Deal, after much work

Post by davidagates » Sun Oct 20, 2024 9:44 am

So....

Some of you might know me from being active on here for a while. I didn’t keep up the momentum with the forum, as it’s hard to find the time, and (let this be a cautionary tale!) I was actually going to quit Taxi this year.

However, I decided to take one last spin on the wheel. Even though I had quite a few forwards, nothing came of them—until a couple of days ago!

I got a track forwarded for the Chiptune listing, and now that track is with a library. I’m also currently working on another, completely different track for them.

So, the moral of the story is, as always: tenacity, taking critiques on board, and getting better.

It might amount to nothing in the end, but for me at least, I’m incredibly proud.

Thank you, Taxi.

Well done David! I hope this is the start of a fruitful relationship with that library.
[But if they ask for more, please don't say 'it's hard to find the time' even if that is true, just say 'yes' - then find a way to do it :) ]

I too got contacted by the library, actually :)

I suppose I will have to upload my tune somewhere outside of Taxi, as even though I set it to public and grab the link as expected it turns out the track cannot be accessed regardless...
