Needledrop licence vs the other thing
Posted: Tue Oct 06, 2009 8:14 am
Apologies for the vague headline.So far in my writing career I have mainly written library music for what I think is known asneedle drop libraries ie. clients pay for a limited licence as opposed to a lifetime licence which seems to be very popular in US.Iam running out of contacts though and was thinking of opening up my options by contacting libraries that give clients licence for liftime and at a cheaper rate. I have some concerns though as I don't like the 'cheaper rate' tag, don't like to sell myself too cheaply. Also quite a few of them are online libraries and wondered if TV editors would really want to go through 1000s of tracks on a website. I would have thought, chances of them finding my tracks would be slim.I may be living in last century but was wondering if any of you have some experience with this kind of thing?Any thoughts, feedback greatly appreaciated
