Mainstream Rock Instrumental Forward

Post by bigbluebarry » Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:58 am

Here's the listing:MAINSTREAM ROCK INSTRUMENTALS a la Hinder, Daughtry, Creed, Nickelback, etc., are being sought by a Production Company/Music Library (with clients such as the Discovery Channel and MTV and film credits such as American Gangster and Bourne Ultimatium) for inclusion on their roster to pitch for Film and TV song placements. Excellent arrangements, performances and recordings are a must. They offer a non-exclusive publishing deal with a 50/50 split on any upfront license fees as well as back-end performance royalties (meaning you will keep the writer share, the publishing share will go to the company). Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). We will be running a Modern/Alternative Rock version of this listing in the July 1st set of listings, but for right now, they want to hear only Mainstream Rock – this is their first time running an opportunity with us, so they want to see what we can get them right away – let’s impress them! Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received no later than 10:00am (PST) on Tuesday, June 30, 2009. TAXI #D090630INHere's the link:Let It Rip - http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=trueor on my profile page - http://www.taxi.com/bigbluebarryI wrote this one specifically for this listing so it's very satisfying to get the forward! And on the same day that I booked my Rally flight and hotel! Woo hoo!!- Big Blue

Casey... thanks and congrats to you as well!Dave... thanks!Jeff... thanks man, I really had fun tweaking the EQ on that intro Christoffer... thanks, and looking forward to meeting you at the Rally!Adrienne... thanks Ibanez... thanks buddy, appreciate you saying that. Free tip... take advantage of the sale that IK Multimedia is having right now and get T-Racks 3 Deluxe edition. If you can't get the whole thing, try and get the plug-in modeled after the Fairchild compressor. I just got it a couple of weeks ago. This is one of the first tracks I've used it on. It's amazing the difference it can make on a guitar track (and drums )tower888... thanks man, appreciate it!B!!!! Thanks buddy... I'm starting to get the hang of this mixing thing. I did a personal retrospective on some of my tracks that I've done since joining TAXI. It was quite painful for me to listen to some of my early stuff - Big Blue

scounter72... thanks man!Keith... thanks! The smaller amounts of compression on this track is due in part to 1) doing a better job on my mix and 2) using the T-Racks 3 Deluxe Edition to master it. I picked out a preset, gave it a little extra boost, and tried my best to stay out of it's way Regarding that deal... I had actually attended an IK Multimedia clinic a couple of months ago and they gave me an incredible deal on the entire Deluxe Edition... $238 including shipping! I couldn't pass that up and I'm so glad that I got it. Worth every penny!japaneseprincess... thank you, glad you enjoyed the track Mark.. thanks dude! We gotta make sure we meet up at the Rally! I'm coming in early - Big Blue
