I have a few songs signed with a library and the library is asking me if I have any "Scene Starters" and/or "Tasking" tracks. Can someone tell me what they mean by those terms? Is it basically "Cues"? Thanks for your input!

Never come across those terms before, hopefully someone who has can chime in...did they give you any reference tracks ?

ML has mentioned 'task[ing] music' a few times, a basic underscore that ticks along (sometimes literally) while the actors are doing the task at hand - the specific example is crime lab scenes, where we watch the fingerprint ID happen on the lab's computer or whatever. That's my best guess.

If I had to guess at "scene starters" (and I don't but I will anyway) I'd say something like a stinger that can be used by itself to mark the transition into a new scene. My foggy memory imagines ML talking about a kind of aural thumbprint to set the stage - specific example, a short swampy reso guitar slide in a show about hunting alligators.

edit: CD has better advice than me; you may need to tease the answer from the library without making yourself vulnerable.

Thanks guys!
