Thanks guys. My beef is that I have to wait one year for things to show up in my PRO here in Iceland, and then thats for the year before, so almost two year old info.

Since I throw songs all around and write fast sometimes I need to know if a library is good or not, fast, especially if I take a few months and concentrate on this.

This is more important now than ever since I´m being asked for exclusives all the time, which is bad, cause it locks my songs in a certain library.

I don´t think my PRO is doing badly, it´s just the usage shows up so late.

I thought ASCAP was the go to PRO for the US.

Thank you Art, this has helped me a lot.

Thank you Art,

so you just cut up the original song then, I´m more into midi work, orchestral stuff, so not so used to working on the audio files themselves. But was going to try to do it now. Is there somewhere I could look for tips on how it is best to do this. I have looked on site and found some info, but maybe there is something on youtube?

Just found this thread, hope you have made it in the soundtrack world, love your music, really well done.

Very good points Desire, unfortunately most people don´t have access to real orchestras :), for me it´s more that I really feel good when I make this type of music and it comes quite naturally to me. Most of these orchestral pieces I did in just a few hours each, so the time spent is not that great, but of course it´s better to concentrate on something that works in the real world. I somehow feel like I´m painting a picture when I make these, and often I do like the result, so something is gained I guess.

When fighting to get into selling the music though you need to fight the big boys, and then a solitary musician has a hard time against the studios, but some have made it and do wonderful stuff in my opinion.

Thank you all for these points, I really do appreciate it 🙂

If Garðabær was the only thing you saw then, yes, you should come back :),,, not exactly a scenic place, I live in the next town to it.

Thank you all for your comments, this helps me a lot. I find it better to hear it like it is rather than waste my time, libraries time, and maybe even my money if I go that rout on something that is not up to standard 🙂 Better to use the time and try to get better.

I use a few piano samples, Imperfect Fazioli is my most used, I also use 8dio Steinway on something and then one of the songs is a recording of a real piano.

Hi,,, thank you for this, I´m using a few libraries that are supposed to be quite good, Berlin strings, 8dio, Cinematic Strings, Spitfire audio. Been trying to get better in the cinematic aspect but obviously I need to work it better, maybe then particularly on mix/mastering level.

Thank you for you advice :), and yes, please let me know of a good place, although I´m sure this is a bit like looking for gold, you really should not tell if you find a vein 😛

[Stein_Thor]

Again I thank you, I will go carefully over all this in the morning. (Bedtime here in Iceland 🙂 )

BTW how does one approach upper tier libraries?

[Stein_Thor]

Thank you,,, this is probably the most helpful info I have had for a long time,, 🙂 I’m very grateful
