Off Limits "Sync-me" music licensing portal
What on earth is it?
Our Off Limits Sync me portal is an instrument that allows the user to browse our music catalogue online using a series of different search criteria with high quality streaming of all songs and download functions for those that request exclusive access. We control both Master and Publishing Rights or are in contact with the owners for one stop Master and Publishing clearance. The purpose of the page is to offer music for films/movies, TV, advertising and video games or any other audio-visual use that can be required.
Who is it for?
Sync me is for music supervisors, music consultants, advertising agents and companies and anyone else involved in music placement or the music department in films/movies, television, advertising and video games as well as creators and producers of audiovisuals themselves.
How does it work?
On the first page you will find a showcase with some of our biggest hits, our most recent releases, and some of the more interesting music productions form a synchronization point of view.
Here you will also find a link to our music placement portfolio, where you can see our vocal and instrumental tracks that have been synchronized in films/movies, TV shows, video games and commercials/adverts.
Finally you will find our three tag clouds and from this page you can also click on the link to our search page
What are a tag and a tag cloud?
A tag cloud is a collection of descriptive tags or labels that have been assigned to the tracks in the catalogue. The larger the word representing the tag appears, the more tracks there are with that specific tag. We have divided our tags into the following three groups:
Technical tags – these refer to the music genre (for example dance, pop, house..) and the instruments and sounds that can be found in the track (bass, bongos, bells, clock…) as well as reference to the lyrics and vocal sounds (Italian lyrics, French lyrics, vocalize, chanting...)
Mood tags – these refer to the mood or feeling that a song communicates, they can be happy sad, upbeat, dark etc.
Situational tags – these are just our suggestions, music can communicate very different things to different people, but these are some of our thoughts, The tags represent potential scenes or situations in which the music could be used, for example love, chase, driving, fun day out...
So how does the search page work?
Upon entering the search page you will have different search opportunities:
Search artist
If you already know about us and our artists, or you have had a look at out website you can look them up and listen to their repertoire here
Search tracks
If you already know about a song of us or if you want to look for a particular producer who remixed one of our tracks, just write some characters here!
Search Lyrics
Doesn't it make a great impression on the viewer when the lyrics of a song seem to be describing what's going on in the scene, or seem to have been written for the product being advertised? This search function allows you to search for a specific word or phrase in the songs with lyrics in English, Italian, French as well as couple of tracks in Spanish and even Hindi! You can also search for lyric languages using the specific technical tags.
Search combining the tags
This function allows you to perform a refined search by combining the three different tags. The first tag that you choose will automatically reload the other two categories to show the exact number of matches for the combination you are creating. Therefore if you choose the mood tag first, that will reload the technical and situational tags and so on. The numbers of matches are displayed beside each tag in the drop down menu. For example you could search for a dark sounding track that could be good for a chase scene that has the sound of a clock in it.
I don't have time/can't be bothered to search right now.
