Unfortunately I was not able to write all of the crappy music out. I am seeking to dominate that market very soon though!

Re: Insight from A Library Owner
So glad I use real instruments (i.e. no midi was harmed) for 90% of my tracks (it's a genre thing). Even then I've had comments from some submissions that I should get better MIDI sounds
I've mentioned many times, one rejection means nothing. Most of those tracks ended up being signed. I can't help it if I play with guys that are rhythm machines and have perfect pitch

To sum up his book: write an album of great music and send it to publishers. You will get a deal. Quite a bit of detail is left out on what exactly that means (great music). Other books have been more helpful in that regard.
I’ve heard the same advice in a few other places. Library owners saying of you have 8-12 tracks ready to go you will have takers. My issue is just finding the right library to pitch to, hence taxi. Also what genre for ME to focus on - also taxi.
Dan has a Facebook group, mostly entertainment. There are a few library owners there looking to license if your material is interesting.

That is exactly one of the main services of TAXI - making a first selection and provide only material that is not torturing the poor library guyKolstad wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 3:19 pmI like Dan Graham too, but writeups like that looks like the heat from an overworked publisher. The shi* they have to put up with, sure.
It is a responsibility to get things to sound good, yeah, but you know when you are doing music every day, you do some experiements in between, and you get used to like a lot of different things.
Sometimes that turns out bad, and sometimes it works. It's how we roll.
