If you’re saving a file through a software, there’s a codec that’s being used to save the file. As there isn’t any information about the method, rather be safe than sorry. Also the file size changes with Sonoris which is usually a sign that there is a slight file compression taking place.

Hi there. Great video by the way. I like and appreciate learning more. I was just curious if the embedded isrc code in the saved Wav file gets transferred to an MP3 if you were to convert that Wav file into an MP3 file? Or do I need a different isrc code for the MP3 of that same song ? Thanks. :)

@SkillMusicSA 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm glad I could help out. It depends on how you convert the file but typically doesn't get transfer when converted. You have to embed the SAME ISRC code for both file types. If it's the same recording, use the same ISRC regardless of the file type/format.

Only one ISRC is assigned and it’s usually from the main artist’s codes. Same as UPC. Getting the codes isn’t easy if you’re not the main act though unless the artist has uploaded to something like discog. Will let you know if I find an easy way to get these details.

Question : I have the ISRC code and i registered some songs last year. I'm busy registering a new one, so do after changing the year of release do i start counting the songs in the new album from 001 or do i continue from the last song code from last year which ended with 22(which is the last track on the last album). so in essence after i alter the new year do i end this years ISRC code with 23 picking up from my last release? Hope I make sense.

Honestly, it's up to you. You just have to change the reference year to the current year. The end numbering can start from 001 or continue but I'd start from 001.

With Distrokid, there is a link that says "have your own ISRC". You click there and place your ISRC there. There is some encoding/modification that's done again to your audio once you upload so that's why you have to put in all that metadata/info again.

@SkillMusicSA 2 жыл бұрын

To my understanding, they wouldn’t use the ISRC because the code is linked to the sound recording. So Spotify, Apple Music, soundexchange and other similar entities that track sound recordings use them. So if you don’t want revenue from the sound recording, it’s useless. But if you do, then I think it’s best you use your ISRC.

Love the energy and appreciate the comment. If you watched the video, there are certain things only South African Musicians can relate to. Such as RISA and the sub-processes within. My audience is mainly South African so I'm making it clear to them that it will be most useful to them. With that said, you can still apply the tutorial from another region to your specific region with some tweaking. Anyway, I hope you have a good, productive day ahead Danhoven.
