A Sound Recording is a music asset type that represents the audio master recording and refers to the copyright in a recording as distinguished from the copyright in a song.

 

The sound recording is the result of recording music, words or other sounds onto a tape, record, CD, etc.

 

The sound recording copyright is owned by the record label or the artist himself in case of DIY productions.

 

Sound Recording assets may be embedded within music video assets and embed one composition asset.
