Just got this in email

We’ve got some money for you. We’re not kidding.

Hi there,

We’ve noticed that you’ve never uploaded any of your music to Music Xray.

Today and this weekend, we will give you $1 in credit for each song you upload into your account (up to $8).

Log in and get started now.

Caution, this is only valid for direct uploads, not music we import for you (although automatic imports from SoundCloud are covered under this offer).

We will check your account next week and we will credit your account before Friday November 2nd, 2012

Thanks Anon, you mean over $600  per  year or per library ?

In the second case I mean that once I exceed earnings of that number in library (regardless of time period)

This topic is closed. It should have really been under the JP library listing in the first place.

Generally, you can re-submit at a later time.

Have you got to let them know its non exc cause I just gave them a bunch of stuff like I used to and didn’t specify it was non Exc

I’m on a bunch of episodes on that series but according to Tunesat it didn’t start until the second quarter of this year. Should show up on the next BMI statement. Can’t see all the cue sheets on BMI’s site.

@smiley J. You are starting to sound a bit like our old friend Yadgyu. Coincidentally your IP address and his two IPs are from the same general area in Michigan. Could it be?

[Art Munson]

Doesn’t matter AFAIK. I have a number of cues that have not been registered as sometimes, it appears, that shows assign their own name to a cue.

Newbie Alert!!!

Good to hear that X2 seems to be an improvement over X1. I’ve used Sonar since ver 4 until I upgraded to X1 and then I bailed. And as Art mentioned, 8.5 was by far the superior version. Anyways, look forward to bending some ears

a fly in the ointment.

In response to ASCAP’s decision- I love the process of creating music, both songs and instrumentals. And I have built a decent middle-income career and business around this industry and skillset. And I did so based on a certain understanding of ASCAP’s distribution structure. And now, ASCAP has pulled the rug out from my career, reducing my payments (a huge piece of my overall salary and business model), by 70%. This is completely outrageous in a time when the value placed on music is diminishing by the day.

 

I hope things work out for you. That is a huge drop in income. Perhaps you can find ways to diversify your income through live performances. I see that ASCAP is going to start allowing composers to collect money for live performances.

Ya know. When Paul first got elected as president of ASCAP I nudged him a bit on this (I’ve known him for years, toured and played on many of his albums). He said he knew of the problems and wanted to make things better. Doesn’t seem to have been much of a change from the stories I hear. Glad I stuck with BMI!

[Art Munson]

It is a good thing that a petition is being started and that songwriters are talking to ASCAP. But will these efforts really do anything? I think that composers could better spend their energies doing other things.

This topic could be a good spot to add to and keep up to date. Thanks Mark.

I’ve only spent a few days on it but here’s what I like so far.

1.) Selecting, highlighting and lassoing clips is more logical.
2.) To move a clip you only have to grab the top of the clip. You don’t have to highlight it as before.
3.) Automation lanes are a big improvement though I haven’t quite figured out all the behavior changes for the cursor. There’s much more so check out the video above. It’s 26 minutes long but worth it.

[Art Munson]

I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying X2.  I’ll be upgrading soon myself.

Just out of curiosity, what are the changes that have made you a happy camper?
