It's a Bloody Mess! Solving One of Music’s Biggest Challenges

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

The talk lays out a concrete fix for missing royalties: a creation‑time metadata hub called Session Studio that captures contributors, links the five identifiers, and bounces stems from Pro Tools/GarageBand/Ableton into a shared workspace. Claims: 100,000 tracks hit Spotify daily, average new song has four writers (sometimes 10–15), and hundreds of millions sit in a black box from bad metadata. The demo shows real‑time crediting, voice‑memo capture, and publisher/DSR‑ready exports so payments follow the music.
