submitting to libraries

[ronnie35]

Hi, I joined Music Library report and I have been researching the different libraries. Question forwards I HAVE received from Taxi were sent to the such n' such library I only know of 2cues that are being used so I won't touch those cues. but, the other cues in the forwarded libraries have been sitting there for quite a long time. Can I submit those cues to another library? exclusive or non- exclusive.

Thanks, Ron

Absolutely, keep submitting. I sometimes wait a bit (a few weeks) after getting a forward but that's not a requirement and I don't always do it.

Offers / deals are highly unpredictable. I've received a few offers even before getting Taxi notification of the forward. But I've also received offers up to 2 years after the forward ... so you just never know.

Most forwards don't turn into deals, so it doesn't make much sense to keep waiting for a response.

One thing, before submitting music directly to any library, make sure the music is really competitive. Otherwise libraries will get turned off to receiving the music directly. If you're getting good feedback / forwards from Taxi then that's a good indicator.

Thank you all, So what I am understanding is , if I didn't sign a contract, even though they were forwarded to the library I can still submit those cues to different libraries. Exclusive or non-exclusive

As long as the rights to your intellectual property are owned by you, until you have signed the distribution commitments, you are free to do whatever you want. Therefore, I always read every contract to the letter, because sometimes unscrupulous partners can slip a pig.
