Probably pennies or a total of very low dollars.
You should get something. Hard to know how much.
You should but it depends on how much.
1. Do you belong to a PRO?
2. Who placed the ad?
3. Where and when is it running?
4. How often is it running?They are listed here. The forum is not the proper place for library questions.
I’m disappointed a bit. Information here is not organized in a very thoughtful way.
Sorry you are disappointed. Any suggestions on organization?
MLR has been around since 2009. With over 50,000 posts, comments, topics and replies there is a lot to digest. After only being on here a few days it would be impossible for anyone to get a handle on all of the information. There are certainly older posts and the business has changed dramatically in the last couple of years. Still, there is a lot of useful info here.
As for the niche libraries that you are looking for: You would need need to do your due diligence with the many libraries listed here but, keep in mind, MLR is more about production music not micro niches.
As we have said many times: It’s a marathon not a sprint!
I have used a few of them:
Amazon A3. No storage costs but you will get killed on traffic costs. I am backing up five computers on a daily basis. About $160 per month.
Google Drive: $250 per year for 5TB – Up to 5 users. Too expensive for me.
Apple iDrive: $60 for 5TB the first year and $80 a year after that but only one user. Killer deal for me and that’s who I went with.
Just received this from DavidS:
“I wanted to share my experience of working with NRG. They are a Neighbouring Rights royalty collection service the I have signed up with. I am based in the UK with catalogs with DeWolfe and Sonoton that are used internationally. I was unsuccessful getting any Neighbouring Rights out of the PPL as they said they don’t collect for library pieces, But I have now opted out of PPL for this collection and NRG have found me royalties that were previously unclaimed.
Here is the contact details for Chris who is my contact chris.chirico@nrg-agency.com
Highly recommended for any library composer.”did anyone else notice a drop in domestic royalties but an increase in international royalties for this 3rd quarter
Same here.
Probably best to contact BMI with that question.
but I really don’t know what pitfalls to looks out for contract wise…
Just don’t give the music to them exclusively, non-exclusive only.
Hey Andy, congrats. That’s a nice payout, love that show!
I am being asked to sign a clause stating I cannot work in the music library filed for 1 year should I leave the library I am with.
They would have to pay me a lot of money to even consider that clause!
