Useful information for gaining maximum recognition from your musical works
Embarking on a music career is exciting, but one should not forget the importance of metadata and music credits.
Although not on everyone's lips, they are vital to the success of every creative figure in the music industry.
In the digital age, this information is embedded and encoded directly in audio files and used to organize, promote and monetize music.
Let's explore this often overlooked but fundamental topic for those behind sound creation, namely:
● Correct metadata
● Music credits
● Royalties
Importance of Correct Metadata and Music Credits
Understanding Metadata:
● Metadata includes essential information such as the title, artist and release date of a song.● They are essential to receive the correct royalties and to make your music easily identifiable.
Importance of Music Credits:
● Accrediting collaborators correctly promotes positive relationships and protects your intellectual property rights.● It helps build a professional reputation and can lead to new job opportunities.
Sources of Royalties and Revenues:
● Royalties can come from sales, public performances, sync licences and streaming.● Understanding these sources is essential to keep the financial situation of the music industry stable.
As you seek success in your music career, do not neglect metadata and credits. They are the allies that will help you get the royalties you deserve and foster professional relationships in the music industry.

Insight: In the second issue of Music Producer Newsletter I posted a list of books on the world of production as seen through the eyes of producers and sound engineers.

In these readings you can discover the fascinating stories of those who shaped the iconic tracks of our favourite songs.
Of all of them, I find the book Recording Unhinged: Creative and Unconventional Music Recording Techniques written by Sylvia Massy very interesting and entertaining.
