Do I need a cover song license?

Whenever you record a song that someone else wrote, you need to get permission from the copyright owners. This is true even if you are giving away your recording. Getting permission involves contacting the copyright owners for each song and it can be a real pain if you haven't done a lot of this. When you hire Easy Song, they take care of everything for you.

What’s a mechanical license?

A mechanical license pays the songwriter or publisher who owns the copyright to a composition when you create and release your recording on CDs, digital downloads and streams, vinyl, cassettes, and even ringtones.

You need a mechanical license whenever you record and sell/give away a cover version of another musician’s song. Once you have that license secured you can legally distribute someone else’s composition.
