52 Cues - A Production Music and Sync Podcast

Why Your Metadata (Probably) Sucks (with Mrs. 52 Cues)

Dave Kropf Season 2025 Episode 20

In this episode, I’m joined by Mrs. 52 Cues (Shannon Kropf) to talk about the one thing composers love to avoid: metadata. We’ll unpack why it matters, where we go wrong, and how to stop sabotaging our own discoverability.

Plus I feature a brand new playful dramedy cue with no pizzicato strings!
