Welcome and introduction
Digital Data Exchange, LLC (DDEX) welcomes you to its second Creator Credit Summit, which shines a light on how our industry standards help ensure that all contributors to the creation of musical works and sound recordings are credited. The Summit will also show how entrepreneurs are developing simple and effective tools for creators to use in capturing that data and populating it in global digital music services. A short introduction to DDEX and its work will be given with particular focus on the Recording Information Notification Standard (RIN), which is being widely adopted in these tools as a standard way to capture creator credit data at the earliest point possible in the creative process.

Tools for capturing creator credits: Sound Credit
Seven companies will give presentations of tools that they have developed to assist all forms of creators in capturing metadata about all aspects of the creative process, so that this can then be passed onto all the relevant participants in the value chain who need it. For each company there will be a pre-recorded presentation followed by five minutes of Q&A. An introduction to each of the tools is available here.

How credits improve contributor identification and payment
When used across the entire industry value chain, DDEX standards provide an end-to-end data flow that not only improves the distribution and discovery of music, but also the speed and accuracy of royalty payments back to the creators. This panel will explore everything that the industry is doing on a global scale to promote implementation and optimise current uses for creator credits to improve both the consumer and creator experiences.

Entering credits in the recording process: Whose job is it anyway?
The correct music metadata, along with standardised transmission of it, makes crediting, attribution, and both royalty collection and distribution a more efficient and automated process. But currently, the entry of this information during a recording session is a mixed bag. A human being still has to initially key in the information. So, whose job is it? Our panellists share their points of view on this hot-button issue.

DIY musicians and the metadata miasma
Data is vital to make the modern music industry work, and it needs to be delivered in real-time. However, this can be difficult for DIY artists to manage. Many artists rely on distribution platforms but they are on their own when inputting the core metadata to ensure they are properly credited and paid. The panel will evaluate the processes that DIY artists and the distribution platforms use to capture this data, identify where the pitfalls are, and what can be done to avoid them.

Music and audio-visual production – a different spin on metadata
The process of creating music for audio-visual content has some very different elements from that of a sound recording alone but there is an even greater need to capture the correct data at the source, as there are even more elements in the overall work This panel will look at the requirements for data capture at source about music used in audio-visual productions for the various players along the value chain, identify what solutions exist and determine what more needs to be done to improve the timely and efficient delivery of the requisite data.

Open discussion

This will be the opportunity for delegates to have your say.
