Return for S240225UN - PIANO-Based UNDERSCORE INSTRUMENTAL CUES

It's a shame, too. I would have really liked for the library to have a chance to hear my track.

There is nothing stopping you trying the direct approach as well

Interesting. I honestly have no idea how to do that. Can you elaborate or point me to some resources for how to contact libraries directly? I have no existing relationship with them.

Thanks,
Lucas

In a nutshell. Write 8 - 12 simlarly themed tracks. Package them together into a private playlist of some sort ( ie. SoundCloud ) as an album

Come up with a name / theme for the album and if possible do a piece of artwork which you can put on Soundcloud apge to go with it ( very easy now with AI album cover generators )

Google production music libraries and curate a list of the ones you think you might like to work with. Check their submission guidelines on their website, there will be an email address and instructions. Craft your email and tailor it for each company you submit to. Send the email / album link. Wait a couple of weeks. Follow it up. If nothing happens after another couple of weeks move on to the next library on your wish list.

If the music is licensable you will have someone contact you - might take 5 - 6 attempts ..you might get some no thank you's..you might get ghosted and ignored...rinse and repeat but if the music is useful to someone eventually one will bite.

Mark sure you have all your ducks in a row for when they do. PRO membership info etc. Be prepared to make edits, make deliverables and sign a contract. Hope that helps.

Do this alongside your Taxi submissions as it will accellerate your career. Eventually if successful you may get to the stage where Taxi is no longer required but many keep their memberships as new library partners are always welcome and of course side benefits like the RR , the forums etc. all help.

This is awesome. Thank you! I've googled production music libraries but had no idea how to proceed with them. Getting a step by step list from someone who has done this is invaluable.

Thanks again,
Lucas
