Dramedy duplicate?

[daveydad]

Just noticed this listing is pretty much an exact duplicate of a Dispatch listing from last week (below). Is it perhaps a different library? Hate to waste my $5.

URBAN DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed by a big Production Company’s NON-Exclusive, In-House Music Library for placements in a variety of Hit Reality TV Shows they produce. They’re looking for Mid-to-Up Tempo Instrumental Cues that you’d hear in TV shows like (but not limited to) Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, Braxton Family Values etc., etc., etc. Please listen to the following references to get a general idea of what they’re looking for:

LA Hair (0:02 – 0:20)
“Real Housewives Beverly Hills Theme Song”
Braxton Family Values (1:01 - 1:32)

Please send well-crafted Instrumental Cues that are built around a fresh Urban/Hip-Hop beat and would support a variety of scenes in an Urban-based Reality TV shows. Be sure your production is solid, contemporary sounding, and has a noticeable Urban vibe, feel, and style. Build your cues around a central melodic theme while adding and subtracting layers of instrumentation as they progress to add dynamics, interest, and forward movement. Avoid anything overly busy or frenetic, as it could interfere with dialogue.

Your submissions should be about 1:30 in length, give or take. If they’re a little on the long side, don’t sweat it! Non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings will work best. Do NOT copy the referenced material in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a general guide for tempo, tone, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (great sounding home recordings are fine).

This company offers a NON-EXCLUSIVE, 50/50 deal. You’ll split any applicable sync fees 50/50. You’ll get 100% of the Master rights and Writer’s share, and the Library will get 100% of the Publishing for any placements they generate. You must own or control your Master and Copyright to submit for this opportunity. Please submit one to three Instrumentals Cues online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis - No full critiques. Submissions must be received no later than 11:59PM (PDT), on Saturday, May 27th, 2017. TAXI #Y170527UH

D170513UD URBAN-Influenced DRAMEDY INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed pretty quickly by a successful Production Music Library with a very long list of placements for TAXI members.

I think they are different. But you could always call TAXI to find out.

- a big Production Company’s NON-Exclusive, In-House Music Library for placements in a variety of Hit Reality TV Shows they produce

-a successful Production Music Library with a very long list of placements for TAXI members - Exclusive

Found out these are two different libraries.

Hah - I had the same question, and am now seeing your answer.

Here's a question that came up because of this listing - curious how you proceed… if there similar listings like the ones you’re referring to, one is non-exclusive one is exclusive - do you submit the same material to both?

I’m mostly curious about what would happen if the non-exclusive library totally falls in love with my track (unlikely, but it could happen!) then a bit later, the exclusive library comes calling… I have my MO, but I’m wondering how you do it…
