Event overview
Controlling The Narrative: Managing Your Pre-Release Music & Metadata
Byta.com is a platform enabling everyone to send & receive digital audio in a clean, simple & secure way. Built for everyone working with music today.
When working in or creating music, we are all sharing digital audio files and streams pre-release. Music is shared first between artists and their collaborators. Once mixed and mastered, sharing widens to the larger music ecosystem; management, record labels, publishers and external partners such as radio, press and journalists.
With so many variables at play, how do artists and their teams ensure the security of their music pre-release? How do they control the release narrative while encouraging music discovery?
In this workshop/talk, you will come to better understand challenges such as stream ripping and their implications. Insights will be presented regarding file formats, file metadata and streaming security. The importance of labelling and inputting correct track metadata is often overshadowed and overlooked. Learn how simple workflow changes can save not only time for creators but ensure greater security for your audio files and streams.
