For libraries that require links for auditioning, I upload tracks to Soundcloud, designate them as private so only people who have the specific link address I send them can listen to the tracks.

I did too Art.Very nice surprise.Not to be a Debbie Downer but it’s not lost on me that this is a venture capitol group coming in so they’re going to get theirs somehow and maybe from the writers in the end. We’ll see.

Thanks RM90. I realize it can vary for specific requirements so I was mainly after how most composers do their edits if there is no specific requirement.

Hey Alan, Thanks for that.That’s a good point to remember that not all libraries want the exact same thing. Generally accepted practices is what I was looking for and will work for me unless, as you said,specific requests are made.

Again good info to keep in mind. Thanks again rkmusic1

Hey rkmusic1, Thanks for the super fast reply and yes that absolutely helps.I will keep that in mind for all my future cues. I’ll be able to be more consistent when it comes to doing edits now. Much appreciate it 🙂

The 80/20 rule works for me. Compose what you are best at and you’ll most likely see better returns with less effort allowing you to increase your output as well imo.

[Pat]

Not worth the potential worry. I would just move on and create new tracks.

Just got the official “Important Announcement: Transition to New Payment and Statement Portal” in my email 5 min ago. Checking it out now and thanks Art for responding!

[Pat]

Thanks for that Art. I had deleted the email not realizing who they were so I actually filled out the Anthem Entertainment “contact” form asking to resend the link to the invite. I have tracks at JP and wasn’t sure if it’s something I should be concerned about so I won’t worry about. I hadn’t decided what I would have done anyway.

[Pat]

I agree Advice but since tracks that are supposedly being shopped can linger for months or years what’s that say for the one’s that aren’t being shopped? That’s why I’m checking them out.

[Pat]

Good info LAwriter. Thanks for chiming in.

These are venture capitalists.They might squeeze the juice out of BMI then throw away the peel. Reminds me of when JNJ bought out the company I worked for. Things started with the same speech we’re hearing now then slowly but surely, little by little things we considered perks started disappearing.

[Pat]

Thanks soundroad. That’s actually one of the libraries I had in mind.

Last qtr was close to the best ever while this qtr was about half that. Last qtr was more of a shock than this one though.
