ISRC codes and how to Embed them

[brandon]

I understand that the PRS and other societies require recordings to be embedded with the members ISRC code. Is this something that can be done in Sonar and if so could someone advise how?

Thank you.

I do believe that this is a feature of a wave editor like Wave Lab. Not sure if Audacity can. Sound Forge? Gold Wave?

This is something you should be getting from your distributor (distrokid, cdbaby, etc), or your PRO (performance rights organization) or you can get them on your own at the official isrc site (https://isrc.ifpi.org/en/get-isrc)... That said, the easiest path is with your distributor, good luck.

Am surprised Cake/Sonar cant do this as on the face of it it seems something quite simple. Has anyone on here ever done it before?

Here is a simple IRSC Editor, it's free.

I tried to place a link, but it won't stick? Just search google

first you need the ISRC code. then you need to export the WAV as a Broadcast WAV (which has header space allocated for information), and then as Wayne suggested (and i was also about to) use an editor like WaveLab or a free product like https://www.sonorissoftware.com/product/isrc-editor/ to add t he IRSC (and likely other IDv3 metadata) into the Broadcast WAV file. easy peasy. it's the way the professionals do it as well.
