Submission Turn Around Times

[dmonsd]

Hey Guys,We've seen a few posts on here occasionally about the time it takes to get a response back on a submission. So, I thought I'd do a little preemptive post because we've had a pretty big influx of submissions over the last few weeks...It takes 2-4 weeks from the deadline date (not the date submitted) to hear back on a listing. It really just depends on the amount of submissions we get for pitch. Some can be turned around pretty fast, but others can get 500+ songs and they will probably take the full 4 weeks. We've been known to work weekends and nights to make sure we get them out before that 4 week mark ThanksClint

Hi Clint,So is it always like this? - say you have a listing that comes out in August with an October submission deadline, and you get hundreds of submissions during this timeframe - you let the submissions accumulate, but don't begin evaluating them until after the submission deadline? Or do you ever evaluate them as they come in?

We normally wait until the deadline date, but if there are a lot of submissions coming in we may start early. Either way when the songs get in 500+ range it takes us a while to listen to them all.We are adding some new screener stations in a few weeks so we should be able to schedule more screeners at once, so that should help on the large listings.C

Thanks for the info Clint. I can only imagine what an undertaking it is to screen so many submissions. I appreciate the care all of you take in making sure everyone's submission gets the best quality listen and critique.Thanks for everyone's hard work at Taxi!Christi
