Thanks a lot for the replies gentlemen. I appreciate the info!

“Artists” can be a pathetic, desperate, delusional bunch. I can only imagine that some think they will get their start there and be on their way. ….the next John Williams. Race to the bottom! To be fair it isn’t just artists that are in that race. God, it is so pathetic though.

Looking forward to seeing what this is like. Thanks.

Mark P. Thank you very much for sharing here. Great information that I’m sure is much appreciated in this forum.

I guess if you license a piece 500 times it makes sense but….
I saw some decent stuff that has been there for years with little to no licensing. Not sure how accurate the numbers are or who the people are licensing some of these tracks so many times. Are there really 500 people that are going license the same track in a year or two? This market is new to me and it seems a bit odd.

Also, to get back on topic, thanks for the links. I will definitely check them out. I would add http://www.gearslutz.com for audio stuff. It is a great site for recording and production info.

Thanks for the info and advice. I think that I will probably end up buying it after I check out the demo some more. It is important to me to create the most realistic orchestral sound possible.

Nothing specific… just an overall impression of its usefulness and quality. I generally haven’t concerned myself very much with panning and spacing with orchestral mixes, but have been interested in it as of late and am weighing my options. Thanks

It is unethical in my opinion for a company to not pay a composer for his/her work when the production is a profitable enterprise (such as a cable television program).

I would second getting “All You Need to Know About the Music Business” by Donald S. Passman. It is a great book that covers all the basics and is written in an easy to read style. I would also recommend as a general reference to film/tv music the book “On the Track” by Fred Karlin and Rayburn Wright. This isn’t specifically geared towards copyright, publishing, etc, but is a wonderful resource on the art, craft, and business of film music.

Best
