YES, It is absolutely worth your while if not essential IMHO.Royalty free does NOT mean that if a broadcaster has to pay a PRO that they don’t. Royalty free in this context means that the client purchases a license to use the music under the terms of the individual library. Usually a once off payment in perpetuity. There was a situation here where a track licensed from Pond5 was used on Americas Got Talent. That would have been entitled to PRO payments.
” so I stayed in and made a good 5 a day for a long time”
adam, are you saying you produced 5 tracks a day on a regular basis ?
Yes it is a leap of faith in any business relationship. Think of how much more difficult it was before the MLR !!!!! There is a general consensus about the strengths and weaknesses of a lot of libraries now, thankfully .
“Richardson says there are 179 songs on the cue sheet”
Crikey they use a lot of different music, blink and you would miss it. An hour long show is approx. 40 mins actual, which would mean a different cue every 20 secs, with wall to wall music. Doesn’t sound right does it ?
“woodsdenis – how did your contact decide on Chile? How long have they been there?”
True love brought him there, he has been there 4 years.
@Mark. Barcelona is a fantastic city, I love it.
UK Wet!!! Try living in Ireland LOL. I know someone who lives in Chile and loves it. Far away from us though.
First of all I dont think Audiosparx is unethical in any way. Personally I have found them very upfront in any dealings I have had with them and also I am quite successful with them.
Now
I dont think Music Cult is different from many libraries out there in offering gratis licenses, this is an evolving/evolved business model. It doesn’t make any sense for Music Cult to give gratis licenses with no expectation of backend either, they would make no money !! There is surely a big impetus for Music Cult to handle this correctly or otherwise they are shooting themselves in the foot and also severely jeopardizing AudioSparx sales ?
I do have AS handle the publishing for me so that part is not an issue, it may be for some though. I do think a possible idea WOULD be to allow composers to assign some of their catalogue as Exclusive and have only that portion of their AS tracks included in Music Cult. Personally I am leaning towards ticking the box,I cant see a huge downside for me. This is still a non-exclusive deal albeit with a 5 year term.
This is a business after all and everyone has to take a measured leap of faith sometimes.
The great thing about this site is talking about these things in the open and getting feedback not only from the library involved but also composers.

Not a recommendation, as I haven’t used it,but an alternative .

You have too many issues to be dealt with here, first of all your Yamaha PSR-195 does not have usb out, just a midi out so you would need a separate midi interface. I would go to your local music shop and explain in detail what you require. The info you get here will not help you in the short term.
TBH this is not the type of forum to ask this question, the answer is so vast these days and there are so many variables. If everybody here gave you a list of what they recommended and used, you would be more confused. Gearslutz is probably best for this type of thing as they have many different sub forums, covering a lot of bases.
Even stranger is this, which is a piano version of a Skrillex tune which I think is remarkable.
Original above.
Kind of goes with the idea of the same composition done in radically different ways, re exclusivity.
I will now set out to do dub step versions of my entire catalogue !!!!!!
Thanks Michael for your response. The important point is read the contract and if you don’t understand it, take it to someone who does.
