What is metadata anyway?
Metadata is information encoded within an audio file to provide data relating to the audio itself.
In simple terms, metadata includes song title, artist name, and duration. It can also include details about writers, royalty splits, and contact information, and - this is key for sync - a list of descriptive words about the song's mood, tone, and other details.
In a typical scenario, a music supervisor looking for a specific type of music will go to a music library. They provide a list of descriptive terms to communicate the type of song they want, such as high-energy, anthemic, upbeat, or high-vibe. The music library then searches its catalog for songs that match these attributes and sends the most suitable options to the supervisor.
Having accurate, detailed metadata in your songs is crucial. It maximizes your chances of your songs being considered for sync placements that they are perfectly suited for.
