Sync
Get your music considered for sync.
Film, TV, commercials, trailers, games, sports and social campaigns — through Nice Set’s licensing partners, alongside distribution and live booking.
The short version
- No submission fee. Requires a Pro membership.
- Nice Set does not take your publishing because you submit.
- You must control 100% of the master. Publishing must be clearable.
- No uncleared samples. Co-writes need every writer’s sign-off.
- Send an instrumental and lyrics. Stems are not needed at first.
- All genres. Explicit music accepted. No PRO needed to submit.
- You approve the license where the rights structure requires it.
- No placement guarantee.
- Sync sits alongside distribution and patent-pending venue recommendations — one service, not three vendors.
Sync, distribution and live — one place
Most sync routes are standalone. Songtradr, Musicbed, Marmoset, Epidemic Sound and Artlist license music for picture — and that’s all they do.
Nice Set adds sync to distribution and live booking. The same catalog that streams gets pitched for film, TV, ads, trailers and games, and the same streaming data ranks venues where your audience already is. One service, one review, no submission fee, no publishing taken.
Questions artists ask
How is Nice Set sync different from Songtradr or Musicbed?
Songtradr, Musicbed, Epidemic Sound, Artlist and Marmoset are sync libraries and marketplaces — they license music for picture. Nice Set is a full service: distribution plus sync plus live booking, with no submission fee and no publishing taken.
Does sync work with my distribution?
Yes. Same catalog, same review. Music you distribute through Nice Set can be submitted for sync.
How does Nice Set sync work?
Nice Set works through sync licensing partners. You submit music, Nice Set reviews it and waits for partner opportunities that fit. Opportunities may include film, TV, commercials, trailers, games, sports and social campaigns. Not every song is pitched.
Can Nice Set get my song into film or TV?
Nice Set can consider your music for film and TV opportunities through its sync partners. Placements are not guaranteed, and Nice Set has no completed public sync placements to share yet.
What rights do I need?
You must control 100% of the master for the submission, and the publishing must be clearable.
Does Nice Set take my publishing?
No. Submitting music does not give Nice Set ownership of your publishing. Commission, exclusivity and partner terms can vary by opportunity and are disclosed when they apply.
Is there a fee to submit?
No. There is no sync submission fee. Sync submissions require a Pro membership.
What do I need to submit?
The song, an instrumental version and the lyrics. Stems are not required for the first submission. Explicit music is accepted and there are no genre restrictions.
Do I need ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or another PRO?
No. PRO registration is not required just to submit.
Can I submit co-writes?
Yes, when every required writer and rightsholder has signed off.
Can I submit cover songs?
Covers can be considered when the rights can be cleared.
Can I submit songs with samples?
Not with uncleared samples.
What happens after submission?
Nice Set reviews the music and waits for a partner opportunity that fits. There is no promise that every song is pitched.
Does Nice Set guarantee placements?
No. Nice Set does not guarantee sync placements.
Do I approve the license before a placement is finalized?
Yes, where approval is required by the rights structure. Fees, commission and backend terms vary by opportunity and are disclosed when they apply.
