Hey Chuck thanks for the response. Emmett is very knowledgeable and his book is great. His advice is definitely solid in terms of getting started. I’m pretty sure he’s referring to mostly RF Libraries which aren’t necessarily aimed toward TV Networks and Music Supervisors.
My question is mainly relating to libraries like CM or JP etc. who are pushing their library to TV Networks. Now these libraries are asking composers to sign over exclusively and I see it happening more and more with other libraries. Obviously there’s a shift happening in the licensing industry.
I’m surprised no one else has responded, I thought this would be a hot topic! I know there’s no clear cut answer, I was just looking for opinions from experienced production music composers who might have some insight into how things are changing…
Anyone else care to throw in their 2 cents?
