The Sync-Ready Checklist
The difference between a track that gets admired and one that gets placed — a music supervisor's checklist for landing more sync, more consistently.
When a music supervisor opens their inbox between editing sessions, they aren’t auditioning your talent. They’re scanning for friction — how much of their week you’re about to cost them. The four-second delete is them deciding, on instinct, whether you’ll be easy or whether you’ll be a chase.
Some tracks die in the inbox. The worse ones die at the finish line, after the supervisor falls for the song and finds out it can’t be cleared.
Both deaths come down to the same thing. Here’s how to stop being a chase and to bring in more syncs. Short and sweet.
