The One-Stop Catalog Audit

In 5 days, make one song perfectly 'sync-ready' from an administrative standpoint.

This challenge puts publishing theory into practice. You will select one song from your catalog and perform a complete administrative audit, culminating in a 'one-stop package' ready to send to a music supervisor.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Select one song. Locate or create a split sheet detailing 100% of the composition's writers and their ownership shares. If you are the sole writer, create one for yourself.
  2. Day 2Confirm the song is registered with your PRO. Log in to your member portal and verify the writers and percentages match your split sheet exactly.
  3. Day 3(AI Step) Use an AI assistant to generate a comprehensive metadata sheet for the song. Include BPM, key, lyrical themes, and at least five 'mood' keywords (e.g., 'brooding,' 'anthemic,' 'introspective').
  4. Day 4(Emotional Resonance Step) Write a 'Liner Note' for the song: a 1-2 sentence pitch describing its core feeling and an ideal scene placement (e.g., 'For the moment a character decides to leave their old life behind.').
  5. Day 5Create a new folder on your computer. Add the master WAV, instrumental WAV, the split sheet, the metadata PDF, and a text file with your 'Liner Note.' This is your sync package.
