Dispatch is the Shiz!

Quote:Quote:I've been debating going the dispatch route. So it's a good idea?Hey Coach,First, congrats on the forward. Steve (sgs4u) made some excellent points, well... not just some - all were excellent and he covered things I like about it but didn't even realize. It's definitely worth it and the more flexible you are in terms of doing different styles the better. I only do instrumentals that fall into the categories of orchestral, electronica, and maybe new age and still there are at least several good listings each month. It's great to get emails out of the blue with opportunities only days away. I myself would never be without Dispatch. Too many good opportunities to pass up for $150 or less prorated or whatever it is.Buy fewer lattes and cappuccinos at Starbucks and the Dispatch membership is paid for.

Actually it takes three days for mail, four at the most. If I mail that day or the day after receiving a Dispatch it's no problem. I try to submit existing tracks for Dispatch. Worst case scenerio would probably be "priority mail" or two day guarantee. So far it's just been $0.89. Plus I only do a few here and there. Of the last 16 that have shown up lately, only two were listings I felt I could get really get some mileage out of.I would join Broadjam again if it becomes a problem but so far it's not really been an issue. Besides, "you-know-who" was an $0.89 snail-mail Dispatch submission.

Conicidentally, I joined Dispatch yesterday! I had been planning to do it when my day gig shift changed but it ended up a listing came through that was perfect for already existing stuff so I took the plunge a week earlier than planned. Dave must have given up Starbucks after the rally because it seems like we had a cup or two together in the morning at the joint downstairs Mazzle

OK, I admit I may have "exaggurated" about not going to Starbucks anymore.

Quote:Dispatch is interesting. It has pluses since you get more listings and you get faster feedback on your work. The downside is you have no idea why you didn't make the cut. I decided to join dispatch but I am wondering if I should have gone several months to a year with the normal listings to get a feel for proper placement and knowing where the bar is.Any other good or bad experiences with dispatch?Not getting critiques is the biggest downside to dispatch. And also coming up with something quick cause the deadline looms and you don't have anything ready but you've got a great idea.
