Hi Echoflex,
Yeah – for sure, like I said not a good solution. It would be easy enough to have an “add to cart” button instead of a link to the composers site, and one checkout flow with multiple tracks from multiple composers in the cart – I just mentioned the first way because I didn’t want to have to deal with the accounting. The payment has to go to one account initially, and later split out….the automatic split out part may be expensive to set-up.
Other then the automatic split out the first bullet points you mentioned are not that difficult to set up.Hi Echoplex,
I hear you!
One idea I tossed about was having a main site that composers on my platform (ComposerSpace.com) could “push” tracks to with one click. (I have the domain “ComposersMusicDirect.com“)
One idea, in the main site, ComposersMusicDirect.com, was to just link the track back to the composers own site….not really ideal, but it eliminates massive accounting that I wouldn’t want to deal with. So…instead of the “buy” button adding the track to a cart, it would take the buyer to the tracks page on the composers own site. Like I said – not really ideal at all….the pitch to the clients would be – “we’re tired of getting ripped off by the middleman, buy direct from us!” But many probably don’t care, as you said. Of course you still have the filter issue – who decides who gets to push tracks to the main site?Interesting idea echoflex. How would you envision it working?
Thank you audioscott!!
Thank you Art!
My partner and I are getting ready to launch a website builder specifically for composers.
It offers a lot of features you won’t find in a wix.
Main features are:
-Drag and drop page builder
-Searchable catalog pages (2 styles of catalog pages, TV/film composer or concert composer)
-Sell/license audio tracks, collections and sheet music.
-Display alternate versions and similar tracks on a track’s page
-Catalog management system to keep track of all one’s metadata. Metadata fields are numerous. Features
include: clone tracks, bulk edit meta data, filter and export catalog to a spreadsheet.Here’s a demo site we set up:
https://demosite1.composerspace.com/Here’s a woodwind quintet I wrote. Sounds are Noteperformer via Sibelius.
It’s a score video on Youtube.
Invention for Woodwind Quintet-Scott Munson-score video
Originally a piano piece of mine I arranged for woodwind quintet.I was too late for the Member Survey but took the Publisher Survey.
There was no “$300” question in it.
Told them I was thinking of switching to BMI from what I’ve heard here.
