Hi whilst on a vacation / work holiday i have been reading an interesting review about how to get started in the music library world. Not sure if the mag is available in the USA but thought it might be of interest to other members of Music library report. I subscribe to SOS. In the uk. The review makes it look easy to get started …. I am not quite sure about some of the points.
Hope it is of interest if you can have a read.

However, there are some really interesting reviews about software and modern recording techniques as well as the article. You can search for sound on sound on the I tunes store.
May 12, 2017 at 3:45 pm #27371DannycParticipantis it in the latest copy of SOS? if so i would like to take a look. curious to see what it suggests.

May 13, 2017 at 3:33 am #27375DannycParticipantthanks guys seems like it also might be useful for those of us already writing for libraries.
May 13, 2017 at 6:02 pm #27384NY ComposerParticipantWe do havs SOS in the USA. I have a mail order subscription.
IMO it is the most informative music recording/technology mag out there.
I have to check out that article…….
May 22, 2017 at 7:16 am #27435SquarewaveMultimediaParticipantThis was an interesting read, thanks for the share!
How do you guys feel about the completed-album approach that he suggested?
May 22, 2017 at 7:47 am #27436UpFromTheSkiesParticipantHi SquarewaveMultimedia. That approach has worked for me with larger PMA libraries.
May 22, 2017 at 9:01 am #27437SquarewaveMultimediaParticipant@ UpFromTheSkies thanks, that is good to hear!
I will have to give this a shot as well
May 22, 2017 at 11:00 am #27438Michael NickolasParticipantHi SquarewaveMultimedia. That approach has worked for me with larger PMA libraries.
And it just worked for me last week with a smaller boutique library. Received a modest but acceptable upfront fee for each track.
May 23, 2017 at 8:18 am #27442abbymGuestThanks for sharing, I thought the article was well worth the $1.40 download fee (if you don’t already have a subscription).
May 23, 2017 at 3:51 pm #27444PhiltunesParticipantHi everyone the June part 2 read is out now.
May 25, 2017 at 8:38 pm #27449NY ComposerParticipantHey Guys,
Great article.
I don’t want to over complicate the authors strategy but in his full album approach, is he sending a playlist of equally mastered tracks to the Libs and calling it an “Album” or is he sending an album in the physical sense?
He really did not get specific on that point.
May 26, 2017 at 3:36 am #27450DannycParticipanteverything is digital these days i doubt anyone sends physical media anymore.
actually this brings up another point. for any of you guys working with exclusive libraries, how often do you actually chat to your publishers on the phone etc? i kinda realized that some of the libraries i’m working with i’ve only ever spoken to the A&R guys once and for others actually never.
do you think its important and helps form better relationships with the libraries by chatting now and again rather than doing everything by email?
