I wouldn’t expect the music sup to ask for the publishing share but it might be a deal breaker. I would make it non-exclusive and re-title the music so they only get the publishing royalties on those titles.
I would have to disagree with the Taxi comment. I joined them three different times over the couple of decades they have been around. I never found it useful but YMMV.
I generally don’t let MLR get involved in Taxi discussions as I have learned it can quickly descend into chaos.
Another quick way to find the latest comments.
https://musiclibraryreport.com/more-library-comments/. The link is also on the left hand margin of every page.
One other thing. I just got rid of the nested comments. It can get confusing as sometimes people will respond to the wrong comment. Let me know what you think. I’m also thinking of getting rid of the “paging” of comments. That might be more of a problem as some libraries have over a thousand comments.
Okay guys, you spoke, I listened. Dates are back on library comments!
Hi Raffi,
Yes it can be overwhelming when first starting but success is achievable. You could find all you need to know just on the free forums here but you would need to do a lot of digging. I’ve never taken a course but that’s not to say they are bad. I just don’t know about them. As we like to say this is marathon not a sprint. So, take a deep breath, listen to a lot of music on the various libraries, do a lot of research and believe in your self!
Thanks everyone for your comments and yzzman1 stated my position exactly. There is a lot of great information on MLR that may be older but is still relevant. Human nature, being what it is, has a tendency to discount anything that appears older in their eyes.
That being said, I have thought about it and the one area I might bring back the dates would be on the libraries. Sometimes they can get stale. I doubt I would bring them back on the forums though.
Once again, thanks for the comments and keep them coming.
ADREV will only collect royalties and not issue copyright strikes. At least that was my experience with them. I’m now with Identifyy and so far they have not interfered.
Got our BMI Statement this morning. Mediocre would be my word also. The most startling placement was for a song I co-wrote in 1978 showing up on The Today Show on NBC. Go figure.
@audioscott. Yep you are right. Just checked mine and the same here.
Glad to hear that MM_Musicworks. Only the 19th here so hasn’t hit the U.S. yet.
We’ve been at this for about 15 years. For us it was only a few years but the business has changed a lot since then. Much tougher now as the market is saturated with music. It is a long game though so I would keep at it.
Please keep any comments, about a library, at their listing here. This should go here: https://musiclibraryreport.com/p-to-p/pond5/
Art, what if the promos appear on Numerator with an ad code? Can you send it to ASCAP/BMI along with the video as proof to get paid? I have around 20-30 promos that have ran on Fox News and Fox Business.
Haven not heard of promos with an ad code. Call the commercial dept in Nashville and ask them. They are usually very responsive.
