Definition of Instrumental Cues?

Post by Tcounts » Sun Apr 20, 2025 8:45 am

Can someone tell me exactly what they mean by instrumental cues?

I read a dispatch looking for 2 min long southern rock ones.

Thanks!

Tim

And, to risk sounding like a typical YouTube douchebag..... "don't forget to like & subscribe!". But seriously, if you're new to this business, I'm sure you'll find some useful information on my channel.

I'd say that one of the best things anyone can do is learn where to look for the answers they need. No problem asking here in the forums, but remember that just about every question will already have been asked, so try the search function for a quick check. This one's a tough one because the word 'instrumental' features in almost every listing so its not easy to find what you need.

Then there's Taxi TV, which also has a search function, and where whole videos have been made on the most common questions. In this case we have.....

But for a concise roundup of just about all things sync Matt's got your back. If you work through all his 101 videos you'll already know more than most Taxi starters. So get ahead.... get a video :)
