This is great. I know it's an older video but so many people talk about sync music - do this, don't do that - but being able to hear music that was composed specifically for sync licensing is super beneficial. Of course TV shows and movies are a great source to hear what's being used but being new to sync licensing it's still a bit tricky trying to train yourself to ONLY listen to the music and NOT to watch the program or listen to the dialog. 😂 Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this tip. I've been making beats for years but never knew about how to switch it up for TV and film. Every time I tried to place, I never got picked. Good looking out.
This is like THEE blueprint video that provides examples of how to structure tracks for TV placements. I mean, I know you still have to work, and make it sound "right", as opposed to just throwing stuff in there every 4 bars. But the overall basics, of what to do, is spot on.
Amazing Tips bro! now i know why my music is for artist and not muchs libreries are not accepting my music, i will start to work on more music for placements!!
Jesse, this video is extremely helpful. Song-structure for TV and song-structure for an artist is different on so many levels. Thank you. You are appreciated. Blessings🙏 Andie Mar
This is great info thank you thank you!!!! I really gone work on my beats. Cuz i really want to make music for movies. Thats is one of my mean goals!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I'm getting started in the TV placement arena. It's different but I like it. You've provided some great info that I can definitely take onboard. Thanks so much and the tracks are dope!!
Pretty soon, I'm about to take this journey. I've got the business side of things taken care of, but never understood the edited version of what the music should actually sound like ( switching up every 4 bars). This is exactly the vid I was looking for, straight to the point, (listening to your music examples). Thank you, you showed me the path, I will now walk. I am now a subscriber 😀👍
That was real nice stuff Jesse! It was one of the questions I've had about TV and Film music. You're statement about writing pop, hip-hop songs for artists was sooo correct especially about how they're structured. This was in my opinion, invaluable information! This will definitely aid me in my film & Tv music writing 😎👍 Thx again for your always great tips bro.
Hi Jesse. I'm new to sync and have been researching cue structure. I get that editors will be chopping up the song to suit their needs. So, would a cue composition RULE be: No tempo changes and no key changes? Thanks for any info.
Thanks for your videos. I want to get into making music for tv and commercials like you. your tracks are really good. and I dont even like Dubstep great job
Honest question. Do you feel proud/passionate/enthusiastic about the music you make for sync? Or is it more of feeling of "a job well done" sorta professional pride?
GREAT question! I'd say it depends on the cue I do. Some I'm very proud and passionate about from a creative standpoint. Other times I'm more "professionally happy" with my music because it served a client's needs. Bottom line, it's a pretty complicated answer 🤪
thanks for your great videos. I have one question the answer to which I haven't found in your invaluable videos yet: Presuming that all these tracks should be registered with some music rights organisation… What is your method to come up with track titles?
@@SyncMyMusic Hey, many thanks for your prompt and helpful answer. Ah, damned, I was planning on naming a title „cereal for Consumption". ;) That might actually be a creative one, but I am only kidding and very appreciative of your response. Thanks & keep up the good work.
Great tip. Actually i have a question. Can you have your songs released with distrokid for example and after that send them to a library or each library has their own type of deal accepting terms?
So is it recommended to use an entirely different melody if u use a swell or riser transition or stick with the same melody but with a different instrument or variation ??
Great video.. Do you use templates within your DAW to speed up your production process? if so, any tips for this style of production. I'm making the transition from tracks for artist, to tracks for TV placement consideration.
Great tracks man. I appreciate your content. I'm writing mostly rock stuff. If I'm going to write an album of say, 10 songs to pitch, should I stick with one main drum kit, bass and rhythm guitar sound to keep all the pitched tracks consistent with the rhythm section? I'd obviously use some different guitar tones for any fills/leads and varying keys/synths for melodies, or textures. Basically, should the album you're going to pitch, have a similar sound and vibe across all the tracks, or mix it up?
I usually use the same drum samples for the entire album, but I'll switch up the guitar tones and amps every 3 or 4 tracks to ensure there's a variety of sonic appeal on the album. I wish you all the best!
Wow great tracks! for the vocal parts, are those samples or do you actually do your own or hire sessionists? and what sampler do you use to tweak them?
What if i buy a production beat online from a producer does he get some royalties too? Also do I need to purchase an exculsive license from him in order to submit to libraries thanks
Sync My Music i gotcha now splitting wise how much would I have to split or is it up to the producer? Usually some say when u make over a certain amount of money then u split i think but i will have to let the libraries know who produced the beat right?
QuadrantBottomHalf I tried to for days, listened to many man videos but I'm kinda new to all this, so I might not find the right pages/sides. Most of them are fairly discouraging and not giving that usable information. This channel is by far some of the best ones I found.
Jesse, some of those 4 bar phrases have pick-up notes leading into the 4 bar phrases...not sure I understand how the "licensors" deal with choppin' that up....(?) 10-Q
It varies from track to track, but I generally haven't had much push back from Libraries asking me not to include pick up notes before the start of a section.
Music Makes Cash but you're so damn good. If a musician is at your standard, could he/she also make a living touring and stuff? Or is your way to do it not just preferring to have passive income and stay at home, but financially more secure? I have found your channel today, watched a few of your videos and I'm totally amazed.
Sync My Music you should open beatstars account I’m no sponsor for them just a producer trying to make money out my music and your way talented you could be selling your beats on there

Hi Jesse. I'm new to sync and have been researching cue structure. I get that editors will be chopping up the song to suit their needs. So, would a cue composition RULE be: No tempo changes and no key changes? Thanks for any info.
First song seems uh “inspired” by Bro safari - the drop
Thanks for the knowledge!!!
Thanks for your videos. I want to get into making music for tv and commercials like you. your tracks are really good. and I dont even like Dubstep great job
Thank you!
Amazing! Your channel provides an absolute wealth of knowledge. I appreciate your initiative to help others accomplish their dreams/goals! Thank you

@@SyncMyMusic Haha fair enough. Either way it sounds satisfying enough.
More satisfying than the alternative at least -- working some 9-5 job
Great tips Dude ! Much appreciated ! :)
Bangerzzzzzzzz 💯

Presuming that all these tracks should be registered with some music rights organisation…
What is your method to come up with track titles?

@@SyncMyMusic Thanks my friend. Your voice has definitely been inspiring me to try and do this.
great video, great channel. subbed
Welcome Mark!
How long should your songs be that you submit?
2-3 minutes is the usual requested length.
Wow great tracks! for the vocal parts, are those samples or do you actually do your own or hire sessionists? and what sampler do you use to tweak them?
i think you can record the vocals. is better!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! First beat kinda sounds like Bro Safari’s The Drop. Very high energy.
What if i buy a production beat online from a producer does he get some royalties too? Also do I need to purchase an exculsive license from him in order to submit to libraries thanks
You would need to either buy the track outright from him or you would have to split royalties with him.
Sync My Music i gotcha now splitting wise how much would I have to split or is it up to the producer? Usually some say when u make over a certain amount of money then u split i think but i will have to let the libraries know who produced the beat right?
Great tracks! Are you a drummer originally? What's your primary instrument?
I sure am! Played drums for many years and a little guitar as well.
That was helpful
Glad to hear it!
Can you also create regular pop songs and mail them to tv!/movie/commercial industry? Or do those vocals decrease the chance to be chosen?
If want to good a chance to be chosen, do your research and find where the work is.
QuadrantBottomHalf I tried to for days, listened to many man videos but I'm kinda new to all this, so I might not find the right pages/sides. Most of them are fairly discouraging and not giving that usable information. This channel is by far some of the best ones I found.
When you record your songs, record another version without the vocal just in case it can be used for a cue.
Gotta ask man Do you like exclusive libraries vs non-exclusive better? I make beats for tv also
Cre8tiv3 I haven’t even learned all the loops yet, but my mentor told me never limit yourself..
Do you use Omnisphere? I've been thinking about buying this as I heard so much about it, but the price kept me from doing it!
I used to use Omnisphere and LOVED it! These days I'm more into Massive & Sylenth.
Music Makes Cash I just got massive
All those tracks yourz? Nice. *-----Q-----*
Sure are.
How you been bro? Are you still doing sync music?
Of course!
@@SyncMyMusic that's my dream job
Jesse, some of those 4 bar phrases have pick-up notes leading into the 4 bar phrases...not sure I understand how the "licensors" deal with choppin' that up....(?)
10-Q
It varies from track to track, but I generally haven't had much push back from Libraries asking me not to include pick up notes before the start of a section.
What program do you use brother? Logic?
Yessir!
Do you master your songs, yourself?
Yes, every single one in my career.
Would this be considered EDM music?
Yes with various styles within the "EDM" world.
So you never repeat a section?
If I do, I always try to incorporate a new lead, rhythm or instrument that distinguishes it from the previous section.
4:14 was 8 bars
Love your tracks let me play some guitar on some!!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵
All those change up aren't necessary when music in TV and film is brief. Wont be played 3 and a 1/2 minutes like a record.
but you gotta give them options when listening
IF they like what your Are doing They will Call you !
Did anyone else notice that these songs were created in 2013?
Yes those were tracks from a little earlier on in my career.
He literally said that in the video, so yes.
Do you master your own tracks?
Yes - for my entire Licensing career.
Your music is freaking amazing. Why don't you aim at being a Regular performer /dj whatsoever?
Thanks! Because I prefer to work from home and earn passive income royalties.

Touring costs money so you need that and a large audience 1st. Search Wendy Day. She a has a channel with lots of information.
QuadrantBottomHalf thank you so much for answering :)
Bro your music is Great I know your just don’t do just t.v placements
Think Different Music Group thank you! I swear I only do music licensing:)
Lol bro you can making a lot more if put your music out there I know you know that lol why don’t pursue it?
Think Different Music Group Where do you suggest I put my music?
Sync My Music you should open beatstars account I’m no sponsor for them just a producer trying to make money out my music and your way talented you could be selling your beats on there
Think Different Music Group You do know that I license my music to TV shows & commercials right?
Cool tracks, great info. Thanks for posting.
Thanks!
