What is Sync?
HOW TO GET MULTIPLE MUSIC PLACEMENTS: Having your music placed in film, TV, and other media is called "getting sync," which is short for "synchronization." Sync means taking an existing piece of music and matching it up to what's happening in a scene. Creating music for sync is different than writing listening or hit songs or composing custom film scores. Tracey and Vance share insights into getting multiple sync placements over and over again.
CRACK THE SYNC CODE: The book's expansive and well-curated lists of "Sync Speak" (music business terminology), keywords, and resources will equip aspiring composers and songwriters with the knowledge of what's expected when writing for sync. Authors Tracey and Vance Marino struggled for many years trying to crack the "Sync Code." They know firsthand how difficult and frustrating it can be when trying to get music placements in film, TV, commercials, and video games. But they eventually figured out how to write marketable music that gets synced over and over again, and you can, too.
CREATE BROADCAST QUALITY MUSIC: Learn the secrets of how to: write syncable, universal lyrics; create vibey instrumentals; set up a home studio; perform, record, arrange, produce, mix, and expertly master your music so that it's polished, marketable, and broadcast quality.
WHERE TO FIND THE ANSWERS: This guide brings together—in one complete book—all you need to know about writing, recording, arranging, describing, marketing, and monetizing your music. Getting placements in film, TV, and media is not only about writing good music, it's about writing placeable music. And, after you have written placeable music, what do you do with it? Who are the decision-makers, and where do you find them? How do you earn money? This book delivers the answers. You will discover…
