If I had to do it another way, it would be 500 tracks, 48K/16bit wav files, of the most likely to get used genres, on a hard drive.
I was very fortunate to put together a unique deal that works for me. So, what I’m saying is that there are a number of ways of approaching this concept. I’m labeling each track with Title, Composer(s), Publisher(s), PRO(s), genre, length, alternate versions/edits and descriptive information, like instrumentation. I was suggest length of license, i.e., annual /bi-annual etc. I’m leaning toward Soundminer, but I still have research to do.
I have files in folders separated by genre. I deliver 48K / 16bit broadcast wav files (editor’s request) on a hard drive. But I would definitely throw the ball right over the plate. If I was going to do this to pitch to networks, I’d cover a lot of genres. I’m not wasting my time writing tracks that won’t get used. I know that John Fulford mentioned that you need 500 to get in the door of the networks.Īs far as genres go, because this is a proprietary library, being built from the ground up, I’m writing what their editors use for their type of programming. I am doing :60, :30 and :15 versions, as well as beds and alternate mixes.
I am not pitching this library to any other television production company or network, as it is jointly owned by myself AND the television production company. Our goal over the next ten years is to build a library of 1000, or more tracks. I’ve entered into a joint venture with a television production company (for whom I had previously written theme music) to create a proprietary library for all of their productions. I am in the process of building a variation on this theme. There are a lot of networks and a lot of producers. I don’t think that there is one “right” answer for this question.

What would the license terms include?ĩ.) How would you label each track? Composer name and title? Underscores in place of blanks in the file name? What do you think about the average length and mixes beyond that? 10 second, 30, 60, loops? Some people advocate 30 and 60 second mixes but wouldn’t a music editor rather cut their own?ģ.)

I would also think you would need alternate mixes of each, including a full mix, DnB and a bed. I would think you would need at least 500 unique pieces of music covering many different genres. Some of the things I’d like to explore, in no particular order, are: Setting aside the difficulties of contacting these entities and actually making a deal I’d like to explore the “nuts and bolts” of preparing ones own music catalog for delivery to a potential production company or network. In the past threads have cropped up regarding the viability of contacting film and TV production companies (or networks) with ones own music library, thus bypassing having to deal with the middlemen of a traditional music library.
