@PAMMusic. I don’t remember ever building track on a loop (not sure what your definition of a loop is). I usually start with a typical 8 bar A section. Maybe a B section depending if it enhances the A and build from there. If I need inspiration I go out and listen to some music. In terms of production ideas there is a lot to be learned in today’s music. Lately I have been listening to the hits of 2021.
@maxpower Congrats to you and well done! There is always money to be made in music. The rules may change, the business may change but if one is nimble enough success can be achieved. You have proven that!
I think @composer covered it pretty well. There is “no one size” fits all as each library will have their own requirements and procedures. Best to start a dialog with any library you might be interested in. They would be the best source to answer specific questions. And finally, as has been stated many times her before, “It’s a marathon not a sprint”.
Best of luck to you on your journey!
Great topic!
From my point of view, as someone that’s been in the music making business for decades, I want to know/learn as much as I can. Whether it’s composing, playing, engineering or mixing. In this day and age there are a lot of tools available that make it much easier, including a lot of free info and YouTube videos. For software I use Ozone 9 but there are many other ways to get there.
As for mixing: I will hire someone on special projects but it’s very rare. Frankly I enjoy doing as much as possible myself.
Congrats to you boinkeee2000. Wishing you the best for 2022 and beyond!
Not for me on Univision. You can also check here for the paying networks.
I never received any payments from the Outdoor Channel. Anyone else?
Hi PAMMusic. I would think that it would go to your PRS account but I’m just guessing. Have you contacted your PRO to ask them?
@maxquaini. Yeh, I kind of agree with you. I have it pretty well automated for MLR and tried it with music. Works pretty well for MLR but I think is a waste in the wasteland of social media. Just too much stuff out there. Personal contacts will always be the better way to go, IMHO.
Thanks MM_Musicworks. That’s quite a story. I’m sure that NYT reporter would not be happy with people plagiarizing his work for money. Shameless!
This is a subscription site. I just listed here: https://musiclibraryreport.com/t-to-z/motion-array/
They are few and far between. You would have to do the leg work and work through the high end libraries. Best to have a compelling project that covers something they do not already have.
The other thing that came up is how does the “master” hosting space make their money? It would have to be enough to make it worthwhile.
We tried this here on MLR, with a number of composers, working with LicenseQuote. The biggest problem we ran into was who was going to be “allowed” in the library. The thinking being it had a tendency to be elitist. Who was going to make the decision on who would be allowed into the library? A committee? After a while it proved to be unworkable.
