Thanks kubed! CDbaby now allows you to opt out of the Youtube Content ID option (which I did). The Library said something about my current album being released in the digital domain as being the issue. I understand their point. I told them that I was about 40% done with Vol.2 album. They offered me two possibilities. 1. Buyout (I think we all know what that means). 2. Exclusive 5 year contract no reversion clause, 50/50 license and PRO split. But of course this would now apply to new material that I produce. As far as my faith in this libarary…hmmmm they have pretty good tracks in their library, there’s no highlight reel of their latest placements though, website is professional, no comments on MLR about the library though. They sound professional, they mentioned that they could even re-record my music with a live orchestra with my approval. I might end up just giving them a few new tracks just to see what they do with it. They promise to immediately add my tracks to their library and pitch it.

I followed it. I asked all the normal questions (contract length, reversion clause, etc.). It was going good and then I mentioned that I have my entire music album up on CDBaby, Itunes and Amazon. They said that they now cannot use that material even if I take down from those sites. Whoops!! They mentioned that other publishers don’t mind it but they do. They still sent me over a contract and told me to let them know immediately when I have new material. I guess I can’t “Two Steps From Hell” sell my music lol! They did say that my album was good enough to sell as just a Contemporary Classical album by itself. I might just have to do that.

Your interview lasted 45 minutes?! Any insights on the things they might ask or say? I am new at this so I am spending time now making sure I understand legal and contractual terms. But is there anything else I should be aware of?

A music library in England wants to do a Skype interview with me this Friday! And to boot, it’s at 7am in the morning! I am usually on my 3rd dream at that time of the morning. Yeah, but I told them the time was fine hahaha.
