Hey guys, how does Sourceaudio compare to Tunesat, Thanks
It may be a little soon for you to start with this. I would wait till i have about 50 tracks or so. Very useful though for composers and publishers to keep track of what is actually going on.
Just a word of caution for all. The PMA is a huge organization with many members and only a handful of those could be considered Elite. Any library can join the PMA just like any composer can. No barriers. The PMA (elite) will bash non exclusive work and RF work and unless you are an A list composer will not offer any upfront. For many of us, this is not realistic and the PMA admin does not realize or accept that. In some ways it is like an exclusive club and if you do happen to meet anyone of importance at their events. The first question is “So, which libraries do you work for ?” If you do not have any A lists in there, it does not go very far. And if you mention Non Ex or RF, it will NOT go down well at all. In some cases, doing the walk and doing the talk supersedes talent and you will find a few A list composers who do just that. If anyone is going to the PMA conference this year, just be prepared. @LAwriter, I think you have this whole thing well figured out. Good luck y’all
Hi Kallin,
congrats !!! Please feel free to ask any questions and people will respond. We have a healthy and helpful little community here, cheers

You will find lots of entries with many making just a few cents. But then a few will be a lot more, (a few dollars). It doesn’t all depend on the number of views. As music1234 said, there are other variables. I will find out what those are and get back to everybody on this thread. My estimate was based on current growth rate, six months to a year down the line, and with more tracks. I should have clarified that.
Just to remind everybody that there are other sites besides AdRev doing the same thing, although AdRev is the biggest player. It may be worth your while to do some research.
sure, you can submit whatever you like. I get the feeling that this will grow fast in the next few years so it is good to position yourself.
I have already dipped my feet in there. I signed up about 6 months ago ago with about 50 tracks. It takes about three months to start seeing any results at all. I have made some earnings so far, i estimate that at the current rate i will be making about 60 to 80 per month but it may keep going up. Just make sure you pull out the same tracks from the libraries that do not approve. No problems with any clients so far who have purchased the same tracks from libraries that do not mind. Cheers
Hi LA writer,
Very insightful post, thank you…. I have gotta say that I find myself agreeing with most of your points. I find myself pursuing a more or less a similar direction. i hope that gives us both the confidence that it is an appropriate strategy. BTW I am in OC, I assume you are in LA. Would love to meet sometime and chat over a latte.
Hi Glen,
In my knowledge, being a PMA member has no connection with royalties. I am also an American composer and i work with several European libraries. Being a member of Harry Fox may help if there are mechanicals involved. The royalties take a little longer than local PRO’s. Hope that helps
Hi Rorywill,
Congratulations, your music is very good. I agree with you that you could get to the point quicker but even then you could still see some sales. My advice is to write lots of music and keep working, grab whatever gigs you can at this point, the experience is worth it. Try many different styles and genres and see what works for you. Everyone has a different skill set… We are lucky to do what we do, don’t give up 🙂
The cue sheet totals are on the dashboard, right in front LOL !!! Still looking for episode totals
Yes, I am also having the same issue. I hope ASCAP will take note !!!
Hi Scad,
You might want to try a different vibe. Think corporate music, positive and uplifting, catchy melodies and beats. It seems that, at least for me, it sells more and is more in demand. Best of luck !!!
Albion is great sounding but needs more articulations. Have not used symphobia but i hear good things.
