Profound Advice from a Music Library CEO

Описание: These are just some of the topics we’ll be talking about on this week’s show with Chuck Henry, a very successful Music Library CEO. Chuck was a TAXI member before he started his company, so he knows exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes! You’ll get perspectives from both sides of the coin on topics like these…

The reasons why you haven’t been called back from the companies your music has been forwarded to.
Is it better to submit multiple tracks, or just one?
Music Library Etiquette: What it is and why it matters so much!
You’ve been contacted by a company, now what?
Why checking your music files before sending them is CRITICAL.
What NOT to include in your Metadata!
Should you register your tracks with your PRO or not?
Samples: Can you use them, and if so, what kind?
The absolute worst times to contact Music Library CEOs and Music Supervisors!
Why a Music Library executive hasn’t returned your phone call or email.
Choosing the right styles of music to create for sync placements.

This is a powerful episode that will certainly save you some heartache, and probably help you get more music signed and placed. Do NOT miss this interview unless you’re already a highly-experienced composer, artist, or producer who already knows the answers to all of these career-changing topics.
