If I have 10 similar ambient guitar tracks, it’ll make things much easier for me if I could just name them ‘Ambient Guitar 1?, ‘Ambient Guitar 2?
I’ve seen some composers do that. I try to make my titles reflect the mood and genre. Can’t always do it but try. I have one track called “Happy Hip Hop” that has an old school hip hop feel and seems happy to me. I’ve sold that track many, many times. I’d like to think the title gets someone interested enough to listen or maybe hits a keyword search.
However, a “special use” license may be requested from Big Fish Audio, free of charge, if you wish to use this product as part of a musical work intended for use with music libraries (some conditions apply, and Big Fish Audio retains the right to refuse any request that does not meet those conditions).
That’s the critical part. You have to look under the “Details” tab for each product on their site and find that section. It’s not in most of their products but I’ve never had a problem getting the “special use” license when it is there. It is a hassle though.
Big Fish do not allow any of there samples to be used in library music without clearance.
You have to read each products EULA carefully. Some of their products you can use in production music. Debbie is the contact person at Big Fish her e-mail is customerservice@bigfishgroup.net.
If used a few of their products this way but it is a big hassle and I usually avoid them.
There is no single right answer. We’re all at different places..different levels, following different business models.
Right on MichaelL.
BIGG ROME loves to pontificate but the truth, as MichaelL says, “There is no single right answer.”!
Great post MuscoSound and spot on.
How often do your specific time edits get used?
I find that they have more value on RF sites. In other words they consistently sell.
I try to make the edits as close to the time as possible. For loops I pick a section that’s not too busy.
Plus, there are a lot of styles I just don’t feel.
Maybe because I have been in so many bands and played so many types of music as a studio musician I actually do “feel” a lot of different types of music. Plus my A.D.D. is not happy if I focus too much! LOL!

Yeah, stupid WP keeps defaulting back to admin name (not a good thing) when I update my user profile. Fixed now.
I like trying all styles. Mainly because I like the challenge.
@The Dude. I didn’t restrict any of your posts. Sometimes the darn Internet thingy just doesn’t work right! 🙂
@bigg rome. It’s important to try and keep the threads on topic. If you want to discuss the online world, promoting music, social media, the new world order, etc there is a forum for that specifically. Please create a topic there:
Let’s try to keep it all in one place.
Thanks
Lots of deleted posts, topic closed. Please don’t hijack threads!
This is not some kind of Content ID service is it?
Nope.

When writing directly for a production company I’ve always been coached to take advantage of panning and to keep the “interesting” stuff (melodic instruments, etc) out of the middle so as not to create competition with the dialog. The more room for dialog the louder the music can be mixed without interfering. I’ve also been told to be careful with loud drums and percussive elements due to the fact that when the music mix is turned down to make room for other elements (dialog, etc) nothing will be left of the mix but a faint snare beat. On certain shows both of these things can keep a track from getting used.
