ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTAL!!

Post by ibanez468 » Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:07 pm

Well, I'm 1/3 for the month of October! This one made it through. Whew!! Had a rough time during the month of September. Got 2 more pending. Hopefully I can go 3/3. Got all 8s for everything!! My first time getting accepted for the UK-based Production Music Library. Tough nut ta' CRACK!!ACTION/ADVENTURE/HIGH OCTANE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a UK-based Production Music Library for Film/TV placement opportunities. They need really high energy tracks (no vocals) for car chase scenes, sports highlights, high suspense action/thrill footage, etc. Current sounding styles would be the best choice here: Rock/Electronica/Hard Rock/etc. A blend of orchestral instrumentation with the mentioned stylistic approaches might also be a great direction to take. They'll be looking for tracks that don't sound overly synth generated - authentic, pulsing and exciting! Your track should be within 1:00-3:00 and they'll mostly want to hear mid to uptempo tracks.Get A GripI-468

Thanks fellas! Marc, check out these threads. I've explained in detail how I go about hookin' up a link to my tunes. Been workin' out fine for me.http://taxi.proboards27.com/index.cgi?a ... e=1I-468PS -- Marc, basically all you hafta' do is take the spaces out of your song titles. No spaces! I just tried it with your tunes, by eliminating the spaces. And after 2 or 3 tries, they began to stream. So that's all it is. When you upload your songs to the host, you can have spaces between words. But when you create a link, don't use any spaces. BTW -- Congrats on the forwards!! Xtreme is a knock out! Ya' hit that one but GOOD!

Thanks Mazz! Yeah, I didn't make it this year. My situation changed in a matter of just a few short months. It was lookin' good in August, and in 2 months time, things just changed. Well, I'll have plenty of time to try and get it all together for next year. Sorry I missed ya' man. I really was lookin' forward ta' makin' it out there. I see this is gonna take more effort than I imagined. I'll definitely try and be better prepared next go around.I-468

I totally understand!!Sometimes I forget what it takes to get to LA from the midwest or east coast (or Europe or Australia for that matter!!!) because since I live in SF, I could drive to the Rally if I had to.With the quality of your music getting so good, it's only a matter of time.Soon, I hope!!Mazz
