Most musicians lose sync opportunities not because their music isn't good — but because they don't understand what happens after the pitch.

Here are the three most common mistakes I see:

1. No split sheet before collaboration

You write a track with a producer. It gets placed. Now you're arguing over percentages with a label breathing down your neck. A split sheet takes 10 minutes. Not having one takes months to fix.

2. Misreading the brief

Briefs have a mood, a tempo range, a use case, and often an instrumentation preference. Sending a 140 BPM hip-hop track when they asked for "understated emotional" isn't a taste issue — it's a reading issue.

3. Unclear metadata

If your PRO registration, ISRC, and ownership splits aren't airtight, music supervisors can't clear your track quickly. They move on.

These aren't advanced problems. They're basics — and they're fixable.
