Forward question from newer member on #U130228IN

[johntwistmusic]

I'm pretty new and have a question. I had my first forward with the solo acoustic piano/guitar: U130228IN.

244 of us were "forwards". Congratulations everyone!

On my submissions page under the status column is a "certificate" link. On my certificate it says forwarded to "music supervisor" not "music library". Can someone tell me if "music supervisor" is simply the standard language used on the certificate when you get a forward? Or did I actually make it onto the cd that taxi gave to the music supervisor at their lunch meeting? Because this is my first forward I was uncertain. I'm very happy to be among the 244 forwards and have to pinch myself to believe that I might have made it to the music super. I appreciate the clarification that more experienced members can provide.

I truly appreciate the help.

John


SOLO GUITAR and SOLO PIANO INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS are U-R-G-E-N-T-L-Y needed for a Compilation CD TAXI will be personally handing to a VERY BUSY MUSIC SUPERVISOR at our upcoming meeting with him. The Supervisor uses TONS of Instrumental Tracks that you’d often hear on some really big REALITY SHOWS. For this Compilation we’d like to feature SLOW, SOLO INSTRUMENTAL TRACKS, done on Gut or Nylon-String Acoustic Guitars, or Acoustic Piano. We’ll need tracks that are at LEAST 2 minutes long, and have buttoned endings – NO fades, please! Please submit tracks that sound emotionally ROMANTIC, INTROSEPCTIVE, or HOPEFUL. TAXI TIP: Do NOT try to show what a musical virtuoso you are, so much as creating melodies that create a mood and support an EMOTION! Keep it simple!!! Could your track be used in a scene where somebody is falling in love? Send it in! Could it support a close up shot of somebody who appears to be having an introspective moment? Send it in! Could it be used in a scene where somebody just solved his or her big problem of the day, and hope is on the horizon? Yeppers… send it in, because that’s what we need to show this Supervisor our members can do incredibly well! BUTTONED ENDINGS PREFERRED. Instrumental presentation must be top-notch, and your guitars and pianos should sound REAL! Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent sounding home recordings are fine). You must own 100% of your master and composition, and your submissions can NOT be in any other catalog or library. If the Supervisor hears anything on our compilation that he’d like to license, he’s only going to want to use material that will be easy to clear. Please submit one to three Instrumentals online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS – NO FULL CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than THURSDAY, February 28th, 2013, at 5:30pm (PST). TAXI #U130228IN

I apologize for the duplicate posts! I really am new to both the forums and to using my ipad. My bad!!!

Sounds like you'll be on the compilation that the supe will hear, nice!

Thanks for the reply, eo. Did you happen to get a forward for this listing? Have your forwards been specifically clear on the certificate?

If I did make it to the sup I want to get a full critique so that I'm sure I understand what I did right rather than just assuming I know. I'm new with taxi and know I've got a lot to learn.

Obviously this one is yes/no, no critique. So you would need to get a custom critique which costs (I think) $20. Never done it but I hear it's well worth it if you have specific questions. Also you can post it in peer to peer here on the forum and ask your colleagues for their thoughts, another great (and free) way to get answers.

Thanks Ethan,

Good suggestions. It was the custom critique I was thinking about.

I checked out your sound cloud catalogue. Nice work, I appreciate the diversity and obvious love of song craft I heard.
