Great Question johnnyboy!…10 to 15 at a time……. gives my ears a chance to cool on the track.I get more inspiration when I walk away for a bit. if i can’t get it to work the way I want it to in a reasonable time or the compositions is just not happening… it gets deleted usually that only happens in the beginning phase…to many other melodies to pick from in the universe…but that’s just me ..I rotate like that and I have a hopper method I run it through Isotope and EXPOSE until I have that feeling you get when enough is enough and the track is good to go…..like Art I’m not fast so I don’t do deadlines….. my tracks are a representation of me and my work and I want people to feel an emotion from them and libraries to accept them so I take my time…I tend to do admin, check out plugins, tweak my templates, read MLR do any software upgrades in the morn and work on my tracks later in late afternoon into the evening along with a ice cold shot of good bourbon …..lol

If it helps your not completely alone I had the same issue with a track. They used 15 to 30 seconds of it 54 times on the MSG Network Fight Night….according to Tunesat…..but I could not find it on numerator searched and searched …there just seems to be to many gears in the music machine that can break and no one knows how to fix it or wants to….I enjoy making music and putting it in libraries but I kept telling myself …I must be crazy so “Welcome to the Machine”…………..I’ll continue keeping the dream alive by hitting the snooze button.RMcGravey90….
yeah what a downturn of things…wonder if these subscription models will finally wipe any libraries that support their composers..
this may need to be another topic …………..but
IMHO…Really good guitar players on this forum and elsewhere I know never get into the limelight or maybe they don’t want it ….instead I’ve tried to listen to players in commercial crap radio regurgitate covers of great songs or play 1 million notes a second that don’t speak to my soul….I won’t mention names lol…..constant ads of these people hyped when you go to music gear sites these days …. forgive me I really don’t think they are all that I guess that sells gear??… smh….not trying to be mean about it but have always had a wonder why attitude about this…so in the meantime I will continue to put my blood, sweat and tears…into gigs and the libraries ……I will hope that I am not wrong to feel this way…a little off topic but awesome playing bro…..very nice!I tried Audio Jungle it’s a very very tedious process not worth the effort IMO….movin on
Passing this along I received in an email…..is it worth the effort to try and stream on SC…anyone streaming for revenue on SC….thanks…

You do not have permission to view this content.I think my best strategy to to focus on “song” related tracks (as opposed to tension cues, etc…)

I think your dead on in your thinking……..I make full songs to stream then cut them up…
My Sci-Fi guitar track Otherworld ended up on a Fight Sports network ….I’m learning anything is up for grabs….still trying to get royalties on that one……….
Good advice BEATSLINGER….thanks I really needed that……I haven’t seen much movement lately….we had a saying in the military for occasions like this… “toughen up cupcake” meantime I’ll just keep swimming…..
Congrats daveydad …..I’m still down in the rabbit hole with BMI maybe I’ll get my quarter one day….lol
Officer…”What caused this accident” ………to much White Noise sir…..
Yep…very awesome…now get back to work 🙂
DavidM…I really like it especially around the 47 sec mark very nice… ….but…. then it fizzles out….I would be inclined to start the track at 47 sec…then go back and use the beginning and end as another track ….I find I do the same thing so I have to catch myself and stop it…lol …..it has to keep building and building…which I am still trying to master…your track sounds like more than one song to me ……here’s a nugget I got from a ninja warrior in the biz…sharing time… that I live by and constantly have to monitor constantly when I’m writing I hope it helps …and remember this is just my opinion…the mix is very good also.
• PROLOGUE – So always come out of the gates with exposing clearly where the track is going to end up. Imagine a library album for action music that all starts with brooding drones, well this will just sound like a brooding drone library and the editor will move on until she or he can here some action music.
• INTRO – We love doing these why? Because they’re EASY. Don’t indulge these, your editor isn’t here for that. Keep it short!
• SUBJECT 1 – Imagine introducing a character a motif or theme and build it to…
• SUBJECT 2 – Break down the first subject and develop the theme.
• SUBJECT 3 – Return to subject 1 but in a fuller more developed sense or modulated even.
• EPILOGUE – After the final cadence of the piece offer an echo of your main theme or motif.
