    re: Genre’s vs. Sales. Honestly, I don’t think you can predict it. My most used tracks are ones that I probably would have thrown away. My least used – some that I consider masterpieces… Go figure.

    As for styles and what to write, I think you have to be wide reaching. If you’re only writing rock because it’s hot right now, you’re going to get the short end of the stick and see your sales drop thru the floor when tastes change. A wide variety of music and styles and types of libraries is what creates longevity.

    I feel genre writing, either done by purpose, or falling into it! Becomes more about focusing on control, meaning after awhile you find you do have a better bearing and understanding of who your target audience, publishers, production companies, and potential licensing/sales are who work in it and that becomes who you present it to. So it becomes opposite from say blanketing music styles or waiting on ups/sales to find your tracks. It empowers you to have a specific product which you can drive people to that you know utilize it. And like it or not, you become more of an authority on the genre by working in it. If you love scoring it all the merrier!!

    +1 also. Some of my most successful tracks are in genres I jumped into without prior experience.

    It’s nice when you can find a niche that you really enjoy.

    This has often been my experience too!
