I got my first forward.

Post by jesseh » Sat Sep 11, 2021 1:06 pm

I have been lurking on Taxi for a few years while studying Composition for Film and TV with Berklee Online. I took the summer off and decided to use to the time as an "internship" - actually doing what I plan to do once I am done with my studies next June. This is actually my second piece of music that I have submitted - I did another piece more along the lines of indie rock and submitted to 2 different requests but was returned on both. So this is my third request submission and I am so happy to get this forward - it tells me I can do this! I did submit a second piece to this request but it was returned - the good news is that it was returned for the same reasons I had concerns about but submitted anyway because I ran out of time - also good news, I now have more confidence in my own judgement. This was for listing S210720BR, asking for light, bright pizzicato strings and is titled "Hop, Skip, and Smile".

I'm not sure how to post a link to music in my taxi account so that it can be played by others. Any help is appreciated.

Congrats on your first forward !

I usually find it easier to use Soundcloud to share stuff but I am sure someone around here can explain how to link from your Taxi page.

Hope this might work - the new format requires putting the word members between the TAXI URL, and then add your moniker & tag or link
Take a look at others for examples of ones that work. The one I tried to assemble won't work - as it has to come from you and your account. But, it starts there.

Congrats on the forwarded track.

Congrats on the forward! :)
The easiest way I've found to share a link to your TAXI page is to log into your account, then from your profile page, look on the right-hand side for something that says View Public Profile. That will automatically take you to the correct page, with the correct URL for sharing in the address box! Just a note: only the things you've marked for public viewing will be listed, so if you have anything marked private, people won't be able to see that.

Here's a link to mine just to show you that it works!

Happy Composing & Best Wishes!

Thank you to all. Merryband1's suggestion worked. Thank you! Funsong's suggestion was similar but for some reason my username doesn't work, although copying the url of my public profile that contains a bunch of additional stuff in it seems to work.

I am hesitant to put my stuff on Soundcloud just yet as I have heard there can be possible rights/publishing conflicts if not done correctly and I don't know enough about it yet. I just don't want to shoot myself in the foot. It's on my list of things to learn about... it's a long list ;-)

Thanks again to all!

The important thing - you got it working; and the track sounds great.
Next move: maybe you can figure out how that link needs to be formatted so that you can add it to your signature...
if you want to steer others to your member page.
Looks like it's just using the same one; should make it easy.
Cheers.

Glad it worked for you!

With Soundcloud, if it's something for a listing that isn't in the public domain, I usually make the track private (there's a box to check when you're uploading), and then the link to the track will be different... Funsongs put me onto that when it came to sharing the tracks here, which I appreciate! It has an S or something in the URL, for Share, I guess. I don't think it affects exclusive listings, but if there's something in the contract about exclusivity, you could always take the track back down. At least, that's what I'm planning to do when any of my tracks get signed. :)
Cheers!
Merry
