusion there?
I'm working on that very problem right now in Sync Academy.
Jessie is right when he says vocalists can be hard to work with. I suggest going to see people sing in churches or bars. Get to know a couple slowly and see are they open to work. I've seen very famous singers who are humble and team players and then, absolute nobodies who want you to experience their vision! If you get someone who sings your songs well and who you can work with, offer them a cut of your songs if they sell or pay them a nominal fee if you got the money.
I sing, play three instruments and self produce and write my own material. Any singer with an ounce of sense will know every song they do is another chance to be noticed.
Good luck!
@@BossLevelAudio24 Thx!
There's LOTS of vocal bits like that and longer on Splice. Very catchy stuff. And if anyone needs a full song vocal with lyric, there are plenty of freelance vocalists for hire on the Internet who actually can produce their own vocals, and you can work with them 100% remotely. And they're actually not that expensive.
I'm going to make a video on using those Splice vocal samples as they CAN cause problems for us.
@@SyncMyMusic Technically, Splice's TOS indicates that one, as an author, is free to use any sample or preset on the website without being obligated to pay royalties or even giving credit as long as the subscription is active or has been manually suspended. One loses the rights to the samples is there's no money on the card at the monthy time of payment.
Still, I tend to refrain from using overly melodic stuff out of an abundance of caution. I never use lead melodies, chord progressions or long vocal parts with lyrics, only tiny bits, adlibs and percussion stuff.
@@LesPaul2006 It's not the legal authority that concerns me (you're free to use those samples). It's the frivolous lawsuits that can be thrown at you from other producers. I'll explain more when I upload that video.
@@SyncMyMusic The other choice we have is the obvious choice: Get a couple compressor, saturation and tune plugins, a nice condenser mic, a pop filter, some sound proofing, half a shot of vodka, a little bit of courage and perhaps a vocal lesson or two. I've tried it before, and sometimes it worked nicely, once you get over the fear :)
Can't remember the site but there's one featuring freelance singers you can work remotely with. Problem I found was they want 400 bucks for one song which is a big investment for a song that might go nowhere. Also, the mics they record on are under 100 dollars so the frequency response is poor to say the least. I'm an asstant recording engineer. Frequency response just means how well the low to high tones of someone's vocals are captured and reproduced. It's like 1080 video vs 4k high definition.
One thing I'm concerned about is that the vocal songs are easily recognizable. Imagine that a cue is being placed in a huge ad-compaign (which doesn't necessarily have to generate a big backend, btw). Is it likely it will be licensed again soon? Oh, btw - lovely produced tracks, they sound modern and contemporary. My kudos to the authors and wish them great placements!
Certainly a good point, but if it comes down to getting just 1 of those huge ad campaigns or not, I'd rather get it.
I wouldn't worry too much about that! I have literally heard 'Comes In Colours' by Rolling Stones in soo many films, tv shows and ads its mad
Hey Jesse, do you think there's a downside to recording vocals for the verses too? I usually am writing full "songs" with lyrics (still keeping them sort of broad like you mentioned though). I know some libraries specialize in full songs with vocals, are they also chasing this trend of having chorus-only vocals?
If you can create full songs w/ verses even better! This was just an example how it's possible to add minimal vocals to your tracks and make them more licensable.
Do I still pitch these cues as instrumentals? Since they are not full songs, is there a label/cue type for this type of submission? Up till now, I’ve only had libraries asking for full songs OR instrumental cues w/ non lyrical vocal chops.
It kinda depends on how the Library wants to classify them, but generally these WOULD be considered vocal cues.
Jesse what SHOWS/games/films have you heard these PLACED on? I've not noticed any yet. Full vocals sure. Ad libs yes. {PSEUDIO SAMPLE PACK VOCALS -= NO!
Also Alibi is a micro sync library with a blanket licence. So they're going to have all sorts of millions of dregs listed.
And let's remember one can do a full vocal and when they pay for the stems, they can mute the vocals, or use 1 line repeatedly or what ever.
Also most singers I know aren't going to want to do 1 line, or worse a session of 20 x 1 liners.
But show me the money! What shows have used this?
The style is also going to severely limit the scenes that this can go with. Nothing periodic, historic, retro. The higher percentage of things are set in the past, or in the future.
And in advertising I've done, they tend to want to control the words said, so it's nearly always a custom favour.
Thank you Jesse. I'm also a vocalist and love to write for voice however I'm not the best lyricist. This is a great tip to keep it simple and as generic as possible. That sounds very doable.
A great way to adapt and use AI is to use ChatGPT to generate many of these hook ideas for brainstorming, choosing the broadest ones.
