MMF CANADA WEBINAR: Controlling the Narrative - Managing Your Pre-Release Music and Metadata

Twitter March 31 2021 Webinars .png

DESCRIPTION

Byta.com is the platform enabling everyone to send & receive digital audio in a clean, simple & secure way. Built for everyone working with music today.

Working in 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 and press.

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, 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. Learn how simple workflow changes can save not only time but ensure greater security for your audio files and streams.
