Great video! I wish to know if i could write music with a keyboard to site like musicbed, if I don't have a big budget, what kinds of gear do I need in order to produce the quality they need?
I'm so stoked I stumbled on your channel last night. I think I watched about 9 of your vlogs and videos. I just joined Pond5 and I am starting on this journey of selling music. I been a studio engineer for many years and now I do live sound for a church as a part time gig. It pays the rent but now I need to make more because the cost of living keeps going up. I recorded and produced most of the music on my channel California Surfing on Logic and Pro Tools in my aparment ha ha. Anyway Thanks for being here with this helpfull channel. I subscribed and gave you a thumbs up! Regards, Ruben
Thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing with us! By now you should have some idea, so i will ask: How this use of different libraries is working for you? It is worth it to submit to them all?
Thanks for the comment. In my experience it has work well submitting to different non exclusive libraries. Some of them do better than others of course. But I keep uploading to all of them and I am as happy and grateful for even just a few sales from the ones that don't do well. Hope this helps.
Hi, I'm Jeff. I've been watching your videos since about Nov 2017. It helps my confidence to hear your words. I am a 55 year old lifelong "closet composer" which is the term I use for my years of writing and recording music and never doing anything with it. Since I have not submitted yet I want to start now and have given myself a deadline to kind of get some success by November 2018. my learning curve is preparing to submit. My question would be: How do I take my completed track, mix it and format it for a given sites procedure? It's probably obvious to some but for me It would be good if you went through that in one of your future videos...Thanks P.S. I recently lost the family cat to illness and you're right it's a real sad time for my wife and kids.
+Jeff Ireland Hello and thanks for the comment and for sharing. Maybe I can help you with your question instead of you waiting for a video. First, tell me a bit more about what you want to know. But if you have a finished track (s), I am assuming you have them mixed them. I have one video about my approach to mixing. But not for mastering, which I will do one for sure. Also, when it comes to preparing your track for upload, its a very simple process. Some sites are drag and drop your files and then you add the name of the track and description and tags. I understand that it can be a bit intimidating when you have never done it. If you want to, we can connect via Skype and speed up your process of achieving your goals. Let me know. PS: Thanks for the cat comment, we still miss Julie very much, and I am sorry about your cat.
Thanks for such a quick response. I'm going to watch your mixing tips clip (and a few others) and I'm getting the Xpand VST which you mentioned in another recent video on 'how to do midi only corporate tracks'. I am a keyboard player which is my strength. I researched Xpand some more and I believe it will help me with sound choices. I am going to just push through and do some uploads to start. I will definitely get back to you with questions. You are doing a great job with your videos. Do you ever get snow where you are?...just wondering..we're buried in Canada...lol
hi friend I enjoy your video blog's and I am very happy for your success so far . I too am a musician who has made the decision to start making stock music. the thing is I have no clue how to start , what I can and can't do , is there a video or any advice you can offer on how to just get the ball rolling . OK thank you and the best of luck you and your family.
+john coker hello mate, well you can start by writing music in the context of commercial, advertising or TV ad. If you have no idea about this, then listen to other composers on Pond5, Productiontrax or Audiojungle. Try to write music in the style that you feel more comfortable , rock, pop, folk etc. Keep it simple and straight that the point. Open an account on a stock library website, like Pond5 for example, upload and learn from your mistakes. Hope this helps
Diva Production Music TV yes it does help and thanks for your response, it seems like kind of a silly question but this is new to me . so I guess one other question if you can answer is that you can send the same song to different libraries ? Any way thank you and I hope you continue having success.
I apologise in advance if you have covered this in other videos, but I was wondering if you are creating original tracks for each site, or if there are exclusivity allowances on a lot of these sites? I know audiojungle allows non-exclusive tracks at a reduced price, but I don't know much about the others.
+Guy Slator I have non exclusive accounts with all of the sites. But, I also have one exclusive account on Audiojungle. To sum it up: I have 2 accounts in Audiojungle and all the others are non exclusive. So yes, I upload the same music to all of them, and only make exclusive music to one. Hope this help.
Thanks very much for the response that's very helpful. I've only had a chance to watch a couple of your videos so far, but they have made me have a good think about going in this direction, I've been wanting to move back to music for some time and I think this might work for me. I'll look forward to catching up with your content in the future and thanks for the inspiration.
If you submit to exclusive sites, is it okay to send the same tracks to multiple sites? Then once you sign a contract with one, can you just decline the others so that just the one has access? Or do I need to send unique tracks to each place?
+Kevin Harris , I wouldn't do it like that. I would send only non exclusive music to non exclusive libraries and that's that. And I would submit unique music to the exclusive one.
I am looking to upload some of my Music to music placement libraries but I don't have any money to get started are there any libraries that I can join and make money on for free until I can start earning a living
Hey man, I'm writing a thesis about music libraries, your videos are very good, thank you :)
My pleasure!!
