Hello Mo Folk, I have a music licensing question for any and all who would like to chime in. I have set a personal goal to license at least 40 tracks to 5 different companies between now and the end of March. I am currently doing research on licensing agencies. I wanted to know which ones have worked for mo’ folk on this forum. I know Johnny Boy is signed up with a few. I have been accepted by the Pump Audio website and am also looking at Musicsupervisor.com. Any suggestions on these sites or others? Please start the discussion. Thanks!..... (Keyfax, please go back to the previous setup for this website. I don’t even like signing on anymore. LOL).... |

It’s REALLY helpful to have a website of your own up. Much better
Keep in mind that your tracks have to be master quality, which means they have to be as good as what you currently hear on TV and in film. If you don’t know how to arrange, mix, and master you need
On the positive side, bear in mind that out of all the music out there, only about 10% of it is really commercially viable. The rest
