Question 1

What is Everything 1x?

Accepted Answer

Everything 1x [pronounced “one - time”] is a full service media production company built around the engine of a unique music library named “The Book”.

Question 2

What is a music library?

Accepted Answer

An organized catalog of songs with properly recorded ownership information in metadata, used to sell licenses throughout the world of intellectual property business.

Question 3

What makes “The Book” - Everything 1x’s  Music Library unique?

Accepted Answer

Typical music library entities are strictly middlemen that submit music on your behalf to a network of music supervisors for a fee. Everything 1x is a quality control center (production company) that powers “The Book” (music library). We specialize in taking seed ideas and bringing them up to the highest standard in order to increase the probability of placement. This is ideal for creators who may not have all of the skill, resources or time to complete industry standard material but would like to participate in the sync placement process, maintain ownership in their creative works, and generate profit from their art.

Question 4

What type of songs can I submit to the music library?

Accepted Answer

All genres and styles are welcome.
Everything 1x only catalogs clean records. Any songs containing profane, lewd, hyper-sexualized, or derogatory material will be edited and/or re-written before pitching.

Question 5

How do I submit a song to the music library?

Accepted Answer

Just walk through our submission form! You will need to provide:
Audio file of the song (wav or mp3) - it does not have to be a final mix or mastered file.
Lyrics of the song (if it contains vocals)

Question 6

Will filling out the submission form change anything?

Accepted Answer

No. All music sent to us for review will remain confidential and is protected by YOUR copyright. The submission form only gives Everything 1x the opportunity to evaluate and listen to the submitted music.

Question 7

Do my songs have to be completely produced & mixed in order to submit?

Accepted Answer

No. After a song is approved to enter The Book (Music Library), a new version is created for Everything 1x to form into a finished product. This will include at the least mixing & mastering services, and may further include additional writing, production, and recording.

Question 8

Do I have to have 100% ownership of the songs that I submit?

Accepted Answer

No. The process of doing business with a song is fastest when you own 100% of the song, but if there are multiple owners, written consent WILL be acquired by all parties before the song is licensed.

Question 9

Do I have to have access to the stems (isolated tracks) for the songs that I submit?

Accepted Answer

No. The process of doing business with a song is fastest when you have access to the vocal and instrumental stems. If none are provided, Everything 1x will reproduce & record the song to create stems.

Question 10

What happens if my music is selected for the library?

Accepted Answer

You will receive, to the email address you give us, a written approval of the selected music, & our standard contractual agreement for placement in the music library. Upon agreement to the terms, the following steps take place:
Detailed metadata and ownership data are acquired & entered for the music
The music is shopped for licensing opportunities in Film, TV, Visual Media, and Production companies
Song owners are paid according to the ownership data for each song

Question 11

Will I be notified if my music is not selected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You will receive a notification to the email address you give us.

Question 12

If my song is selected for the library, will Everything 1x change or add things to my song without permission?

Accepted Answer

No. All changes will need to be collectively agreed upon before finalization and submission for placement in TV/Film. Also, the only song that will be changed is the new version that is entering the music library; the original submitted version will remain in full control of the original owners as a separate ISRC.

Question 13

If I send my music to you for the initial submission, does that guarantee that I will get a sync placement?

Accepted Answer

No. Only the music approved for the music library after the initial submission will be shopped for sync placements. Also, sync placements are not guaranteed for songs in the music library. We guarantee that all of the songs in the music library will perpetually be shopped to clients in Film, TV, Visual Media, and Production companies.

Question 14

Can I submit music that has already been released to the public?
