Signed album: 4 months from forward to final delivery of tracks

[VanderBoegh]

Back on February 29 (Leap Day!) I got a couple tracks forwarded for a "hip hop with horn blasts" listing. Here's my forum post from that day.

On March 20, I received an email from the listing company saying they'd like to sign those two tracks, and would like me to supply a 10 track album.

During the month of April, I finished all 10 tracks and sent them in for review.

On May 22, the company said they'd reviewed all the tracks and would like to sign all 10 pieces.

I just delivered the final files & stems this morning, June 28.

So, from forward to completed signed project, over a span of 4 months. Not exceptionally fast, but definitely not slow either. Granted, I could have been quicker on file delivery, but I had a lot going on between May 22 and today (not the least of all: I got married!!!!). But still, this ought to give some newbies another real-world example of the time frame it took for something to go "all the way" when a company reaches out after a forward.

I know that company well (I too have stuff with them and actually I got that brief driectly ), my experience with them is that they are usually quite fast, so if you did not have to focus on getting married (congrats again!), it would have taken at least a month less for your album to be released

And I NEVER get tired of listening to the great trumpet tracks you contributed to some Funsongs Music projects;
one in particular which remains very special to our family. I'm forever grateful.
God bless you & yours today.
Peter - by the sea!
