Your first inclination as a producer

Eva Sunday, your first inclination as a producer who has just embarked on your career is to get your music in front of as much people as you know how within your immediate reach. Choose your placement submissions wisely and only work with artists who you truly believe are good since this is where your name will remain etched as you rise in your career. There may be some temptation to produce for artists who you don't believe are truly good just to keep money in your pocket but this is not a good path to take in an inevitable struggle which you must overcome during your early career. Find an outstanding artist, gain attention for producing memorable music on that project then leverage it into work with other talented artists who admire your work. Jake One instrumentals are created with a universal and lasting appeal which makes his music stand out among many. He is known for leveraging one outstanding music production into a line of other opportunities which follow after by collaborating with artists respected by himself and a niche audience. This work flow strategy is essential to your growth, success and greater placement opportunities.

In the fast-paced world of the internet, many aspiring artists who have no knowledge of licensing are likely to download and record their vocals over your production whether they care about copyrighting or not. This reality of the internet proves that the integrity and identity of your music is at risk. In order to combat piracy of your music, Eva Sunday there are a few things you can do:

1. Only upload lo quality versions of your music to showcase online. This includes the music you upload to your website or producer communities. Don't compress the audio too much, just enough so that your mp3 or wave file has been reduced in quality to the point an artist would not consider trying to use it for their mix tape or album.

2. Add drops to the music you showcase online. "Drops" are defined as an audio watermark or copyright in the form of an audio phrase which repeats at numerous intervals throughout your audio track. Many producers use their name as a drop either using their own voice or a voice over professional as a repeatable sound effect. When listeners hear your drop, it creates a unique identity for your music and protects it from piracy at the same time.

3. Set up a page on your website which outlines a contract of leasing and licensing rights. This is similar to a terms of use page you find on standard websites, only this type of page is designed for people to gain a clear understanding of the legal aspects pertaining to your music.
