The point of a forward...
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2024 2:10 am
Hello!
I have a subscription with TAXI since the beginning of September. I have presented 6 tracks for 6 briefings, of which I have obtained a forward in 3 of them (4 if it had not been because in one, I was left without a power amplifier and speakers and I had to finish it with headphones...Ouccchhh) but, I am very satisfied!
My question could be... If a client receives from TAXI, on our part as composers, 3,4 or 7 forwards, it's possible that none of those tracks will suit the project and therefore, none will be chosen in the end?...
and of course, they are not obliged! So... if my music has passed the TAXI test but the client doesn't choose my work, should I wait until one day, the client needs music of that style again to hopefully choose it this time?
Could it be that, that track is lost in a kind of limbo forever, and I have "lost" everything except the satisfaction of having obtained the forward?
Should I think then that if no type of agreement or contract has ever been reached, perhaps it is better to try to sell it elsewhere?
We cannot be forever working against the clock on many occasions to obtain the forward that has cost us so much work and in the end not have any certainty.
When they ask for a ton of tracks of a certain style, it is assumed that it is because they are going to need many (not just one) tracks to use in projects... right? So if TAXI sends 7 or 15 forwards, and again, they decide that none of them are good for them...?
I hope I have explained myself well...I think it is a very good service, but I don't know if, from a certain moment onwards, the ones who lose the most are the composers.
Thank you for reading me.
Best,
Xavier Duch
