I'm more than happy to give you a refund, as it looks like TAXI might not be a good fit for you and your music. I wanted to hear your music on Reverbnation, but it appears you've taken it off. I'll check it out later on your TAXI profile.
As for your signature at the bottom of your posts that incorrectly describes TAXI and insults our members (who've been more than patient, kind and helpful to you): demonstrating that level of anger and what some might call a lack of civility in a public forum isn't going to help your cause. I doubt that record labels, publishers, or the artists you'd like to have cut your songs some day would want to work with somebody who would act like that, IMHO.
BTW, the people on this page of our forum ( http://forums.taxi.com/taxi-success-stories-f7.html ) are not doing "jingles."
Call me at 818-222-2464 if you'd like to get a refund of your membership fee.
sincerely,
Michael
If you take the time to dig into the "success stories" part of this forum which you point to, you will notice that the majority of those are indeed jingles; true not all but a majority for certain. Those whom write them most certainly are not offended by making a little scratch from those compositions, quite the contrary they are happy which is why they've boasted about their successful placements. I say, good for them and congratulations - as long as you're happy doing what you enjoy that's a beautiful thing. So for you to get offended and accusatory toward me over that is just silly. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I. However I have not insulted anyone in particular in that signature; it's what is called a blanket statement. A quick search on the web will turn up plenty of reviews stating the same, using verbiage much closer to that which you're accusing me of sir. Lack of civility, seriously? Again, you are entitled to your opinion even if that opinion is accusatory and abusive.
As for my Reverbnation site, there are a couple of non standard basic recordings made last Summer using the built in Voice Memos app on the phone, so obviously you didn't actually take a look/listen. If you ever do, enjoy hearing one of my dogs walking across the floor in the background. The simple fact that you claim to have gone over there and then state there is nothing there is very telling. There are about a dozen or so basic recordings (voice memos) of songs in my ASCAP catalogue so if you have industry access you can find the rest there. Regardless I am sorry that you are offended by my posting my opinion, which turns out to be a pretty popular one across the web anyway. Just the same it was not directed toward you nor was the jingle statement directed toward anyone in particular. Anyway this is getting repetitive...
Yes, I will be calling you later this morning to take you up on your offer. Since I'm in Central time I'll wait for you to have your coffee. I'm glad that I hadn't thought to flag messages from this forum as junk as I had with the "listings" emails otherwise I'd never have seen this offer of a refund for "services" that as you stated, are not a fit.
By the way it's Sallier, singular - although I'm pretty sure you misspelled that on purpose.
Talk soon.
