Notes: | Please send links (not attachments) to: info [at] royaltyfreekings.com Instrumental for now, have plans for SFX later this year. We specifically need guitar based music, across all genres. We are moving away from a non-exclusive model and are willing to pay for music upfront. This is in addition to the 50% share of sales and licenses composers will get, before any sales we put on the music. We're different from most royalty free libraries in that we hand pick each track. We want to make sure the catalog is full of only great music, which will be good for our composers and customers. Composer link: http://www.royaltyfreekings.com/composer-inquiry/ |
Seeding the music libraries.
Over the last few years I, probably like most, have gotten overwhelmed with uploading music to the various libraries as well as tagging and writing descriptions for each piece. Every library’s requirements and procedures are different which only adds to an already time consuming process.
Initially the tendency was to get as much music out in the marketplace, to as many libraries as possible. It did get a bit crazy though and the end result would be that many times it wouldn’t get done. I finally came up with a routine that makes it all much less frantic.
I now only work with 5 or 6 libraries so I assign each one to a day of the week and only upload one song, per week, to each library. That gives me plenty of time to focus on that one piece of music and give it my best effort as it pertains to each library’s requirements. A much more relaxed way to do it, at least for me. I feel I have a few more years left in me so I’m in no rush and it leaves me plenty of time to write and have a life!
How about you? What’s your routine?
