Mastering Audio: Metadata, ISRC, UP and QC

[marioscapecchi]

Thanks Jonathan! ( Just to add a little information ) : Each country in Europe has it's own Copyright Association. Gema is referring to Germany, SIAE is referring to Italy etc.

If you are not sure how to embed the codes. MP3Tag allows you to embed extended fields. If you are a recording artist, just send the code with your music submission, we can add it to your song. We just do not do the metadata, since we do not know who wrote the track, etc.

It's good to know about ISRC codes. But seems like it's easier on the internet to learn how aliens have build pyramids than how to just embed a ISRC code on a WAV file (by yourself)

Definitely a great and very informative video. I'll remember this as I journey down the audio/mastering engineer road.

[TheOneTrueAJ]

So right. I hope all mastering engineers think and do the same as you!

[starsweepermusic]

Thank you so much for this information! You have a way about you, to clearly define what it is these things do. It was very helpful. Thank you!

Hey man thanks for sharing that knowledge & laying it out so clear too.

[djdz]

must have been nice to have had the opportunity to work with the Nirvana guys.  I bet that was an experience.

Hallo Jonathen,

I successfully completed the mastering course at Berkleemusic, which Marc-Dieter Einstmann and you teach, so, your name is well-known to me.

You mention that the ISRC license has to be obtained from the GEMA in Europe. Actually, that is not correct. A registrant code has to be obtained from the IFPI.

Best regards,
Patrick

I need to know how to put the ISRC and metadata on our tracks. How do I do that in our recording program in the proces of exporting? We use cubase 10

Hi Jonathan, I am busy with ISR codes, can another person access the info 'embedded' in my songs and change it to their own code and basically steal the royalties?

[AbltrVEVO]

Thnk you so much for explaining, Can you tell me whats the best Software for PC to insert a ISRC?

[Tapepusher]

Is there an easy way to fin d ISRC and UPC codes of songs without having access to the distributor account it was uploaded from? Must I ask all my collaborators for these codes each time?

[sadeklab]

Thanks for the video, and I'd like to ask please; if I record a song in a studio in 2007 but I publish on you tube in 2014, so, what is the ISRC code year? 2007 or 2014 ? Thank you

[blakemacdonson]

thank you so much for the vids, they are very helpful

As far as I'm aware GEMA is only germany. PRS in UK and different in most other countires in EU.
