Sync Professionals: Clear rights faster & identify rights holders for up to 1000 recordings in a minute!

If you work with media or are a sync professional, then you probably know how tricky it can be clearing the rights to a list of tracks to use them in a production. Plus when you’re working with a tight deadline, issues tracking down the correct rights holders is the last thing you need- googling multiple music copyright databases, reaching out to contacts in your network hoping they have the answer, it all takes up valuable time.

Music clearance teams tell us that it can take somebody a whole day to manually search for around 80 songs to find accurate songwriter and publisher information. That would be 12 days for a list of 1000 recordings, based on the average time it takes a human to manually search for the same number of songs! That’s time that often isn’t available if you’ve got a tight turnaround time and a long list of tracks to clear.

The good news is, there is a solution!

The Solution

Blokur’s Drag and Drop matching tool enables you to match multiple recordings to the underlying compositions in seconds! So for that long track list? Get those results in just a minute for up to 1000 recordings!

How does it work?

Simply upload a .csv or .tsv file (these can be exported from Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers) containing the title, artist and ISRC for the recordings for which you need to identify the underlying copyright information. Using our unique sub-graph matching technology, the file is processed, returning the results in just a minute.

Here’s a useful short explainer video:

What do I get?

You’ll get back a report showing you the songwriters, publisher names and publisher shares for the underlying composition for any recording that is matched. This will help you identify the relevant rights holders so that you can prioritise your time on reaching out to them to get permission to use the tracks for your project (or you could try our Licensing Messenger!).
