3 cues a day is nothing for me and I don’t even do this full time.
So, in other words, DI – you STILL don’t get it! :p
I’ve seen the opposite from JP. Since going exclusive with them last year, I’ve had a sharp increase in uses for promos etc. I think it’s hard to say what’s really working. I wish there were some more specific analytics available in the J Player. Would be interesting to compare plays with NE tracks vs E…I suspect it’s not an accident that they never brought back the analytics though. 🙁
For me, my better paying Broadcast placements of 2013 were mostly from Exclusive cues. I’m curious if others saw that happen with their portfolios as well…? Overall, exclusive tracks have also performed better for me but I was somewhat late to the game as far as NE library work, so I’m not that great of an example in terms of the trend.
Funny Art – I was just going to send this….
The backend may be only a few dollars (or even cents). When busy people get chased for $5 they don’t like it, and it makes you look desperate.
I’m with MichaelL on this. Contacting the producers (or a library!) this soon after a placement airs is an amateur move and not how you want to come across to anyone. This is a business of patience and moving on to the next cue! Sure, make sure you log the info and continue to monitor the usage so that if you aren’t paid many months down the road you can follow-up but I definitely would not try and contact someone right away. Congrats on the spot.
For the last year and a half, I have signed almost every contract/schedule I’ve received with an app called Docusign. It’s a wonderful app I highly recommend. In my experience, libraries don’t care as long as it looks like a signature (not using an auto generated nice cursive looking sig). With docusign you can draw in your own sig and save it so that when you go to sign a contract you just tap the area and you are good to go! – B
I’m in the same boat. I have almost 100 detections on Tunesat this month for a placement on GAC-not sure from which library. Anybody know anything about this network?
I have had a bunch on GAC this last month also. Since it is also a Scripps baby, don’t hold your breath! – B
Plus: in this age of “give us your music for free, exclusively, for no money up front” …I would ask the question, “how far does exclusive go?” Maybe it’s just the lawyer in me, but I wouldn’t extend it to new works from old works.
+1 on that! I have done this frequently on exclusive deals. Particularly when it’s a good cue that gets traction somewhere. I do spend time making it different in some unique ways ( I think that’s important if you go that route). I wouldn’t personally do this for anything you are paid for upfront by a high end lib (but even then depends on how much the cue is altered, I think!) I’ve only done this in the lower end blanket libs…
Interesting idea! Seems like they would need to get some big names on board, in order for this to get any real traction/attention. But, then again…who knows!?
The trick is to use the most transparent limiter you can, my go to is the Fabfilter pro L. It is outstanding , you can demo it next to your own go to.
+1 on all things Fabfilter! I use Pro L on every track. Pro Q and Saturn are also amazing.
Why not just have a real life presence?
Sometimes I wonder if you are really just a 12 year old trying to pester everyone on this forum…C’mon man. Seriously!?
Of course it’s a joke…I got a good chuckle out of the demo reel.
