    Reply: How do musicians & artists clear samples? -- Creative DLC

    Want to use a sample in your track?  Replying to a query I have on my channel regarding artists using other people's tracks/songs/music within their own recordings. I go into David Guetta & Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue) as an example, and how they may have cleared this sample. Thanks Chris!

    Diary Of A Music Manager Ep. 5 - Recording and Compositional Rights - September 2022

    A short update and explaining the difference between how management works between RIVES and Ebi Soda.  Mini music rights cheat sheet below:   Recordings/masters are the actual audio file you listen to. Record Labels buy these rights from artists, and monetise them by selling vinyl/CD, getting them streamed, licensed for adverts/TV, public performance and much more.  Songs/compositions are the lyrics and melody within the audio files.  Publishers buy these from the artist and monetise these by encouraging other performing artists to play/use their compositions (covers), placement on adverts/TV,  public performance, sheet music and much more.   Once again, big ups to Rob and Ollie Radio as part of Future Hits Radio for making RIVES Artist Of The Week!

    How To Plan Your Creative Project (feat. The Project Circle Model)

    Being a 'creative' myself, I've often found that creating art and building a campaign around it have been completely different skillsets.    Since starting E'XVI, I've had a number of questions about how to build a campaign by musicians & artists - There is no 'perfect' answer. Instead, I've created a perspective model of the very basics to keep you on track with the purpose of the project and what the next steps are. I've named this the Project Circle Model.    When you want to share your art with the world, ask yourself these questions:   ---1. Why did you start this creative project?  Define the purpose.   ---2. How will this creative project take shape?  Define the project.   ---3. Where do you want this project to be?  Locate Destinations.   ---4. What do these destinations need? What do you need?  Build Assets.   ---5. When do you want to do the above (what order)?  Build Narrative.   ---6. Results - Access each part. Improve. Repeat.   I welcome any feedback and thoughts to this and I hope this is something that brings value to artists looking to execute the project as true to the purpose as possible. Thank you!
