Thank you new to this. Thought of even trying it great insight on the reality of the work life balance and patients semms as time goes royalties grow slowly and past work still make $ that add up as you learn every day good job
Well nice to see where You live, most of My videos are filmed outside, as I don't like My home, walls are to thin can hear everyone and they can hear Me. That bike maintenance stand is cool, however it would definitely be vandalised where I live.
Thank You for Your time.A lot of information .I have a question about EMI ,ASAP. Im not from USA.Its worldwide organization or i have registered my song first in my country in similar organization like ZAiKS in my country Poland. I would like be a worldwidewhat is best solution ?
If ZAIKS is like ASCAP, BMI etc. They collect royalties worldwide. For instance I'm with ASCAP. They collect royalties from all other countries. So you should be fine but check with ZAIKS.
I use Logic Pro as my DAW. They have a way to save templates. What I do is open up a blank project. I then create several instrument tracks. If I'm doing Hip Hop. I'll create several tracks with Lead synths, Bass, Drums etc. I do the same if I'm making drama/suspense. I'll use more pad heavy plugins. Then when I got all the instruments I want I save it as a template. Even if you don't use Logic you should have a way to save a template.
It probably could of. But sometimes you need more context. I could of made the video 10 seconds. "Add a sting ending" video done. I assume you're so busy that everything you do in life needs to be maximized to only be a few minutes.
It's good to see an older gentleman(no disrespect) do his thing, work on music and earn income. At least music will pay for itself even if it ain't millions. Your video was super encouraging🙌🏿🔥
I am from Brooklyn NY and I am composing better tracks and I am learning how to be apart of a music libraries team. I am also learning how to research libraries. I am composing hip hop , Pop and R&B tracks. Wish me luck. and I like your kinda content.
Thanks for this video. During your Friday night reviews a little while ago, a better sting ending is one of the main critiques of my track. I made those changes and totally hear the difference in just that one ending. And it's definitely in films/shows as you mentioned when listening. So thanks again. Always looking forward to the videos.
Great info..I definitely use stingers… I got a question though…Do you create sports cues without horns? Have you ever got placed a hard beat driven cue with just effects?
I have got sports cues without using horns. If I don't use horn hits you can use other "hard hitting" accents like strings, orchestral drums, stab lead sounds, and fx's
@@beatbuildersstudio right on..I figure I would go that route with fx,stabs etc ..the horns are cool but I'm just trying to bring another dynamic to my cues,thanks..what you working on at this time?
Congrats that track definitely give me the vibe of like Ryan seacrest speaking about some contestants while it runs. or better yet like you say here the Oscars.💯🏆🏆🥃
It really depends on what type of music you make. Search tv shows that have a similar style of music to yours. Look for who provides the music in the credits or online. You can also search for "music production libraries" and get a ton of results.
Great track; definitely retro sounding; appreciate the breakdown. Great video going over the aspects that have been brought up prior and can continue to be a sticking point. I've aborted tracks because by the next day I didn't like them anymore, and as you pointed out, we just don't know, so I'll start finishing those particular ones. It took patience to get into my first library last month. Now it will be tested waiting for a placement, as I continue to write and submit. However, this video points out a couple of things I was unaware being new to this: 1. On your ASCAP sheet showing the air date from 2019 and just seeing it now - I was unaware that they could hold-out for five years as this before letting us know, especially if involving royalties; 2. It's interesting that we may not even know that a track was used until we might later on. I incorrectly assumed that when it's grabbed, we would be signing a sync deal/fee agreement. So these videos have really been helping as I'm learning and navigating the administrative-type aspects of it all. Thanks so much, always look forward to the next.
Yea finish those tracks. You never know. It's better to have something submitted instead of it sitting on your hard drive. Yea most companies don't tell you about placements right away unless you do a big deal like an advertising campaign, major theme song or something were you are competing against other songs. You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video.
@@beatbuildersstudio I have a lot to learn. I don't know where along the way I got the idea that when a music supervisor selects and is using our track from the music library, we get an upfront license fee to some degree for use; therefore, we would know. Sounds like in most cases we would only get some royalties later on. That's another discouraging element I'll have to get past.
Thank you so much for the video!! So much good information in here😄 Question, if im not from the U.S can i still use ascap or bmi or any of those platforms? Thank you!
You have to use the PRO of the country that you are in but it depends. I currently live in Canada but was able to sign up for USA PRO's because I lived there first and signed up there. Check for the country you live in and see what groups collect royalties.
Great advice, much appreciated. Helps take the edge off of some of the concerns when making beats, especially the EQ part. What slows me the most though is somehow I have it in my head that every library reviewer or music supervisor goes thru every millisecond of every track from start to finish with a fine tooth comb, dissecting and looking for things to reject it on. As I may have mentioned prior, I have a hard time finishing even a finished track without thinking and going back and tweaking stuff, adding another break, sound, whatever, under the vision of some supervisor destroying it. Don't know if they do or not, but that is really slowing down production for me. I can create a song quick. I just can't seem to let it be finished. Thanks again for these videos. They help more than you know!
No problem. It takes time to get over those types of things when you been doing it for so long. It took me a while to realize all of the minor stuff is minor.
I thought I mentioned it in the video but I probably skipped over it since most of my audience is from the US. You need to look up your country and what they use as a PRO. Every country has one. You'll have to registrar with them. So follow the same step but use the PRO where you are located.
This was an awesome video. I love how you sometimes take us beyond the desk and DAW to make a point regarding sync. Additionally, the garden analogy caught the ear of my wife who ran over and watched too. She's growing all kinds of veggies in the backyard and can get irritated when certain ones take seemingly forever to produce. So you just reached non-sync folks too with this. But it's amazing that you mentioned things that actually just occurred, i.e., I get ocular migraines from the desk job, and I did just just finally get accepted to my first library. So now the patience really has to kick-in, as I pace around wondering when is the track getting picked-up just as you mentioned. So you called it - almost like you been there once or twice? 🤣 Now if I could just stop being an over perfectionist trying to tweak every millisecond of a new track taking away time that I could have started another new one, I'll be on a roll. Thanks again for these.
