This is portion of the industry is slow.
Knowing what I know now. The best things you can:
1) Do not sit around and wait, counting money you “think you should get”.
2) Do not count on this to save your life!Get those thoughts out of your head, keep grinding, and shoot for The Top Tier!!
Would love some help if possible.
I’ve been offered a 100% Writers to me and they take 100% Publishers with a 50/50 Sync Fee split. How does this look to composer who are use to deals.Honestly, I would “Spend The Bread, and “Sit Down” with someone that can really go through the contract with You'”. Certain things “Might” seem the Norm/Typical, but it’s better to really have someone “break everything down and tell you exactly what it means!”
I figure it will give you an opportunity to gain the knowledge, by knowing the terminology, and “general legalese”. From there, You will “pretty-much” see the same wording in future contracts; and know the gist of things.
To go back and re-do things instead of taking that time to write/produce new music is a backwards thinking gamble for me. That’s just my personal perspective.
I’m so RIDICULOUS with having to write new stuff; that I will write to “Stock-Pile” certain Genre’s.
THEN, when the time comes to submit those types of Cues. I STILL end up writing them all brand new..Also, I completely forgot about this..

If Universal Production Music is doing a contest where you can use Splice Loops/Samples; and the winner will be included in their Library/Catalog..
Then there were also some instances of sample packs appearing that included loops ripped straight from Heavyocity’s Damage and other sample packs!
I’m not using Splice myself but I thought that some people on here might want to know about this.
I have a question about this, and I haven’t seen any mention of this..
Are the Items/Loops that are for sale in Splice “Electronically Marked, or Fingerprinted?”
Seems that would be a major factor to this..
A quick read of the decision: basically, the jury found that “Dark Horse” had similar elements that they heard in “Joyful Noise.” They listed a few examples like the sound of the 808 kick, the tempo and the similarity of the shape/arc of the melody. So the good news is, unless something changes this looks like a new revenue stream for litigious songwriters.
Call me “Woke.lol” but, this “REEKS” of something “totally else” going on. I mean, just the publicity, and media coverage alone is worth WAY more than they could “potentially/possibly” pay out..
This is B.S!! My Gut tells me there is “A WHOLE other Agenda”.
They do sound pretty close, lined up next to each other.
Also the ‘you know what it is’ vocal that they both have in the intro, is hardly a coincidence.It’s a No for Me Dawg..
There simply has to be another motive behind this. To even say that Finger-snaps (A non melody/non musical Item) is similar, means that we would have to “Really Stretch” to find anything of similarity..
Yes, Trap, Hip Hop, and Trailer are WAY Over-Saturated. I would say “Ride out The Storm, and Team Up with a Few People”
Do some co-composing where You are providing the Trailer/Orchestral’s, and they supply the other ingredients.I do like the thought of having more people bringing new ideas to the table though.
You answered the “Key Element” in Collaboration.
Yes, Collabs can be Educational, and quite beneficial as well. In addition to being able to cover “more Ground” in terms of getting into Libraries/Catalog. I have also found this to be a successful way to break new composers/writers in Top-Tier Libraries.The “Exotic Shores of San Diego”?LOL
You been in The Fish Taco Sauce?Welcome Jim, I hope You find what You’re looking for, and more!
I know this forum has helped Me a great deal!!
Most libraries covers just about every style known to man.
Sure, there’s trailer libraries and some boutique libraries have only music of a certain theme (drama and documentaries for example), but most libraries that have 50+ albums seems to cover most things.I’ve certainly never seen a library that specialises in happy tropical ukulele. I’ve seen many that covers that style though.
I just “Searched Ukulele Production Music” and got OVER 5,000,000 results..
Hi there, and welcome Glenn.
Let’s hear what your tracks sound like.
Drop a link..
Any advice from other users also welcome!
Just my take. The “Tone” of The Piano is not very pleasing to me. I would go with something that “has a Richer, and Warmer Tone.
Also, you want something to go under the Piano to give it “that something else, and possibly a bit of movement”. Not pushing a product, but I would go with Omnisphere.
What about SESAC? From what I know, it’s the only PRO that is considering Tunesat detections…
Unless something has changed. SESAC is not open for public registration..
