Same cue to two Exclusive listings?

Post by LarsA » Fri Dec 31, 2021 8:17 am

Hi
I just submitted a cue for a listing and now I see another listing where the cue might match as well.
Both listings are exclusive. Is it ok to submit to both listings simultaneously. I mean it is not yet signed (which was a criteria mentioned in the listing).

Happy new year
Lars

Yep! Its been asked here many times and the answer is always to keep on submitting to listings until you hear back from the library with an offer that suits you. Until then, the track is yours to do with as you please [but only sign the track to one exclusive deal though! :)].

Why? Well your track might not be forwarded for either or both listings, and even if it is there's a chance that either or both libraries might not find your track a good fit, or they've already got all the material they want, or maybe the opportunity has gone.

Alternatively, if you're very lucky you might be offered a deal from both libraries, and in that case choose the one that you think is the best fit for you and for the track, and offer to make them some more like it. Also, let the other one know that your track has already been snapped up since you submitted, but you could make them some more tracks like it. That way you might just get two deals for several songs each. Good luck :).
