Question about hearing back

[ronnie35]

HI this question goes out to anyone who already has their material in a library. Say you signed either as a non ex or ex how long does it take to hear back from the library ?after they ask for your songs. Do you ? Or is it a matter of patience.

You mean you've signed with them and sent them the tracks they want and you're waiting tio hear back? What are you expecting to hear from them? The only time I hear from my publishers is if I get a placement with upfront money (sync fee) or if they are looking for a particular style of track for a specific opp. Not sure if that answers your question but hopefully it helps.

I have only worked with a few libraries but all have been fairly lengthy back and forth conversations. With the last deal, it was about 4 months from when the library first contacted me with interest in a forward to the songs appearing in their online catalogue. I responded to their emails immediately and would typically get a response a week later. If it got two weeks out I would usually send a short "is there anything else you need from me" email to make sure I didn't get lost. These things take time.

I've only dealt with two libraries so far... One is really "iffy" on correspondence. They asked for my song and I sent it on CD along with signed contracts they sent me (and I had to "suppose" they wanted it on CD because they never specified) and got a signed contract back. But as far as the status of things there... it's kind of a black hole.

The other is FANTASTIC at communications. I send them cues very regularly, and I hear back from my contact usually within a couple of days. Yeah... I keep writing for THEM!
