Hey Taxi Forum, quick question on flexibility on cue length.
Writing track for POSITIVE, FEEL-GOOD HIP-HOP INSTRUMENTALS and/or INSTRUMENTAL CUES which provides range 1:30 - 2min for cues, however is there any recommended tip for cues, better it be right at 1:30 or so long as its 1:30 or a little over your good?
Thanks

If the listing calls for a RANGE between 1:30 and 2:00, then anything in there is good. Just don't go over the limit. If they are asking for exactly 1:30 or 2:00, then obviously give them what they asked for. If I'm not understanding the question, please let me know.

Thanks Casey, that was my impression so important to pay attention to the specs and if they give u around the time length your good.
Appreciate it,
Best

That's a good question. Two returns ago, I submitted to a cue that said, "Absolutely no less than 1:30." Mine was 1:40. Screener said it was too short - so now, I'm at a loss and extremely confused.

Can you post the ENTIRE listing (copy/paste not link) and the ENTIRE screener review? It's hard to say anything without all the information. That being said, there are some times when it's a good idea to contact the head screener at Taxi. He/she will look at the situation and talk to the screener. But I'd first get some feedback here.
Best,

Casey

Oh, I didn't want to bother Craig about it. What's another return out of two years straight of returns? Screener says: "I returned or forwarded this song because
Could be developed further, and the length needs to be longer." Brief says: "Your submissions should be around 3 minutes in length, give or take, and definitely no shorter than 2 minutes and 30 seconds."
Here's the cue that's 2:39
