What do I need to know about copyrighting my music?

Untitled Document
Performing Rights are probably the most valuable and common rights. They are basically the rights given to control the performance of your song. Mechanical Rights are the rights to mechanically reproduce the song on CD-or any tangible form. Tangible means something (a product) that you can buy, as compared to your song being performed on the radio. Synchronization Rights are for the use of your music in any film, and commercial motion picture, television show or similar.

Do I need to know the music before I attend a performance?

nzso.co.nz - Concert Faq's
No. One of the great joys of going to an NZSO concert is being introduced to a great piece of music you've never heard before, or listening to a superb performance of a piece you haven't heard in years. Some regular concert-goers do find they appreciate the performance more if they listen to a recording of the piece before the concert, so they can better anticipate their favourite parts, or listen for virtuoso playing of the more difficult passages.

Once I know how many photos I???m going to use, how do I figure out how much music I need?

Custom DVD Slide Shows - FAQs
On an average DVD project, most photos are on the screen between 8-10 seconds. This is an ideal amount of time for a photo to be on screen to give everyone enough time to see it. Based on that number, about 6-8 photos will fit in a 1 minute segment of music. Most songs run 3-4 minutes long, so you should count on about 25-30 photos per song. Keep in mind that we can also double up photos and have more than one on screen, if needed, to fit more photos in to a single segment.

So do you need to use music to dance with your cat?

Frequently Asked Questions
Your cat will certainly dance with you without music but I think one of the most important things about playing music when you're dancing with your cat is the effect it has on you. I'm sure it helps us become more involved in the dance and that helps get our energy levels up so that our cats are more likely to join us in the dance. Some people claim that drugs like catnip or valerian really get their cat going, while others claim they have the opposite effect.
