Video for new members: How To Read Taxi Listings
I'm revved up from the Rally, ready to create some content. I've got a list of ideas, and then a new listing came out today (Emotional Piano) that I thought would be an excellent example for a Taxi tutorial. In this video I read through the listing, then listen to the references while sharing what I hear along the way, while offering some practical and realistic advice. No fancy editing or effects, just me pressing record and sharing my thoughts. I hope someone finds it useful.

Re: Video for new members: How To Read Taxi Listings
I have several pianos and all of them can sound great. I used to use the Native Instruments pianos, which one I used depended on the sound i was looking for. I used the Grandeur quite a bit early on, sometimes the Giant. A successful Taxi member has had plenty of placements using the Steinway Grand Piano that comes with the Sampler instrument within Kontakt. A couple of years ago I switched over to Noire, and I also added Keyscape. I find myself using Noire most often these days.

Re: Video for new members: How To Read Taxi Listings
Paul, i would like to thank you for putting up all the cool videos. I have been watching them and learning quite a bit. Question I myself have been with Taxi for quite a long time I have some forwards and only 3 placements with two Libraries. Along the way life hit me lost both parents ,lost my job ,i am back teaching again .Your videos are so motivating thank you. I believe my strengths are in dramedy i also have some luck in tension. Question when building up ones portfolio should I just continue writing my cues I think I was trying to write by what i saw on the taxi listings.Also, is it okay if I tweek your letter and use it too contact libraries?
Kind regards, Ron ronnie 35

Thanks for posting this Paul. Interesting to see you analyze the commonalities of the four references. Very informative.
