One on one sessions track count question

Post by WeWillWriteUaSong » Mon Oct 17, 2016 8:18 am

Hey everyone! I have a question for past rallyers. Specifically for the one on one sessions...how many songs should be on the cd? Should it be your best 3? Best 5? As many as you can fit? What is most appropriate?

I'd draw the line at 10. The main thing is as you said, your very best tracks, particularly your best tracks that represent any styles/genre you excel at.

From what I've heard, I think you're going to do very well!

Owen.

Hey Marcus!
What I did at the last Rally...
Brought a CD with 10 or so tunes
Handed my "One on One" a sheet with the track numbers/names/genres/moods and let him pick what he wanted to listen to.
I figured if he happened to be looking for something specific it would be easier to "Get Right To It"
My mentor was quite pleased with the track sheet...
See ya there!

That's a great idea, thanks! I put together a CD of some of my most forwarded unsigned songs in about 4 different genres. So the track sheet will be a great addition!
