So i got some forwards... Now what?

Post by mcatalao » Fri Aug 26, 2011 5:04 pm

I started with taxi just 1,5month ago.

i submitted 3 songs for this listing and they all got forwarded.
Now i wonder... How much time do the labels take to respond and do they ever?

Anyway, if the label doesn't want to use it, can i submit the songs again to other listings? And how much time should i wait?

Thank you very much.

Miguel,
Congrats on your forwards. I am also new to Taxi, but I have seen many people use the phrase "Submit and forget" You may be contacted soon, or in a year or more from now, or never. Yes you can submit the songs again for other listings. I would recommend you do, since there is no point in waiting for a contact when it may not happen. I got some forwards in Feb. and have heard nothing. I also got a contact about a submission less than a month after. So there is no set rule.
Hope this helps.
Bruce

Not quite time yet to pre-order that new Maserati. ;)

Congratulations on the forwards. Like a car salesperson showing vehicles to prospective buyers, you can/should keep showing until you get a buyer that says "I'll take it". Until then... submit way... new music, same music, whatever it takes. Smart submitting... quality over quantity. 8-)

In the general scheme of things it takes quite a few submissions and forwards to get film/tv deals and any deal with a label is a huge ultra-high-bar situation. Good luck!
