A successful first year on TAXI

Post by hubert » Tue May 06, 2025 12:03 pm

Hey everyone,

I've been a TAXI member for about a year and a half, but posted my first submission just over a year ago. So it's time to look back at my first year with TAXI.

I came to TAXI not knowing anything about the sync industry. Literally nothing, to the point where I didn't even know there was such a thing! All my sync education is thanks to TAXI.

Here's what my first year is looking like:
  • 83 submissions
  • 45 forwards (54%)
  • 4 library contracts
  • 33 tracks signed with these libraries
  • No placements yet (that I know of)
Not bad for a first year! So for anyone who thinks TAXI doesn't work, well, what can I say, it does :-)

A lot of the credit for this goes to the TAXI staff for making this platform available, and especially for the Road Rally where I met several future collaborators and signed one of the library contracts. Also, thank you to the members of this forum who have helped a lot along the way.

Now onto year #2! (I haven't submitted anything for a while as I was busy writing for the libraries I signed with, but now is a good time to get back on the submission trail)

Hubert.

That's a great first year Congrats . Just keep doing what whtever it is you''re doing.

And be sure to put those signed tracks into a Tunesat Account so you know if they get placed ahead of the long wait for them to hit your PRO account

Thanks so much guys!

Again I cannot stress enough how much this forum and community has helped to get there. In all aspects: technical stuff, gaining confidence, sharing experiences, and the list goes on.
