The Sync-Ready Song Audit

Prepare one of your key tracks for the world of sync licensing in two days.

This hyper-focused 2-day challenge walks you through the essential administrative and descriptive work to make one of your songs easily discoverable and licensable by music supervisors.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1: Metadata & Rights VerificationSelect one released song. Verify it is registered with your PRO with 100% complete writer and publisher information. Then, use an AI tool, as discussed in 'AI for Musicians,' to generate 15-20 descriptive keywords for the track (moods, instruments, themes). This is your emotional resonance data.
  2. Day 2: Targeted Supervisor ResearchDefine the song's emotional core in one sentence (e.g., 'This song captures the feeling of quiet optimism after a setback'). Research two TV shows or films that have used music with a similar feeling. Find the names of the music supervisors for those projects. This prepares you for a targeted pitch, a key tactic from the Growth & Audience pillar.
