Production Music
Writing production music
Writing production music can be a daunting task. Being a versatile musician and a fast worker are a must in this business. As clients often say" I needed it yesterday!"
Production music libraries will typically offer a broad range of musical styles and genres, enabling producers and editors to find much of what they need in the same library. Music libraries vary in size from a few hundred tracks up to many thousands. There are many reputable libraries out there so do your research.
I would steer away from companies that want exclusivity unless they pay you upfront for material. Usually the non-exclusive library is your way to go.
You can find these companies by going in Google and typing in the keyword
<a href="<a href="http://www.directcomposer.com/" target="_blank">http://www.directcomposer.com">Production Music</a> libraries or "Stock Music Libraries". When you check out their site they will usually have a faq or submission tab to send them music. Do not…I repeat do not ever pay a company to submit music. This is usually a scam. Remember you are the artist….and you are the one providing them free material to make money off of….not the other way around.
As an example to how a typical production library works, feel free to check out my company http://www.directcomposer.com you will be able to see and preview production music and there is also a little video explaining the licensing process.
The bonus of writing for this medium vs touring/cd sales etc…Is that you don't sell the rights to your songs…you are just allowing them to license a song for a set amount of time and a set price. This essentially means that you can license the same song over and over again…….great deal for musicians
Some key points to work on are for writing production music are…
1:Learn your sequencer and programs inside and out.
2.accumulate good sounding libraries.
3.Learn how to mix and master
4.Study various styles of music and emulate there tones/arrangements and textures.
5.Don't be discouraged if a song gets rejected.
I have had many songs rejected over the years but that just pushed me to get better. In the 4 years I have delved head first into this business, I have licensed hundreds of songs and had my music on all of the major TV shows.....it can be done.
Learn from your mistakes and write everyday. I once heard that it is better to do something about your goal every day…even if it is poorly done….rather than do nothing at all. This is very true….believe me…I have written more than a few crappy songs…lol!
In further articles I will give my advice on the key points listed above, and hopefully will inspire you to great things!

Production music and music stings: the music for the soul!
The world of music is something that can soothe as well as pep up the mood of a person. No wonder music of diverse kinds has been a very vital and integral part of media and entertainment. Production music and music stings occupy a very conspicuous part of the entertainment industry. It is very true that any form of a video clip has an amplified impact upon the audience when an appropriate piece of music is incorporated into it. Consequently, the demand for music has been considered invaluable since time immemorial. These music bits are basically produced by music libraries that also own the possession rights of the music piece.
The music stings are usually sold to be used in the television, films, radio and so on. These libraries possess complete rights of the music that they own. As a result, they are free to license any music piece to the customer without worrying about acquiring the consent of the composer. The easy access to a plethora of music bits makes such libraries as the finest option for licensing the music. You're not only getting to pick from a wide assortment of music but also do not need to shovel out huge chunks of money on the same.
The myriad genre of music available in the libraries of production music and music stings helps customers choose something that suits their requirements completely. Usually such experts of music play a significant role in the television as well radio. The advertisements played on these media require easy access on music pieces that are apt for various jingles and logos. This kind of jingle music helps in establishing an audio-visual impact on the listeners and the audience in relation to the brand name. Whether it is a product or the publicity of the channel itself, musical stings can do wonders in grabbing the attention of the people.
The music transitions generally from the music bits that take forward one segment of the video to another. Linking two segments of a video or show is usually done with such excerpts of music. These kinds and many more varieties of music bits exist in the libraries. Production music and music stings provided by the library usually functions on two diverse streams of revenue. When the library provides a piece of music as video music, for jingle, etc. it is paid the revenue directly. Although it is not mandatory at all, there are certain production music libraries that provide a share of the amount to the composer.
On the other hand, performance cost is the sum of money received by the library if the music is being performed publicly. The nature and repetition pattern of the music bit determines the cost that can be charged by the library. Production music and music stings undoubtedly forms a major industry on which the entertainment and advertising business is reliant upon. It is evident from the boom in the emergence and growth of such libraries, how well the industry is doing in the market.
