I posted this regarding the Sound Recording, the Master Recording, and Copyright Ownership necessary to 'Pitch' said product to persons with the Budget to pay for Synchronization Licensing, Sound Recordings they License to 'use', usually with video 'Content', TV commercial advertising, dramas, comedies, or movie or documentary Soundtracks, who put out a 'Brief' specifying what they are seeking.
Jason Blume was reporting what his experience is with those 'seekers', among them "record labels, artists, and management asking pluggers and publishers to provide a time-stamped original work tape version from the songwriter as proof of human authorship.
If you use AI enhancements in your production, we now highly recommend that you keep a copy of your original "work tape" demonstrating your original melody and lyrics, with a digital timestamp that predates the AI-produced version."
That 'advice' is likely the advice of well-paid legal advisors who know what they will be up against should any dispute arise of the 'right' to 'copy' and 'use' that recorded music. The time-stamped 'document' is for legal purposes.
If you're not responding to 'Briefs', submitting Master Recordings you own, under Copyright you own, it's not a matter to concern yourself with. If you think you may someday take your product to Market, then it becomes an issue because you are 'Contracting' with those Music Supervisors, Arrangement & Repertoire personnel of those record labels, artists, management, and legal issues are involved.
If you can't Contract on that level of commercial acumen you're not likely to get a reputation for reliability. One bad experience can mark you in an industry where they talk to each other. A bad experience can get talked about more than a good one, for years. You may not hear about it, but it goes on.
Again, if you're not in the Market, Pitching to Briefs, your hobby status probably doesn't have to consider these legal issues.
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

"Sometimes reaching a goal earlier than planned is a great achievement. It shows you have worked hard, pushed ahead and made it happen. However, sometimes reaching a goal far past your original deadline, long after you wanted to complete it, and after the accolades you might once have gotten for the achievement are over, it is an even greater achievement. This shows you never gave up, due to adversity, deficit, criticism and those little life detours that end many dreams and goals. In many ways, this is a reason for even more pride!" -Brian Austin Whitney
