    For Sale PreSonus FaderPort BRAND NEW CONDITION (with KORG nanoKONTROL)

    FaderPort SOLD I just had to have a FaderPort I use PreSonus Studio One Pro with a FireStudio Project interface. I LOVE my PreSonus gear, and wanted to round out my studio foundation with the FaderPort. Finally broke down and bought it. I set it up (plug-and-play in Studio One) and found a...

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    Thanks for your comments above. I remain confused about SR vs. PA, and since you've been studying up maybe you can clarify this: 1. I'm a songwriter, so I want the standard PA protection. 2. I expect to sell recording rights to other artists. 3. BUT...I will make a full-blown audio recording...

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    So before I pull the trigger, the following is my understanding of the consensus among you all (and THANKS for your helpful contributions): 1. At the time of online registration I will receive a registration number / submission number. 2. That number is all the protection I need, so I can go...

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    Is the $55 cost because it's designated a Sound Recording, rather than a typical copyright application at $35? Like you, I'll take a screen capture, but I'll copy each step in the application process. I trust nothing when it comes to online transactions, except maybe Murphy's Law... :D

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    HA! Thanks, Mack. I'm doing as you describe in addition to filing with the U.S. Library of Congress. "Belt and suspenders," sez I...

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    Sorry to be so slow in my reply. Thanks for this caveat. I'll make damned sure I get it right the first time.

    Electronic U.S. Copyright application: How long before I can publicize the song?

    If i file an electronic application with the United States Copyright Office TODAY, is the song fully protected as of TODAY'S DATE? Is there a waiting period / processing period? Must I hold off until I receive some official notification? If there's an official Copyright Office publication...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    I agree. I used to submit a paper lead sheet with notation melody and lyrics below each staff line, as well as printed lyrics arranged in stanzas, like poetry. Half the time I can't make out what a singer is saying, even on expensive, professionally produced recordings. So how are the...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    Man! After hours of study I STILL got it backwards?! :facepalm: Here's a Copyright.gov link I just dredged up from my weekend's worth of 'bookmarks.' It spells out very clearly what you just said (again): "When to Use Form SR (Sound Recordings) Use Form SR for registration of published...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    Or perhaps not thinking enough. I engage in both approaches on a regular basis. :D Thanks for your detailed and helpful assistance, and for your patience. I read your comments/advice carefully and studied online over the weekend. 'Looked at dozens of web pages and I still don't know if I...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    Hey, Steve == What is that? :D Until now, I've been focused on copyright protection of the lyrics and melody. I figure that's the core of the song - the marketable essence of the creative work. I may be wrong (and would appreciate further discussion!) but I've been thinking of bass, lead...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    Thanks for helpful suggestions. Then how about this? Perform all verses with vocal to establish melody and lyrics, as usual. BUT... add instrumental verse in the middle with the piano playing the vocal melody (no vocal). I want to protect the song prior to making it available to session...

    Recordings for Copyright (U.S.) - How extensive a recording?

    TWO takes in one recording: Guitar-and-Vocal, followed by Guitar-and-Synth Melody Miroslav and Joey2000 == Thanks to Miroslav and Joey2000 for your helpful comments. 1. I don't understand the concept of copyrighting the production of a song. What exactly would be protected in that case...
