Last hoorah for awhile--A/C Forward

heinsite · Post by **heinsite** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 5:44 am

before i chose not to re-up my membership this time, i submitted my "best" most "professionally" produced tunes.alll came back, but one--my When the Devil's In The Details got forward as an A/C listing, when it's clearly at best a crossover, but we NEVER throw them back. The critique was just what I would critique it as (basically a damn good song...) but this song has been forwarded once, and rejected at least 30 times. BUT I AM HAPPY!!! only problem is it went to a library, and since this was demo'd WAY back by a company with all union studio musicians and singers, when i checked with them a year ago, if the song is used AS IS (which libraries tend to do...) it will cost the buyer about 2500 bucks to use it--THIS IS THE LEARNING CURVE STUFF that i've been working on....but for this one a bit behind--however if it's re-recorded (as i intended orig) for a "star", i'm fine...we live and learn. now i've known this for awhile, which is why though this company (NOT jimi's) does a great job, i have not posted them to any of the libraries i'm in now. i am gunna email them again (it's a family organization in Nashville) and ask if they will work with me, but doubt it. soooo-for any of you that a bit naive on the business end, that's the real reason i'm posting this.make sure if you have work demo'd or contracted for, you know what you can and cannot do with it! most of you know this i'm sure, but we all learn at difference speeds! LOL.I'm still happy BTW...and i STILL believe this is a killer tune.it's on my website below first one you'll see...good luck to all.warren

Congrats on the forward WH! Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. $2,500 though.... WOW that seems steep! What Jimi quoted me was nothing near that, but could be because in her case the studio owners also play the drums, bass and keyboards so maybe only the singer and guitar player need to get extra compensation.Good luck with it!Cam
