Thanks Art, that helps. No one has an opinion on the best libraries out there no?

I understand the pot luck factor in getting placements and making money through libraries. You could have a track in a high end library that payed you 500 quid but never saw the light of day in terms of getting placed and then have a similar quality track in a non-exclusive that gets placed multiple times generating thousands for you. I get it.

The question I am asking refers to the QUALITY of the music. Obviously I would hope the BEST Film/TV/Advertising production companies want the BEST music so they would go to a library that has only the BEST music. Lets face it, so many libraries are taking on low quality music. The big production companies don’t want to sift through all the crap just to find a handful of good tracks. There must be some libraries out there that are go-to libraries for these big production companies. You know, libraries like Killer Tracks or KPM in the UK. The ones that don’t just put any old music in their library. The ones that pay their composers. I’m sure I could find some through this site, but using the search function and putting in “up front fees” and “exclusive” only brings back two results ! There has to be more out there. The ones that every composer dreams of getting into.

Can anyone give any details on these libraries? Specifics on up-front fee’s? Types of contracts that are offered? Or even a source where this information can be found?
