Takeaways
1. The least expected tracks and the power of networking could bring you great surprises.
2. Music Supervisors look for everything, depending on what they are working on. It could be a massive hit or just instrumentals. You just have to get your music to their ears.
3. Instrumentals are safer to place. When you have lyrics it becomes more specific. Always make sure to have an instrumental version of your song and the stems. The more tracks you have the more placements you can get.
4. If you want to place your music on TV/Film you have to be careful with samples and Splice. Even though Splice is royalty free, you can’t use them in isolation. It can ruin your deal.
5. A great way to build credits in music licensing is to do music for film students.
6. Sometimes you can hear covers on film trailers; music trailer companies and specific composers are hired for that. They rarely pick an indie artist’s cover for placement.
