Oh, well if you are not young.. If you believe in the song, Then simply hire “an Attorney that specializes in song placement/negotiations”. There are several, and that would get you a better deal in the long run! Are you a NARAS member? (National Academy Recording Arts and Sciences) or have a Chapter in your area?
I know this for a fact. “Unless you have someone that is either a close relative in the business; or someone that is seasoned has/will take you underneath their wing to mentor you. You are going to have to give a lot of your percentages, and/or first songs away to get in!”
With “no Plug-in, you have zero bargaining power, or leverage!!” The market is more closed than ever before, and the Sharks that were feeding on larger prey like Tuna; are now circling after The Minnows!!
You want the song “placed” with someone that has a chance at seeing the light of day? Get ready to give a minimum of 1/2 of everything.
Also, anyone that you are hearing a “Buzz” about? Rule them out immediately. There is a fortress wall around them!
My friend Chuck. We are on some of the same Libraries. I really enjoy your work!
I have a couple of ideas to share..1) Continually update your “Sound Portfolio”. It’s like a painter having new Canvas’ and Brushes.
2) Branch out, and try working on different styles that are in trend.
3) Re-address older portions of your catalog that are close to being finished. try adding New/timely drum programming. As well, a couple of additions here and there could bring them to life!
You need a person that pitches songs. Question: Do you have a specific artist in mind?
