How Do You Tally Output?

Post by GaryShaffer » Fri Jun 20, 2025 7:18 am

I was reviewing some Road Rally notes and noticed lots of discussion about the number of songs we create. I found it all quite motivating, but it left me curious.

Let's say you write an instrumental cue, and then create a 60- and 30-second version. For your own records, do you count that as one song or three? I know it doesn't really matter but I was just curious.

No just one...I don't anyone personally who would count it as more than one.

So I do 80-100 cues per year normally, but if I included all the different versions and stems I have to deliver to the library it would be more like 800 - 1,000 audio files
