Well it looks like that dataset payment that we got from Pond5 was just a one time deal. No payments this month so I guess that was that.
Why do you think you will have better luck than the writers have already tried?
And I don’t think the libraries will want you to take a cut from their publishing.One of my pieces got on a few of Fox’s Business shows. i got a little sync money from Midiio but I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath for PRO money.
I have been using CATAPULT for many years. Only paid once and they send out royalties every month with no minimum.
Perry Music Library.
I have been using catapultdistribution.com/ for many years. I think they are the best. Take a look at their offers.
I bought a used-2012- Mac Mini on EBay. The guy customized it with a hybrid internal 2T drive with a SSD 128gig for system. 16gig memory but only a double core. A quad would be much better. Hooked up HDMI to 40’ monitor. I use Digital Performer but it shouldn’t be that much different for Logic.
I got the same response today as well. Have you ever made a sale on this site? When I check my submissions, almost half have never been listened too. I have spent hundreds of dollars on submissions that were never listened . I wrote to them about this and they gave a lot of excuses but said that they have no control over this.
I wonder if this is Fervor / Mighty Music you are talking about. I sold them rights for $500 to one of my songs. They placed it in the TV show Mad Men and also listed it in some libraries. They keep all sync rights and own the copyright as well. The only money I get is BMI writers and it aiin’t much. I regret the deal.
I used Broadjam for many years. Spent a lot of money on submissions and was selected many times. NOTHING ever came from that. And I hate the fact that you never knew who you were sending the music to. Some companies like PMG use Broadjam and Music Xray as their main income producer! Check out my review of PMG in the library listings.
What I don’t understand that, if music supervisors are looking for specific tunes and people like Diamond and others want to get music to these guys, there are lots of outlets for them to explore on their own to get music to the people looking for them. That’s their job, isn’t it? So why do they charge money for people to send them possible selections? Hmm, to make money of course for themselves!!!
And don’t forget what Capitol records did with their “Duophonic” system.
Roll off the high end on the left speaker and the low end on the right!I have a bunch of music on Spotify, Rhapsody, etc. If a song gets 800 plays I usually get $.003. Not enough even to bother with.
I do not use CD Baby but have been using CATAPULT. I like them, they pay every month and there are no yearly fees.I kinda think they mean sampled from an existing recording from someone else. Otherwise, RF samples are not to worry about.
Howdy,
I am a newbe to this site and never realized that there were so many music libraries out there! And now I see this discussion of Pay to Play.
I have been a member to B and have been paying a yearly fee as well as a fee to pay to send music to un-named libraries. Never liked this idea but thought that was the norm. Same with X. Being a music supervisor for over 30 years and having maintained 70 libraries in my studio, I was the one paying and buying music for my clients. Now, with these guys, people are paying THEM to get there music heard and maybe selected. After all these years, this pay thing stinks. Thanks for opening my eyes to other alternatives.
