Here's a couple of observations from another TAXI member. That song you created with SUNO..... throw it away. Don't even think about submitting it. Regarding the recommendations to use SUNO or some other AI to create your song. DON'T even consider that. Just don't. Nothing will get you banned quicker in the sync world currently. If you read the listing you will see the warning NOT to use any AI. No sync publishers are going to sign anything that is created by AI. The first issue is, it can't be copyright protected. Too many legal grey areas and encumbrances. Many, if not all the sync publishers and libraries are adamantly opposed to the use of ANY AI other than using it to master the song. One of the publishers I'm signed with has even banned the use of Synth V vocals and doesn't want anything that was posted on Soundcloud or sent by WeTransfer since both of those are allowing AI models to train on the content those sites handle. Violation of the extensive AI prohibition with that publisher can result in the termination of the writing agreement and removal of the catalog from the publishers overall catalog. They are serious about that so don't even think about going with AI for sync. As per the listing on the TAXI site: Your Submissions can NOT be commercially released on Spotify, Apple Music, etc., OR be encumbered by ANY other publishing, licensing, administration, and/or exploitation deals (whether non-exclusive or exclusive), including publishing/licensing agreements with CD Baby Pro, TuneCore, etc. Do NOT submit any material with unauthorized samples of any other artists’ music, sounds, or any other form of media. Broadcast Quality is needed.
AI ALERT: This Company can't accept or sign music that has been lyrically or melodically composed using generative AI, nor will they accept backing tracks, full instrumental tracks, or vocal performances created with AI. Regarding using BB styles.... Yes, but it depends. Listen to the examples they gave you for targeting the listing. BB styles tend to be very "beige" compared to the examples they provided. You'll really need to think out of the box and create a unique version of the song. Don't just grab a style, slap on some (paid) vocals, and think it's going to pass the screeners. It might, but chances are, it won't. That's not to say you can't use BB styles right out of the box and get a "forward", I have done that, but, it's not likely for this style/listing. The one song on the examples list....Eye of the Tiger.... listen to how it starts. BB will never give you something like that. BUT.... if you can provide that kind of "enhancement" to the BB style..... that would be fine. Give it a shot..... you never know. Go to the Taxi forum. I'm not sure which subforum it's in, but there's an entire section of the forum dedicated to folks asking questions about submitting, and often provide a link to their song they are planning to submit. Listen and read the feedback. Consider submitting your song just as the instrumental bed to see what people say. Just tell them it's the musical bed, you're recording the vocals, and want some feedback on what you have. See what feedback you get. That's my advice for what it's worth. BTW: Taxi isn't a music agency. It's a trusted listings and screening service. They get listings from the industry and make them available to members. The members can submit music to those listings where they are screened to eliminate the musical slag. This ensures that the producers and end users get targeted, quality, usable, music for the project, hence making them a trusted source of music and listings that are valuable to both musicians and producers.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
