I think Yadgyu has a point. The more ducky musics you have on a library, the more you have the chance of your music being chosen by mistake.

Just kidding

Interested in making money – yes. But I have a passion for music. I’d be composing music regardless.

Why are you on a site about making money from musical compositions if you are not interested in making money from musical compositions? Sounds a bit kooky to me. But to each his own.

Money isn’t everything, right? Keep telling that to yourself.

Not bad actually.

I just got my collection licensed to two libraries. Those songs are being used on a non-exclusive basis. That collection, “Random Ducks”, is exactly what the music library world needs.

There are too many one-off tracks by too many small-time musicians. Collectors want variety and they want quantity. How can someone really expect to make any money off of one song in a 5,000+ song library? My songs will compete against each other, instead of other people’s songs. I will be knocking out the competition and leaving myself with more opportunities for my music to be used.

I am working on a follow-up that I plan to submit on an exclusive basis. I have a few libraries interested. When I finalize things, I will let you guys know. Hopefully we can all celebrate our successes together.

Get On My Level!!!

Wow – there’s the attitude that killed the record labels… and how ARE those 72 songs about ducks treating you @ 75¢/each, Yadgyu?

“What good is a song if it isn’t generating any revenue?” – Yadgyu

How about just the pleasure of composing and listening…Sounds like your passion is in making money, not music.

That mentality epitomizes what the Music Industry is turning into.

Quality is relative.

It is not about making the best song; it is about making the best-selling song. What good is a song if it isn’t generating any revenue?

Thanks – I need to study the listings some more.

Well the easy answer is: put the really good tracks in as many high quality license based libraries as possible, i.e those that have high expectations of quality.
Some royalty free sites let you name your own price. Why not sell those great tracks on those sites too, for a higher than average price?
