The number floating around here seems to be 1000-1500 but then you have to define what a “living wage” is.
I write about 50-60 alone or with my wife Robin. Mostly non-exclusive.
Thanks Denis, love it!
There is hope yet and, I’ve always believed, “Technology always wins!”.
After submitting my music to a library, am I still free to post it on my website, facebook, youtube etc. without making it available for sale or is this an unwise practice to begin with?
If exclusive it depends on the contract and you will get a number of responses on why you should or shouldn’t with non-exclusive.
I believe I can create quality tracks in a timely manner but most of the time I’m a tweak head about every little detail of every song.
I tweak a lot and shouldn’t. Generally not a good thing in this end of the biz. One of my bigger paying placements was something I knocked off in three hours. Didn’t have time to tweak.
Do a search on “pseudonym” in the search box in the upper right hand corner on using a different name.
Because forum posts, at times, do not correctly convey a person’s tone, I have deleted a number of snarky posts on this thread.
Please think twice before posting!
@More advice: Please don’t discuss libraries, by name, on an open forum.
Why? Please read Home page.@MarkL. Yes, very impressive. Had no idea.
Dude, you are a living legend!
Thanks DI. A lot of “right place”, “right time”.
Well my IMDB is not very up to date but this site has managed to pull a lot my credits in to one place. Including some music library stuff.
How do it know? 🙂http://www.allmusic.com/artist/art-munson-mn0000729099/credits
Well said soph!
I don’t leave any silence for these types of mixes. If they were stems I would. That way everything would line up properly.
is anyone seeing increased activity in exchange for going exclusive? I guess it’s too early in the game to tell.
Too early to tell for me. I’m not investing too much in it at this point.
Thanks to TagTeam for this. I had to edit and put the examples on another page. It seems the forum doesn’t like embedded links.
I thought I’d jump in here.
I’ve been in the production music field about 8 years and consider myself a relative newbie. One of the things I initially liked about the business was the non-exclusive, re-title (retitling as in sharing the PRO publishing income) aspect. As the business has evolved what I don’t like is the exclusive, give us your music for 5 years and hope we get you something, model that is emerging. I have made exceptions for the two companies that have placed a lot of our music on the old non-exclusive model. That’s a risk I’m willing to take.
I’m also burning out a bit on RF sites where I feel that uploading more and more tracks does not really generate much more income. In fact it stays fairly stagnant, with an exception or two. Now I realize some of this could be a reflection on my music and that I can live with.
The bottom line is that I am always trying to find new angles to market our music, thinking inside and outside the box. I may not agree with Richard’s approach but I certainly understand it and his frustration.
