//// Is anyone here successful at making money from music?

Yeah, individual compositions, not counting alternate mixes and/or edits as separate "tracks".

I think $125/year/song is a pretty good ballpark average. Taking into account better and lesser performing libraries and better and lesser performing styles.
Of course if you're lucky enough to write one of the hottest styles for one of the hottest libraries, you could do way better.
Conversely you can also do way worse...

Thanks for the info. Now back to work, I gotta lot of catching up to do...

Hi Matto,
Quick question. By "active" tracks, does that mean tracks that are just in libraries, or does it mean tracks that have actually been placed somewhere?
