“I loved everything about the sound and the packaging ...and no hassles with the licensing.”

Soundwaves will process the paperwork and pay all fees involved in obtaining the mechanical licenses legally required for all copyrighted material on your audio recording. This includes the paperwork associated with applying for and obtaining the mechanical licenses as well as paying for them.

For video projects, obtaining synchronization licenses involves working with each copyright holder of each piece. Because synchronization liceses are not compulsary as with audio recordings, in some cases the license is not available.  Therefore we ask that you simply provide us the names of the composer, arranger and publisher for each piece being recorded and we will be able to tell you if any of the pieces would need to be 'blacked out' on your video. The audio would remain in your video.
