Who Clears My Music Samples?
Posted by Montigo
0
By Heather McDonald, told on About.com
Question: Who Clears My Music Samples?
This
advice is general in nature and not intended to take the place of legal
advice. You should seek legal advice before entering into a contract
with publishers and master owners. Further, keep in mind that the
specifics of your own circumstance may be different.
Answer:
If you use a sample in your music, you must receive sample
clearance before you can release it for sale - or at least, you should.
Most record labels won't touch a record with uncleared samples, and even
if you are going the DIY route, failing to clear the samples you use
leaves you open to considerable legal trouble.
Clearing music samples is an absolute must, but it is not always the
easiest process in the world. There are two parties you have to deal
with: the owner of the master and the publisher. Samples are not subject
to compulsory
licenses, which means that either party can deny your use of the
sample - and you need them both on board to legally use your sample.
Before you can get sample clearance, you have to record the song, so
the record label that owns the master and publisher can see how you plan
to use it. Not only do they simply want to make sure they are ok with
the song, they also want to see how much you use the original recording.
This helps them determine the price they will charge you for using the
recording.
In terms of pricing, the owners and publishers have pretty free reign
to charge you what they want. The label/master owner will usually want
an advance plus a royalty on all sales. The publisher will want partial
ownership of the copyright plus royalties for the songwriter and
publishing money. The share you have to give to the publisher could be
significant - according to attorney Donald S. Passman, author of All
You Need To Know About The Music Business, you could be asked to
give up more than 50% to the publisher, depending on how you use the
original track.
Keep in mind that if your song has more than one sample on it, you
have to repeat this process for each - even if you think you have
altered the sample so much that it is no longer identifiable as the
original track. It can be a tedious and expensive process - but not
nearly as expensive as getting busted for copyright violation.
Don't
risk it.

In the Indie Music World Luck Doesn’t Happen, It’s Made

from The Buzz | GiGHiVE
Never believe in overnight successes. They’re like the tooth fairy. They’re make-believe. How many times have you heard about the struggling actress who moves to Hollywood and bumps into the guy at the coffee shop who happens to know a producer at Miramax? Then bam! The next week, she’s on the set of the next Quentin Tarantino flick.
Or how about the starry-eyed rapper who’s desperate to be the next MTV sensation? So he starts free-styling on the street one day at just the moment that the head A&R rep at Jive happens to be walking by. Next thing, he’s working on his own major label album.
The Kama Sutra of Music Marketing

When was the last time you thought about music promotion and romance at the same time? Been a while? Well, by the time you finish reading this post, you may do it more often. (Thinking about the combination, that is. How often you "do it" is up to you :-)
It reminded me of an analogy I've often used: Marketing is a lot like dating.
Introduction To Radio Promotions | New Industry Tips
Posted by Montigo
1
From New Industry Tips
The Stations
No conversation about music marketing would be complete without the word RADIO rearing its ugly head time and time again. Few songs sell well at retail without it. None sell millions without it. You’ve got your CDs manufactured…now what can YOU do about it?
Radio is one of the MASS MEDIA that record companies use to promote CDs to a wide-spread audience. It is the only medium that gets songs to an audience on a REPEATED basis (meaning, a person can hear a song on a particular station 20 or 50 or 100 times…just compare that to TV, film, print…or even touring.) So the question stands: How do you get your songs on the radio? With this and following installments of Airplay 101, we will look at what radio avenues are realistically available to indie bands and indie labels, whether or not you use an independent promoter.
