Just checked their FAQ for Tunecore Sync Licensing. It says they actually encourage you to pitch your music elsewhere even if you're a Tunecore Sync Licensing client. So did they change their terms? From the sounds of your video it sounds like them gaining exclusive rights was the main drawback.
Sync licensing is profitable. Pitching directly to music supervisors is the way to go. The problem for me, no matter how good your music is, they will rarely work with an unknown composer no matter the quality of the music. If your music is needed and fits the project you’ll get a placement. If it’s not needed just knocking on their door with quality music they will ignore you. You have to keep going over and over knocking and knocking until somebody finally answers.
Hey how’s it going. I’m new to your channel and just wanted to ask a quick question. Do you happen to have a video or know from your experience on how long some of these tracks should be? So for like music related to tv, films, podcast music, etc. Just trying to get a feel of this since I’m trying to get into the Music Licensing industry. Thanks and love the videos you make and especially during these hard times.
Great Content. I am building my music catalog for Film and TV. I got 15 to 30 second snippets. Do I have to run those through BMI before sending them to music supervisors and others?
Awesome! Right on time. I was just about to send you an email about this. I am with Tunecore publishing now it's coming up on a year. I just started making money with them because 2 of my tracks has been chosen and used through RUclips music library. But listening to you for the past year has me on the fence with staying or leaving them. I am a firm believer in X-ing out the middleman. I'm going with you Jesse. I'm signing up with your program in April. Thank you for your consistency, honesty and information 🤙🏽
@@SyncMyMusic I just spent like 10 hours submitting every song I have through their sync licensing thing. I’m hoping it ends up okay. Watching the rest of the video to see what’s up!
Hello, Jesse. That was a great podcast. Everything that you mention about staying in this business, whether it'll make you or break you I've experienced all of that. I'm just recently got into. Understanding the TV and film placement. the tracks have to be good and they have to sound different. Other than doing music for an artist. I definitely got that. Because I do music. I'm looking forward to being in the music licensing business. Because it's a thing that's long-term. And when the music is good, you know a person would know when they are accepted by a company. So I thank you once again for your information. I've haven't had a chance to watch the podcast. But every time I watch them, I get something really good out of it really good. So thank you so much continued success and I'm working on my catalog right now as I speak. Take Care, thank you.
thanks for the information! quick question say you have registered to tunecore pub administration does that mean all the music you release for now on has to be registered to them. Or can u decide what songs you register with them?? Or you cant register new songs with a different pub admin??
As far as I understand it, no you're not signed to Tunecore in that they can claim your future releases. They only take distribution for the tracks you send them. You should be free to submit new tracks to other publishers and/or music libraries as you wish.
This is so silly. If you reach out directly to a library, you're also one of hundreds of thousands, only this time you have zero representation or credibility. You're just a random dude asking for a hand out. TV and film libraries work with labels and other large companies to help them sift through the garbage before they take interest. I wholeheartedly disagree
@@SyncMyMusic Reached out to several over several months. Only replies I got were "no thank you's", and "we're not looking for new artists at this time", and that was if I got a response at all. The one placement I have gotten though was through a label who had a connection to a library. Nothing to do with me emailing them directly.

Depends on what your business is. If you want to do Sync Licensing seriously, no I don't recommend you sign up with Tunecore publishing.

@@SyncMyMusic thanks for the speedy reply appreciate you!
Look at SURRENDER on my instagram
If I signed up for tune core publishing admin already, does that mean I am stuck with them as my publisher?
Check your contract with them. I'm not sure if there's a renewal date that you can opt to get out of it.

Have you worked directly with production music libraries?
