Submitting for composer listings
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.

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

Re: Submitting for composer listings
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.
Just my 2c

imagine if John Williams and Trent Reznor met at Bernard Hermann's for lunch and Brian Eno was the head chef!

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

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!

Re: Submitting for composer listings
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!

Re: Submitting for composer listings
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?
