Yes indeed. And as mentioned above, it’s something you have to put the time and work into. Patience is key, you have to focus on the endgame. It takes at least a few years before you really get any kind of footing in this business and are earning a solid living. Coming at this with a ‘making money overnight’ attitude will only leave you disappointed.

Finding the right libraries is key for sure, and sometimes that’s a slow process of trial and error. Libraries that payout for one guy might not payout for another depending on their genre(s), personal style etc. So learn to be versatile in what you write, but even more important know when a particular genre ISN’T working for you. You can always come back to it once you’ve adapted a few others that have become part of your repertoire.

Hi Pat, congrats.

Stay confident … I’m finishing my 3rd year, and this past year things have almost tripled for me. I’ve collected roughly $11,000-$12,000 in just up-front fees from online libraries (let alone back end, freelance and score work …) I’ve also been seeing a steady trend of increasing purchases from basically all sites because, I’ve worked really hard on diversifying my repertoire and it’s paying off well…Stick with it, things will continue to pick up if you come at it with everything you have and stay optimistic.

Best of luck and hope the holiday treats you, (and everyone on here) well.

DSP Quattro is a phenomenal wave editor, I actually moved from Peak to that because Bias’s prices were getting so astronomical…

Check it out 🙂

(And as mentioned, Ozone 5 is definitely the way to go as far as a mastering plugin suite – it is nothing short of amazing… )
