When submitting to a listing, which version?
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2023 12:22 pm
So when you have a song that you want to submit to a listing but you also know that sometimes less is more......
Do you ever submit multiple versions of the same song, each different in one way or the other, to the same listing?
In the past, I've had publishers and libraries ask for, lets say.... the full version , an edited version and a rhythm only version. Not to mention cut down versions, stingers, and instro version.
For a film listing, lets say you have a vocal song, and the lead guitar track, which includes intro, fills, solo, and outro, can sound a little "overwhelming"....
Would you consider submitting a full version with all the lead stuff or, would you submit an edited version of lead only on the intro, solo, and outro?
OR... would you submit BOTH to the TAXI listing for the request?
Also in the mix but not included in the above discussion would be a rhythm version with NO leads at all. I know the library/publisher is going to want that regardless.... but for the purposes being discussed here... how would you submit?
Thanks
