Non-exclusive (except with other libraries)

Post by babyblues » Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:49 am

I may submit for this but I'm confused about the "non-exclusive (except with other libraries)" statement. Does this mean the producer won't accept songs that are already signed to another library? Thank you,BBSERIOUS INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSERS are needed by a Music Producer who is creating a new independent music library and already has several TAXI composers under his roof. He is looking for composers IN ALL GENRES and said no stone will be left unturned in that respect. Although he is the provider of music for a huge daytime television talk show, he wants to make it clear that the composers he is looking to sign to the library will focus on other projects he is working on and will not compete with the composers working on the talk show. You must be able to work as a team player, take direction and deliver on time. He needs someone who uses high quality samples and has state-of-the-art equipment. He's definitely looking for a "pro" and not someone who works during the day, as he'll need you to be available for quick turnaround assignments and same day edits when necessary. He'd like someone with experience with syncing to tape. His deal offer is non-exclusive (except with other libraries) and you keep 100% of the writer's share. All submissions need to be Broadcast Quality. Please submit two to three instrumentals online or per CD, include Bio. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Monday, August 17, 2009. TAXI # Y090817IN

TAXI # Y090817IN hey BabyBlues,Yes, the clause you're referring to means that this particular company wouldn't accept any of your tracks into his library if they are already signed to another music library. However, that doesn't mean that you couldn't submit tracks for this listing that you've signed elsewhere. If they were forwarded to the client and he's interested in working with you, then you can let him know that those tracks have since been signed with another library but you can provide him with other material that is along the same lines.- Big Blue
