YouTube video with my music goes viral!!!
One of the first orchestral pieces I ever composed (Aslan is on the Move) was just used in a dolphin/whale video filmed using a drone. It's about to hit 2 million views!! Wish I could get $1 for every view!! I guess in this case it's fame over fortune!

That's a great one Dave!
Congrats
Did they loop your piece or did you make it that long?
It fits very nicely with the footage

It's almost a 5 minute piece that fit their footage perfectly. They'd like to use my music in future endeavors, too.

HA! I already saw this video earlier this week before reading your post. Makes me wonder how often I hear Taxi members' music without realizing it.
Nice piece! Congrats!

Also, I hope you register to get royalties for digital if you haven't already.

I have it registered with BMI. What else would I have to do? I am also getting on iTunes via CD Baby.

You should make it very easy to buy the track, and link to CD Baby from the top in the text window on YouTube.daveydad wrote:I have it registered with BMI. What else would I have to do? I am also getting on iTunes via CD Baby.
Won't you make something from those commercials on You Tube, per view?

Congratulations! Great music and cool video.
Doesn't SoundExchange pay out the royalties for digital streaming like YouTube? http://www.soundexchange.com
The video has over 3 million hits now.

Re: YouTube video with my music goes viral!!!
Yeah, I'm not sure how the views thing works. I did sign it up with CD Baby's PRO feature hoping that would help and enabled syncing. I was hoping eventually their software would detect and put a link to to iTunes when it appears there. Since it's not my video I can't do anything with it but did make one of my own on my page and need to figure out how to put a hyperlink in it. So far I've had enough sales to pay for CD Baby's fee!
