My tutor has been "middle man" between me and Ted Carroll, hence the "Hi Sue", and has been forwarding the emails he has sent with the information about this live brief.
apologies for not getting back to you sooner in more detail regarding Ace masters that your students might be able to use for videos.
Although Ace Records has almost 100,000 masters in its catalogue, we only own and control rights to a much smaller number, (still, probably in excess of 20,000).Approx. 15 to 20 second snippets of most of these are available to listen to on the ACE website http://acerecords.co.uk/
If your students go into the Ace Records website, they can then search under Artists, labels, genres etc etc.For instance if you click on artists, the first one you come to is a Kenyan band named Abana Banasery, now if you scroll down you come to a pack shot of their MP3 album 'Nursery Boys Go Ahead'. If you click on this you get a list of all the tracks on it and as we own these we have snippets of all 11 tracks on the site for you to listen to.

You just click on the little arrow next to each track number.
If you click on any artist / genre or label, you'll reach a list with pack shots of CDs or LP covers. AND if you scroll down to the bottom, you'll reach a section that says 'customers who bought this item also bought ?? and you can scroll across to look at similar CDs and in turn listen to tracks from these
So far so good!
Anyway, when synchronizing a piece of music to a visual image, there are 2 permissions you need to obtain [1] from the owner of the master sound recording and [2] from the music publisher that controls the musical composition embodied in the actual recording.
For instance, if you wanted to use 'Driver's Seat' by SNIFF 'N' THE TEARS (our biggest hit!), you would need permission from Ace Records Ltd to use the master and ALSO a separate permission from Rockin' Music to use the actual composition [the song]
Normally in the commercial world, these rights can cost quite a lot of money. For instance, we get paid up to $100,000 for the use of both the master AND the song copyright for a big TV add in the USA for a year. [that's $100,000 for each!). So you can see that these rights need to be carefully controlled.
Now for your students to us an Ace recording synched to a visual image of their own, that's OK for private use, however if you want to do something commercial with it, put it up on You tube for instance, then you need to get permissions.
I've put together a few CDS /CD singles with tracks that we own or that I own. We also own the music publishing as well for SOME of these, so if necessary could clear both sets of rights. You could pop by this evening after College or I'll drop these off to you in the next day or two. Just for clarification, we obviously would not be looking to charge anything to your students for use of these permissions (unless they ended up making some kind of TV or movie commercial)
We have quite a few CDs by the guitarist Link Wray and we own most of these and most are guitar intrumentals, here's the URL for one of these, I think that it's pretty cool.
