METADATA
The key to getting the BEST sync placements for your music!
What is metadata anyway?
Metadata is the information that you encode within your audio file to provide data relating to the file itself. This information includes all the normal things we're used to seeing on our car stereos or wherever else - song title, artist name, duration etc.
Other important metadata includes information about writers and royalty splits, and of course contact details, so that if anyone randomly happens on your song and wants to place it somewhere they will be able to contact you. It's also pretty important to include writer and copyright info too.
When it comes to sync, there's another type of metadata too - and this metadata comes in the form of descriptive words that explain the mood, feeling, tone and other details about the song.
A typical sync scenario would be that a music supervisor (who will typically be choosing the song or music being placed) approaches a music library with a list of metadata in relation to what kind of song/music they want. Think: slow tempo, brooding, dark, female vocal, pensive, cinematic... and so on.
The music library will then search through their catalog and draw out all the songs they represent with the same metadata and send this selection of songs to the music supervisor as options for placement..
That's a super-simplified version of the process, but you can see:
It is vitally important that you have accurate, detailed metadata for your songs and music so that they stand the very best chance of being chosen for sync placements they are perfectly suited for.
So what are the different types of metadata?
How do you know what metadata terms to choose for each song?
And how would you embed metadata in your files anyway?
Well, the answers to all of those questions are within this mini-course:
