Things you should know

A music synchronization license, or "sync" for short, is a music license granted by the holder of the copyright of a particular composition, allowing the licensee to synchronize music with some kind of visual media output (film, television shows, advertisements, video games, accompanying website music, movie trailers, etc).

The rights to a composition or the "song", which is different from the studio sound recording, are most often administered by the publishing company that represents the writer/producer. A sound recording has two separate copyrights:

  1. the sound recording itself, also called the master sound recording; this is most often owned or administered by the record label;
  2. the composition of the musical work, which consists of the underlying lyrics and melody written by the songwriter; this is most often owned or administered by the music publisher.

As one of the most powerful assets to using social media, artists can develop a stronger relationship with their fanbases.
