Your welcome to contact them to check the reference if you’d like to make sure, but I worked with them in 2008, and they made the change to that name at some point between 2008-2013.
Also, if you google, Manifest Media, usually the first listing that comes up is SupaTunes, and that is because they still list Manifest Media in there Meta-data. 🙂
Hi Guys, This is obviously an old thread, but if you wanted to keep it open, the URL could just be changed to the new company name of SupaTunes.com
Truthfully I had a decent experience working with Manifest Media, I had 4 placements with MTV Networks due to our combined efforts. However, my catalog with them shortly after somehow fizzled out to being a top interest, or at least any interest. So, now I am wondering if it was a good deal. Being I have 2 disc of tracks that are with there catalog in a somewhat frozen state.
But here is the link to what was Manifest Media:
http://www.supatunes.com/Supatunes/HOME.html
PS. if there is anyone out there in music/tv land that would like to help me a little, I’d like to get back into this very quickly, and I am looking for a few really good sites/resources to work with. I have about 5-6 more discs (60-70 tracks) of similar music that placed with MTV Cribs, and I’d really love to get it into other solid opportunities out there.
Thanks!
-Mike
Thanks Michael, but I see nothing at Supatunes that relates to Manifest Media. Supatunes is listed here: https://musiclibraryreport.com/s-to-s/supatunes/
Re Contract term – In their contract (as shown on their site) it explicitly states that if you submit music and are successful, they get the non-exclusive rights assigned forever. This is irrespective of a placement
So just be aware that this will stop you signing the track exlusively to anyone else
Looks like this site needs to go to the R.I.P. folder……
Done, thanks for the update Robb.
On here it says contract length “3 Years” on the website its says “in perpetuity”?
Another user commented their contract was 3 years. Website probably means anything they place will stay in perpetuity, which is fairly normal.
Bluesman asked about this already in this thread but the question went unanswered:
I had a few tracks accepted by Manifest Media a couple of months ago. I ran a search at ascap.com database and noticed that Manifest has re-titled some of my tracks there. Does that mean that there’s been a placement or do they just register/re-title every song?
I had my tracks accepted to their library about two weeks ago trough FMN. Now I’ve signed the contract and sent WAV’s I can only wait and see what happens (will let know if I get any placements trough them).
Overall good communication – I had few questions and they were very helpful also asked me to provide more music.
Considering that was my first ever submission to any library…. It feels good 😉
