Ok, Ok, I know there isn’t such a thing as the perfect cue or catalog but Mark at Partners In Rhyme had a great idea for a topic and that was the best title I could come up with.
In “The Perfect Music Library” topic Mark said: “Along with your suggestion list for library owners maybe start a discussion of how composers can best build their catalog and submit their music, what genres are popular, what types of edits and packages sell well, how to title and describe your music, etc.”
I would add to that.
1.) Do Mp3s sell better than wav or aiff? Anthony at Music Candy mentioned that Mp3s sell very well, even for broadcast.
2.) As for edits and lengths: 120, 60, 30, 15, DnB, loops, stings and/or buttons? What’s the best combination?
3.) Structure: Rhythmic intro (some editors cut picture to music) how many sections? Sections in the clear to make it easier to cut? Rhythmic sting ending? Some generalities I know and a very broad brush but something to start the conversation going.
