    This literally is “War”. They are acting like they (libraries/catalogs/stock music sites) are the only game going, and if we are not with them personally & exclusively; we are missing “The Only Boat”..

    Sure, there is an “influx” of new writers; talented though? “The Real Premium are Quality, and Qualified Writers/Composers!!”

    I keep saying this.. No company in their right mind wants a guy that is composing $5/$10/$15 Cues. As well, the real companies aren’t signing them. We have to stand up for ourselves; and start letting them know “Who’s REALLY Buttering The Bread!!”

    I send collections out to multiple publishers, and whoever has the best offer/gets back to me gets the tracks!
    That’s what I have done also.

    I have been doing this as well. There is no harm in gracefully declining the offer for those Tracks/Music, and let them know that you are working on “What you feel is your best work yet” and that you will only submit it to them.. Wink, wink, wink.

    I just saw something about the movie “Straight Outta Compton” where the music supervisor was explaining that to “clear” certain usages of songs with multiple writers; they had to be “creative” and ONLY use the portions of the songs that were able to be licensed..

    Brother Kubed, You’re the best! The reason I actually posted this is not because I need it, but I was hoping that someone more knowledge like yourself would shed some light on this. I’m out of the loop when it comes to these types of “pay to play newbies” and I knew someone here would be able to “Bless it, or Hex it”.

    I personally don’t want any parts of this type of “ambiguous opportunistic schemes”…

    Hmmm. Sounds to me like “you trusted your gut and it doesn’t feel right”..

    Plenty of Fish in this Sea. Does it feel to you a tad “desperate?” Sounds like it..

    I have been passing on those too, with no regrets..

    Hello Joe Powell, I enjoyed listening immensely!! Fresh, innovative (1-2-3 Stop! is FIRE!!) I personally would not change a thing, except I would do more guitar work because it’s working!! Sounds like you’re just needing to get with “Some Very motivated Companies, that are not looking for Cookie-Cutter Music!!”

    I will PM You..

    Also, what an Adorable Baby!!! 🙂

    Otherwise, being exclusive is too limiting in a market that’s expanding and changing exponentially every year.

    TRUTH!! As well, these Libraries are acting like they are “Demi-Gods” lately.. GTFOH

    LOOK. You can get these $5/$10/$!5 cue writers all day long, BUT the real “I can write/compose in damn-near ANY style writers? You need to address those egos, and come again!!” Top tier writers will ALWAYS have a say-so, because we are the “true life’s blood of this industry!!”

    I just passed on adding a new exclusive to my roster (Starts with an E) “They were passing on My Strongest Stuff” and picking “My Mindless, fill the space afterthoughts..” Also, The guy in his “So-Called Studio” was trying to give me his.. Feedback.. Tell me what my mixes were lacking. It was OBVIOUS HE was NOT in a real studio; didn’t have satisfactory monitoring, nor decent Subs..lol

    I digress, and ranted..lolol

    Not doing advertisement at all, but I am SESAC..
    I personally have seen monies from The UK, France, and Canadian PRO’s that are more than usually OUTSTANDING!! Also, I feel certain companies have VERY outdated ways of tabulating our monies in their favor, or in favor of “Bigger Fish that they are courting..”

    Just my “2 Peso’s” BUT, there are more Fish in the Sea than just ASCAP..

    As well, there are foreign PRO’s that are GREAT at processing royalties that come from The USA!!

    The best Feedback I can give is
    1) Don’t give up no matter what!
    2) You’re following the (not so good) track writers, that are waiting for a M.C/Rapper to make the track come together. It sounds incomplete/missing some key elements to make it a “Composition”..
    3) “Try” working without using quantization. The tracks are WAY too rigid, and it’s blocking what could be a natural groove
    4) You can get placements now, but you would be playing the $5/$10/$15 Cue Game. You need to steer away from that to set yourself apart from the pack of writers doing the same thing. Work on YOUR creativity, and start identifying YOUR OWN style!!

    Wish you well, and I hope this helped! If you would like to hear my work, send me a PM, and I will send you some links..

    So I have been in the market for a new keyboard controller and am seeing that options are limited.

    Options are limited? You must be in a Rural Area..

    The best way to find the right Midi Controller for you is to “lengthily test drive them”

    Not a advertisement for Guitar C, but they are “damn Near everywhere”. Go, and ask a LOT of questions, and try some out to see what works the best for you. Also, If you are in the USA there is a 30day no questions asked return policy…

    Hello to all!

    No offense, but isn’t this a part of the problems that are taking in place in this instance of “The Current Music Situations?”

    People so busy taking the easy route, and shortcuts; rather than getting the sense of accomplishment by being faced with the opportunity of being challenged to learn, and to grow?

    In this modern day society, it seems like everything is being handed; rather than being able to forge into uncharted territories to unlock YOUR true potential..

    Sorry, it’s out there, and I feel I needed to say what is truly in my heart..
