Submitting for composer listings

Post by mfowler » Tue Dec 29, 2009 1:55 pm

Any opinions on submitting 3 songs at once for a composer listing or breaking them up into 3 submissions (I know that there is no guarantee that you will get 3 different screeners with the latter)?
I'm thinking that if I want to show some diversity, it may be better to put all 3 in one submission, but if the songs are somewhat similar in style, maybe split them up into 3 submissions.

If you are submitting to the listings that are currently out, for composers, then I think the minimum is 2 tracks.

Marlin,

IMO, you'd get the most bang for your buck by submitting in groups of 3 multiple times, if you truly want to cover a lot of ground and maybe even get different screeners, although there's no guarantee on that.

For your 15 bucks you could submit 9 instead of 3.

Hey Mazz,

You got me confused here :? Are you saying, to get the most bang from your buck for these composer listings, is that you can submit 3 triple-song montages, and each of those can count as one submission? How do you get to submit 9 pieces for $15 bucks exactly? Dang, in this economy, any helpful savings tips would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks Vikki and Mazz..
Mazz.. It's 5.00 per song.. so I'm not sure how I can submit 9 for 15.00 unless you mean I submit 3 songs with each being a collage of 3 songs..
Can you clarify?
thanks!

DOH!!

Too much reviewing of documentation at my day gig turns my brain to mush.

Yes, 5.00 per song is correct, what was I thinking?

I was thinking that one can submit more than 3 songs to a listing by submitting in groups of 3. But it's still 5 bucks a song.

Sorry for the confusion. I hope no one got their hopes up!!

DOH!!

No problem, Mazz. It sounded too good to be true...unless there was a secret that you'll have to share at the next TAXI Road Rally 2010!

But Mazz, can you submit a montage for a composer listing anyway? Or would you only do that if the listing specifically asks for it.
I'm sorting my subs for the "jingle/theme" listing and jingles can be short - which brings me to another question... how long should a jingle be...
I'm thinking maybe 15 seconds, 30 seconds...
A theme? maybe a minute?
