It’s genuinely refreshing to hear we all are on the same page 🙂
love ya guys, thanks for reaching out!

[maxquaini]

Thanks God! 😀

Art, is refreshing to hear I am not alone, especially coming from an expert like you!

Pam, yeah, it makes sense, actually, very close to GAS pleasing too lol

yeah Roscoe, my fault I’ve been using the 15 sec alt as an example, and maybe I went a bit off topic since we were just talking about stingers here.
I hope the meaning about being a bit “flexible” with starting and ending point was clear anyway.
Then I totally agree, it’s also pretty much depending o who you are working with and what they needs are.
Mine are usually shorter, from 6 to 12 sec usually, and most of the time I am using the final of the song.
Thank you Roscoe for giving me the chance to clarify!

[maxquaini]

I do the same as Art for stingers and bumps!
Actually in my opinion it’s a mix of things, the accuracy of the length of your alts matter, but sometimes you can be flexible as well if needed.
Sometimes your perfect alt is barely 14 sec and you need to “steal” some “time” in the beginning or the end, depending on the music as well. Indeed you better try to be as accurate as possible fitting the 15 secs.
Let’s say if I stopped overthinking and just doing the job at its best.

Interacting with people in the business is certainly a good point, still, if you don’t have a content to show I am not sure how much you’ll get noticed. Maybe forums and communities are a better place where to interact, like here for example.

I have been for a while on LinkedIn but honestly I couldn’t find it particularly useful – regarding our work – despite the presence of many supervisors. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t like the way LinkedIn is getting always more similar to FBook, where people seems more worried about spamming contents rather then really use it for its original purpose. It’s still a successful platform for more traditional jobs.

Btw, if you have some successful stories to share on LinkedIn I would be happy to hear them.

Lot of respectable advices there and again each one of us has been doing a different journey to reach the way to step into this business, but one thing for sure, it’s a marathon not a race. It’s a road full of trial and error, tons of no and rejections, you gotta keep strong, patience and keep working, trusting your work and keep producing. You’ll improve the quality of your works day by day and constantly learn very small things day by day and you’ll feel inside and slowly discover what’s working better for you. Constance is the key, definitely. Again, take me easy, it’s just my humble two cents.

[maxquaini]

Thank you Art,
your opinion matter a lot, I guess you used the key words, “personal contacts”.
That’s what worked for me but curious to know about other guys as well 🙂

[maxquaini]

sounds great! congrats!

[maxquaini]

Thank you for answering Art.
I know it’s similar to my previous post, it’s more a concern of my customer who wants to make sure I’m getting my writer’s right.
Like, making sure my PRO will have all the elements needed in order to recognize me my royalties.

. I’m actually fine with him, we both just want to make sure we are doing things properly

. On my PRO I just upload the mp3 and song’s data, title, length and (real) name writer (with percentage) it seems they have all the elements to find out when the music is generating royalties

. Yes I guess it’s supposed to be irrelevant, indeed can’t speak for every country

Thank you as usual for being super helpful Art.

[maxquaini]

Sorry not sure what you mean

[maxquaini]

Sadly cannot help but it’s a very interesting question!

[maxquaini]

Thank you for your reply Scott!
Yes it makes sense, I can understand it.
I’m more interested about the communicative part of it.
I’ve heard some libraries just sent out payments almost automatically but I was wondering if they also keep posted their artists about placements.
I guess it might be different from library to library (and even person by person) but I was wondering if there’s a sort of pattern in the way they interact with their artists.

[maxquaini]

Oh awesome to know! Thank you for your feedback!
