How To Submit To Music Libraries [Sync Academy Tutorial] 

This channel is a god send..you have motivated me more than ever and I have been successful with 3 music libraries, so far...Thank you!!!!

Critical video! Amazing stuff brother.

been watching you for over a year now & finally got a list of sync libraries to access & songs to submit. appreciate your gems.

You made this for me!!!! Love you fam. You and Rob Level are National Treasures

Jeez dude... SOLID. THANK YOU.

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice. I took copious notes.

Tons of great tips. Thanks so much. Clarifies the process.

Great content.I love your Polka reference (not first time hearing it) might be a good quote for some merch haha.

Quick question. You mention to stay away from oversaturated and extremely undersaturated genres. How do we quantify that? Is there a number of songs that would be considered oversaturated or undersaturated? How to measure it? Thanks!

Thanx for sharing man.!!!

This video helped me a lot, thank you very much. I have a question, should I register my music and have the copyright before contacting those clients and showing my work?

Great content! Thanks

So many gems!

i appreciate you mate....getting that sync edge soon

Thanks Jesse. Awesome and complete as always. I have a specific question though. When you’re sending a solicitation email to a library for the first time, do you link to a SoundCloud page with all of your titles, or do you pick 2-3 best songs in genres that relate to them as a separate, private upload?

Thank you 🙏

Thanks for sharing this! Just a couple of questions left: this video has been shared almost 2 years ago; right now in 2022, would you suggest increasing the timeline for waiting for the library response, or do we need to stick to the same formula: submission - 1-2 weeks waiting for a reply - follow up - 1 more week of waiting before moving to another library? And the second question, if the library did not reply anything to your first submission, would you suggest reaching them again after some time with another album? Thanks in advance!

Hey Jesse, is this more about instrumentals or also finished songs w lyrics... specifically the 10-12 track album info

can you do multiple versions of the same piece of music? so to provide different sound or mix of the music to a potential client? or do you have to provide individual tracks of the music so they can tweak the production/sound? can you make say a basslne that gets picked up for use on hip-hop track?

This was really useful Jesse, thanks! Even though I've been reaching out to libraries for some time now, there're some really great tips in here to better manage my submissions and really harpoon future attempts. I'd just like your opinion on this... There're alot of cinematic libraries out there that simply DO NOT list any submission or contact info for composers, would you recommend going ahead and contacting them by whatever email address is provided? I wouldn't want to spam or have my work seem unsolicited.

do u have a video about song structure for TV Film?

Is there a distinction between stock music like pond 5 and audiojungle, and libraries that offer licenses for film and tv? Do the latter give you more creative freedom as opposed to sticking to one production style?

Thanks for the video, Jesse. Now I have a positive guitar song with a vocal. Do you know any good libraries for that style? Are there any libraries that only the chorus can be sent to (without other parts of song)?

A lot of channels that talk about sync licensing only state producers. How does an artist get into these programs ?

When you say have a full album, should it NOT be on the streaming platforms?

First thank you for all the amazing advice and tools. I have a question when a library accepts your songs. Does that mean you are in contract with them to produce more songs for them ? What’s the average amount of tracks you need to provide to them per month or year ?

You must have made this video specific for me my research has been a pretty rough

Do you offer consulting or mentorship one on one for film scoring placements?

Anyone can answer this but speaking of albums, I have a couple albums I put out through cdbaby. Can I use those albums for Sync libraries or does it have to be unreleased?

Hi there, which PRO should I use when I live in Germany? I don't know yet where my possible royalties are coming from. Or doesn't it matter? Thanks for your time.

Jesse, I am retired but still produce 2 or 3 albums a year. Is there any path for me in the business of submitting to music libraries if I only produce full songs with vocals, not instrumentals or orchestral music? They say do what you are good at, and that is what I am good at. Also, can you still sell your own music on your own website and/or Distrokid with some non exclusive libraries? BTW, your videos are excellent.

I would like to sign up for the academy. How do I ????

After you submit a track can you still use it on your own?

Just a quick question: Is the process for submitting as a recording artist the same as when submitting as a producer? Thanks for the content!

🔥🔥🔥🔥👍😎👽

it is safe to assume that you need to copyright your music before submitting to a library? from an artist's perspective.

Is there a fee to submit your music to libraries?do u need to pay for a sync license? Seems everybody asking for money

Also im a syncedge member where is the review section?

Can I release my songs and submit to sync libraries?

Can I send a track to you.

The Hallmark Channel has a lot of songs that fall under romantic pop.
