Frequently Asked Questions
What is sync licensing?
A synchronization (sync) license is required when a party wants to sync a piece of music to a specific visual output such as motion picture or animation. Whoever owns or represents the publishing rights to the piece of music will be responsible for issuing the sync license.
Why work with a sync or music licensing company?
Besides saving you time from watching and reading all the “How to License” music content out there, music licensing companies like E Willz Entertainment take the responsibility of curating a variety of ready-to-use music so that you can focus on other aspects of your film or project.
What is a music library?
Music libraries will have pre-made options that fit common narrative themes or emotions. Our catalog specializes in hip hop, R&B, and alternative Jazz pre-made options. Check it out here.
What does “one-stop” mean?
When licensing music, you have to clear or obtain permission from both the master rights holder and the publishing rights holder. One-stop means you only have to contact one person (in this case, E Willz Entertainment) to clear both rights.
What is the difference between Master rights and Publishing rights?
Music rights are broken down into master rights and publishing rights. The master rights is held by the owner of the actual sound recording of the song. Publishing rights are held by the person (usually the composer themself) who owns the rights to the composition itself.
Should I consider licensing music as a content creator?
When uploading content to YouTube or other media platforms, your content is public. Public videos that gain substantial attention or those that go viral with uncleared music could make you liable for copyright infringement.
What is copyright infringement?
Any unauthorized use of a copyrighted work is considered an infringement by law. Make sure to do your research and seek out a license to avoid any legal actions by the copyright holder.
How do I make a purchase?
First, you’re not “purchasing” anything. You are simply licensing music for a specified time period similar to when you rent a movie. If there is a song from the E Willz Entertainment Music Catalog that you would like to use, please contact us at admin@ewillzentertainment.com to discuss the terms of your licensing agreement. Alternatively, if you are looking for custom music, use this link to set up a consultation with us where we can discuss your individual needs and next steps.
What is the average cost to license music?
Music licensing fees vary depending on the budget of the project and complexity of the music.
How will my music be delivered?
E Willz Entertainment primarily delivers music via the following formats: Waveform Audio File Format (WAV) and Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF). If other formats are required, contact us to discuss options.
