Hello to all!
Unless we are talking about some type of new concept where you get paid a ridiculously low price for the composition/song; and there is NO backend. This has been going on for YEARS, and backend royalties have been the major source of my income..
I personally still don’t trust “Cloud based storage, and Time Machine” so I still have a “couple” of external drives that I send my work to..
I would say “It doesn’t hurt to ask”
BUT, don’t just send something you know they don’t have; without being in touch with them, and getting their permission..
Once again, this is a GREAT place to do research!!
Like, for instance. I know “Cavendish Music” does not want Hip Hop, but I was in touch with an affiliate; and got into another Library through (being prepared) making the relationship..
How do you go up against the biggies, like Getty Images? They take 35% of writers and 100% of publishers. If not for them I would have nothing.
How do you go up against the biggies? Why go up against them; just bypass them, and work with Libraries & Catalogs that are doing MUCH better business!!
You are part of a “Very Candid Community here” and simply by doing your research, and watching the comments. You should be able to set yourself up quite nicely!!
I wish I would have known about this forum earlier, but better late than never.
Hello to All!
I am waiting to see if another Mac Desktop Model comes out this Xmas Season. I have my 12Core “Work-Horses”, and LOVE them. But, I know they are gonna start phasing them out of the updates some time soon.. I personally think they made a mistake switching from a “Battle Tank to an Air Purifier!” I am thinking the lack of sales will have them bringing a “Heartier Model” some time soon..
You know something, it’s fun to watch “The Rounders” speak about their cues. The only people that I am noticing that are not in the convo are “Abby”, “Pat”, and “LAWriter”.
Good morning. I would say this.. I would start with “several non-exclusives”. Even if they are “Reality based, or low paying” take the work! Build your confidence, and your portfolio by getting a lot of placements. Those placements will lead to bigger things!!
Do a MASSIVE amount of research/studying of the exclusive libraries, and start pitching after you have gotten your confidence level up. Be VERY selective, and stingy with whom you provide exclusive catalog content; until you see that your tracks will not just sit around waisting away.’
To run concurrent with the non-exclusive libraries would be “RF/Pay Per Cue” libraries, and sites. Select a few, and make sure that you are not infringing on anything contractually (Pond5 would be a top choice to start) with each one of those..
Just my Dos Peso’s..
I have seen some really good tutorials. The only thing is “They want you to join a paid subscription after showing you a few really well done basics..”
If I might. There is this guy from Texas, that has one on YouTube where he “took the mystery out of The Circle of Fifths!!”
Once again though, it leads to a paid subscription..
You are too kind! I am humbled! (bows head)
Thank you Brother LA!! Just getting them solid, and ready to go “To Market”
You don’t like my abrupt ending? I was trying for my (Seinfeld episode) “Beat Nazi approach”..
“NO BEATS FOR YOU!!”
hahaha
Hope you don’t mind Brother LA. I sent you a couple of attachments in your PM
Good Attitude!
Congratulations Brother Kubed!!
LAWriter, my friend. You mean it is not alright to rotate my textures? I guess I’m just back to only rotating My Hips.. Party Pooper! 8-P
Good morning Alan, I can’t speak for ASCAP (SESAC here) but I have a feeling you will get a bigger Computer!
Look at it this way as well. This will lead you to even bigger things by “listing your placements for other Libraries/Catalogs to see!!”
Congratulations, and keep it moving!!
