A question from a newbie.

That's a smart move, apply then probably negotiate, or at least you can make some kind of connections. ( also it could be a bit expensive if you are sending too many tracks ), I noticed that just a few briefs let us know how much are they paying, most of them just talk about percentages. So we can not have the data to make a deep analysis, of our investment (TIME, MONEY) . About PEER TO PEER, that sounds great! A well-versed pair of fresh ears is something needed to progress. Thanks for all your information, and insights. Have a good one.
Cheers!

The overwhelming majority of music library deals pay the same; $0 upfront, everything else split 50/50 - sync fees and PRO earnings. There are some exceptions with upfront money, different splits, but not a lot. Direct to supervisor is different where the listing will estimate what the upfront sync fee might be (or a max). But those are by far the most competitive Film/TV opps and deals are therefore that much harder to land. If you are looking to get started in the music library world, assume things will be like the most common one above.

Alright. Some people recommend that direction, contacting/stalking music supervisors I think is very time-consuming, there are expensive courses on the internet claiming to have the formula for that. That strategy might work for some people. who knows. Everything's a mystery ... I'm just trying to solve this puzzle, all the information you gave me is very valuable. Thanks Casey!
