How many songs did you sign with them?

What do you mean by "nothing has happened yet"?

I'm not sure if I totally understand your question... so you signed some tracks to a library at the RR and delivered the tracks to them as specified? Then you keep working on other tracks and making submissions to other libraries etc so to build your signed catalogue of tracks over time. Eventually, if one or more of the signed tracks gets placed, about nine months after the placement, you should see it listed on your PRO catalogue and begin to receive royalties for it. Things move slowly in this business so best to be looking ahead and working on the future while waiting for the 'past' to catch up.

In terms of royalties this month (Aug 2015) I receive royalties for broadcasts of my placed tracks that occurred between Oct and Dec 2014.

First, I have sent at least 30 tracks when I met with the. supervisor at the road rally during the one to one he liked the compositions but wanted to change the names. I received an e mail from the library. I believe around. March. Stating to not send anymore songs they were going through some changes in the company. Which I did . Are my songs just sitting there?
Ron , thanks

Did you sign a contract with a schedule A attached listing your tracks? Assuming it's a decent library, they are now pitching your tracks. It could take anywhere from a few months to a few years for one track to get placed, if at all. Have you checked to see if the tracks are registered on BMI or ASCAP?

Yes. It is a non exclusive deal. They have my. I P fromAscap. Should I sit tight? Also I am signed up for the 2015. RR if this supervisor is there which there is. A. 99% chance. Would it be wise to mentor with him again or at least talk with him?

thanks,Ron

You could e-mail and politely inquire about the status of your tracks, just to make sure everything is in order. But don't expect to ever hear anything from them, you'll likely not even know about any placements until they show up on your royalty statement at a minimum 9 months after the actual placement.
