Double forward!! After 4 rejected submissions

Post by Otis12062002 » Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:46 am

I got my first forward and it was a double! I know it doesn't mean much but my confidence is slowly getting better after 4 rejections.
I think it helped though that I was a reference track :lol:

It DOES mean something. At the minimum, it means your tracks pass the bar to be considered for Film/TV placement. Taxi listings' bar, even the lowest bar, is still pretty high. A the maximum, it could be a library deal and a placement one day. Congrats! :mrgreen:

Was one of your tracks the reference track? That's so cool! I know others who had that. I had it once a long time ago, I think it was in a direct library request email.

Good luck!
:D Casey

Yeah those were probably the best two forwards from that listing, great job!
Oh man, and the examples came directly from the library/company that's looking for this style.. that's awesome, hope you hear from them 👍

Compliment, man! Really enjoyable stuff. And much clearer structured than mine rejected two. With a really cool laid back feeling.
