Basically, what the title says. They ask for a £25 fee for legitimate, human made music. Then, if they like your track, offer you an 18-month contract for a Sync Agency Representation Deal. Is this a real thing?
Hi everyone,
together with Daniel Beijbom, I originally created Trailer Music Mastery as a professional course for composers entering the trailer music and sync world.
Over the years, some students from this program went on to secure sync placements across film, TV, and game projects — in many cases building sustainable, long-term income through library and trailer work.
We’ve now decided to transition the Trailer Music Academy into a non-profit initiative. As part of that, the full course (over 14 hours of training, plus sample packs and career modules) is now available completely free on a Pay What You Want basis via Ko-fi.
The course was originally released as a paid program ($299), but we decided to make it fully accessible instead.
• no signup
• no upsells
• no ads
Downloading it for free is totally fine. Donations are optional and simply help keep the project alive.
If you’re interested in trailer music, film scoring, game audio, or the wider sync world, feel free to check it out.
Hope it helps some of you.
I was offered a deal where I'd be giving the licensor "exclusive ownership" of my songs, along with a 50/50 split on sync fees and publishing. I'm just wondering if I were to take the deal if I'd lose the right to have my music distributed myself to streaming platforms and be able to collect the royalties? The songs I shared with them are already distributed and I'm wondering if I'd have to take them down or not.
Are there any decent (and hopefully FREE) sites to upload any music you make and earn some cash, even if it's chump change?
I've been looking for a sync licensing website that meets this criteria as I don't feel comfortable spending money on a subscription just yet.
The only one I've seen that fits this is RouteNote, but it doesn't seem like a lot of Redditors are fond of it.
Any other good websites that you know of?
So I built FriedSoda Music as a metadata manager and was really hoping it would be useful to people. It wasn’t lol. But within it I built a pretty shitty pitching feature at the time and was told that might be the way to go.
So now FSM is a tool that you paste a brief into, it scans your imported catalog (now very streamlined/minimal clicking and manual entry), finds your best matches, and writes your email for you.
I’ve even built an assistant bot that will help you with any questions you have about sync, metadata, specific briefs, and even can edit certain parts of your metadata on your command (keeping it limited though. It’s only allowed to access BPM, genre, energy, duration, stuff like that)
There’s other features that are really cool like your pitch log, auto populated links (from your pitches), and profile customization that a supervisor sees in the shared links (colors, socials, stream and listeners counts, bio, etc)
