SYNC MARKETPLACE · BETA

Your tracks. Licensable.

The OGRECORDS sync marketplace (beta): artists who release through us unlock their tracks for advertising, film, TV, games and trailers. Buyers listen to a watermarked preview and request a licence. You keep 100 % of your masters, decide every deal yourself and pay 15 % commission only when a placement happens.

HOW IT WORKS

Sync licensing with nothing up front.

15 % only on placement

No upfront cost, no subscription, no listing fee. Only when a buyer pays for a licence do we keep 15 % of the licence fee — the rest goes to you and your co-writers according to your splits.

100 % master ownership

You keep all rights to your recordings. We only broker — no co-ownership, no buy-out clauses. Non-exclusive by default.

You decide every deal

You see every licence request with usage, term, territory and fee before anything happens. Nothing gets licensed without your yes.

Watermarked previews

Buyers hear your full-length track, but with an audible watermark. Only a paid licence unlocks the master.

Clean rights data

Per track you declare who controls the master and the composition, whether samples are cleared and which uses you allow. That is exactly what buyers need to decide quickly.

Contract, payment, payout

When a deal happens we handle the licence agreement, the invoice to the buyer and the payout of your share — according to your splits, just like your streaming royalties.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

A look inside the dashboard — with demo data.

So you don't have to guess: this is what unlocking, rights declaration and the preview look like in your account. The screenshots come from our demo account, not from real artists.

WHAT IS SYNC LICENSING

Your music in advertising, film and games — sync with OGRECORDS.

A sync licence lets your music be used with moving images — in ad spots, films, TV series or games. The OGRECORDS sync marketplace is in beta and open to artists who release through us: with at least one released master you unlock, per track and in your dashboard, which uses you allow and add the rights data buyers need.

The difference is the model. Classic sync agencies take around 50 % of the licence fees — OGRECORDS takes 15 %, and only when a licence is actually paid. On a placement of €25,000 that leaves €21,250 with you, distributed according to your royalty splits. You keep 100 % of your master ownership: no co-ownership, no 50/50 splits, no buy-out clauses.

What matters for you as an artist: sync is non-exclusive by default, and you decide every request individually — nothing gets licensed without your approval. Buyers only hear a watermarked preview up front; the master is delivered once the licence is paid. To see how sync fits into the full delivery path of your releases, head to /distribution.
