My First Forward

Post by kennyfeinberg » Mon May 23, 2022 8:40 pm

I got my first forward on SOUND DESIGN-Driven, SCI-FI-Style INSTRUMENTAL CUES. What happens now? Who can I look to hear from Taxi or the Library? https://www.taxi.com/members/QJnrgJlKT2 ... -uninvited

Congrats on the forward! What to expect now is to work on your next listing. :) Taxi has served its purpose for you forward, they sent your music to their client. If that client wants to add it to their catalog they will contact you directly (not Taxi). Do not check your email every day waiting for a response, sometimes libraries reach out within a week, sometimes it takes a month, and in some cases it has taken years. Most of the time, 90% or more at least, you will not hear back at all. The good news is that your music met Taxi's standards, which means you can do this. Hence the time tested Taxi mantra, "Write, submit, FORGET, repeat." :)

Thanks Paulie, Does Taxi forward my contact info? They have my email but I don't think they have my phone number So then i can not look at my email for the slight possibility of hearing from the Library. Your post in very funny and on the mark. 10% of takers isn't really bad. Even though I'm new to taxi I'm already working on my next listing too. Write, submit, FORGET, repeat I'm on it. What's your genres? I'm mostly Guitar and programming.

Taxi always sends your contact info, no worries. 99.9% of the time if the library contacts you, it will be by email. Make sure the email address Taxi has for you is one you check regularly. Congrats and good luck! :D

Hey, huge congrats! The first one always means a lot! Your link doesn’t work. The most important advice has been given already. DON’T forget to check your SPAM folder!!!!! My bigest deal laid in the spam for a couple of days :? :?

Congratulations!!

And, what they all said! I've had several forwards now and haven't heard back from any libraries...YET. I just keep on working on improving so I can get more forwards!

Best wishes, and I hope you get signed!
