Week 7 (Oct. 19 to Oct. 22)

I can now place a system to my work ethic. Here is how you officially clear a song from beginning to end:

1. Song research
2. Construct a Tracing Report of all your songs using excel or word
3. Contact Publishers and Masters
4. Send out Synch and Master requests
5. Get rates for song/media use
6. Construct Agreement
7. Discuss rates with producer
8. Finalize Agreements (signatures, etc.)
9. Give finalized agreements to Producer or VP in charge of Programming

Those are my 9 steps that I conquer everyday.
