رونوشت کامل ‘Expected’ Isn’t a Placement: Composer Agreements, Netflix & TV Syncs

05:22.380 --> 05:26.496 Alexander's been in the hub for like a couple weeks and dude's already just 05:27.480 --> 05:30.208 out here crushing it. Let's go. Um, 05:31.900 --> 05:35.025 and the fact that he mentioned being in 05:35.073 --> 05:38.295 it for the long run, that's literally like, 05:38.780 --> 05:42.648 that's everything. Like you gotta, you just gotta hunker 05:43.148 --> 05:47.241 down for this journey, man, because I mean, nothing's guaranteed. 05:47.289 --> 05:50.422 You don't really know how long it's gonna take. You don't know if somebody's gonna 05:50.438 --> 05:53.811 hit you back. You don't know if you have what they need. 05:53.875 --> 05:57.666 You just— there's so many unknowns, but the only way you 05:58.166 --> 06:01.569 figure it out is like just moving a step at a time and moving forward 06:01.681 --> 06:05.199 and then just like not stopping. Um, so if you like 06:05.699 --> 06:08.923 set the expectation that I'm going to be doing this for 06:08.972 --> 06:12.518 a long time. Um, I think, 06:13.144 --> 06:16.787 I think those are the ones that end up getting wins 06:16.932 --> 06:20.767 because they just set realistic expectations. You know, 06:20.783 --> 06:24.138 like I hear some producers hit me up and they, they're just like, 06:24.218 --> 06:27.540 yo, like how long is it going to take? Or, you know, 06:27.765 --> 06:30.332 do you think I can get a placement in a month? Or do you think 06:30.832 --> 06:35.194 like, and it's just like, yo, like, let's manage expectations. 06:35.531 --> 06:39.219 Like, let's just expect not to have any placements this 06:39.719 --> 06:43.613 year, probably not to have any placements next year. You're about to do 06:43.870 --> 06:47.013 a lot of foundation building, like, for the next 06:47.513 --> 06:50.991 few years, and then just, like, lock in with that 06:51.103 --> 06:54.904 because, like, realistically, it may— 06:55.048 --> 06:57.710 it just— it may not happen for a while. 06:59.680 --> 07:03.267 So if you're okay with that and then you can just fall 07:03.767 --> 07:06.692 in love with the process, man, I think that it just takes you a long 07:06.805 --> 07:09.916 way for sure. Brother Truman is in 07:09.948 --> 07:12.167 the building. What's good? Um, 07:13.083 --> 07:16.411 so yeah, Birdman Pro has entered the building. We were just 07:16.911 --> 07:20.806 talking about that win. Um, trailers have 3-act structure. It's a whole other 07:20.904 --> 07:24.591 animal. Get them, Alexander. Yeah, man, that good old 3-act structure 07:25.091 --> 07:28.719 for sure. Um, Payday Producers 07:28.751 --> 07:29.683 in the building, what's good? 07:31.787 --> 07:35.161 Janelle has entered Sync 07:35.661 --> 07:38.840 Producer Live, what's good, Janelle? Um, so dope stuff, man. 07:38.953 --> 07:42.424 Congrats to Alexander, let's go! Trey Mosley with a win 07:42.924 --> 07:45.702 says, I know it's not music, I know it's not music, but an article about 07:46.202 --> 07:49.693 my voiceover

career came out today. Here's the link. It's a win, 07:49.709 --> 07:52.541 maybe not musically, even Um, 07:53.312 --> 07:56.459 even I do mention my music production, 07:56.780 --> 07:59.959 but a win nonetheless. Here's the link. Um, and then he 08:00.459 --> 08:02.753 shares the link with us. If you're in the hub, you could check that out. 08:02.882 --> 08:05.836 Let's go, Trey. 08:05.932 --> 08:09.224 Shout out to being in the article and shout out to the voiceover 08:09.724 --> 08:12.644 career, man. There's actually like, there's a lot of overlap in that. 08:12.821 --> 08:16.546 Um, actually, so that's super 08:17.046 --> 08:19.756 dope. Love to see it. Um, 08:20.527 --> 08:24.138 maybe, maybe one day you'll do voiceover work and 08:24.638 --> 08:28.087 then put your own music underneath it, and then you get a double placement. 08:29.291 --> 08:31.425 Dope stuff. Marty's in the building. What's good, Marty? 08:32.886 --> 08:36.915 Let's see. Uh, Rich with a small but not insignificant 08:37.415 --> 08:41.522 win. You may have heard me lamenting 08:41.891 --> 08:45.920 about running out of space on my main drive. It's like 08:46.420 --> 08:50.847 a, it's like a yearly issue for me too. Who knew 1 terabyte would 08:50.879 --> 08:54.634 be just a pittance? Who wants to be a 08:54.730 --> 08:58.710 terabyte tear? Still living 08:58.887 --> 09:02.402 in Sonoma and Logic 11, I knew something had to be done. 09:02.450 --> 09:05.948 So with only 4 or 5 gigs left, I went to work. 09:06.430 --> 09:10.105 That's actually, it's actually more than, than I have 09:10.137 --> 09:13.074 when I get to this point of having to clear my hard drive. 09:13.203 --> 09:16.538 It literally just happened this week. I recovered like, 09:17.420 --> 09:20.882 I recovered a chunk of random, it was a 09:21.186 --> 09:24.584 random like series download 09:24.793 --> 09:27.742 on from Apple TV that I don't even watch. 09:28.880 --> 09:32.470 It just sitting on my computer and 09:32.566 --> 09:36.845 it cleared up like, cleared up like 60 gigs. 09:37.069 --> 09:40.964 It was, it was crazy. Anyways, um, number 1, 09:41.156 --> 09:44.586 follow the online guidance to somehow get to 10 gigabytes. That's an 09:45.086 --> 09:48.513 accomplishment alone. 2, restarted, cleared off unused 09:49.013 --> 09:51.783 archives onto an external hard drive. Got to 12, 09:52.071 --> 09:56.271 still not enough to download Tahoe. 3, applied Sonoma patches, 09:56.447 --> 09:59.925 which somehow got me to 20 gigs, enough to download 10:00.425 --> 10:04.557 and install Tahoe. Installing Tahoe still left enough space to upgrade to Logic 10:05.057 --> 10:08.420 12.3. Tested existing projects and everything still worked. 10:08.644 --> 10:12.427 A win. This is— these are stack— these are the win stacks right 10:12.927 --> 10:16.972 here. 5, upgraded to latest version of Kontakt 8 and installed 10:17.472 --> 10:21.181 straight plugins waiting in the queue. Took most of the day, but I 10:21.681 --> 10:25.342 feel updated. Getting back to work on unfinished projects and new tracks. 10:25.599 --> 10:28.684 I get the feeling I will be going through this merry-go-round again 10:28.732 --> 10:32.025 soon. Yo, shout out to Rich. Those are 10:32.154 --> 10:33.214 wins though, man, 10:33.375 --> 10:36.652 because listen, like, 10:37.616 --> 10:39.849 it's hard to be productive when you ain't got no space. 10:40.667 --> 10:44.294 Like you can't, and it's crazy because it's stuff 10:44.794 --> 10:48.707 like that, software updates, Logic OS 10:49.207 --> 10:51.885 updates, it forces you to go and recover space. 10:53.024 --> 10:56.474 And you just, it just, it just makes you like, you're just like, 10:56.490 --> 11:00.630 okay, I'm not producing today. I'll be sitting here figuring 11:00.662 --> 11:03.471 out ways to clear up space. Um, 11:03.808 --> 11:07.001 so shout out to you. You got all updated. 11:08.018 --> 11:11.666 I love to see it. Let's go, Phil Scott 11:12.135 --> 11:15.105 Bailey with the win. He almost gave up. 11:17.210 --> 11:20.511 Um, so he says, uh, story time. I think— oh, 11:20.593 --> 11:23.488 so he— I think it was edited. Um, 11:23.568 --> 11:27.270 because I think we, I think we, uh, I think we went over this 11:27.770 --> 11:31.457 last week. I don't know. Let's reread it because it's edited. So who knows? 11:31.748 --> 11:34.785 Story time. I'm part of a production house that provides music for a TV show 11:34.801 --> 11:38.579 in-house and decided to take on a brief for a genre that I wasn't 100% 11:38.787 --> 11:42.393 comfortable with because I don't specialize in it. I do remember this. The genre 11:42.893 --> 11:45.613 was island pop. I studied the reference and took a stab at it and got 11:46.113 --> 11:49.058 feedback that made me second-guess resubmitting that genre. Uh, 11:49.202 --> 11:52.519 the feedback was something like, this cue feels empty. It needs to feel alive. 11:52.583 --> 11:55.628 This one may have to wait until the next submission window. 11:55.788 --> 11:59.233 That feedback humbled me pretty quickly, made me think maybe this genre 11:59.733 --> 12:02.438 isn't for me, but a voice said, just try it anyway. So I did. 12:02.518 --> 12:06.077 And guess what? The cue was approved the following week. I carefully read the 12:06.109 --> 12:09.898 feedback and tried my best to make the cue fit the needs of the team, 12:09.914 --> 12:12.596 and it worked out. Moral of the story, never doubt yourself. 12:13.655 --> 12:17.878 Yeah, I think I do remember that. Shout out to Philip again 12:18.071 --> 12:21.346 on that. Never give up again. Just sticking 12:21.379 --> 12:25.120 with it, being in it for the long run. Logic and Waves leaves 12:25.634 --> 12:28.427 a bunch of cache files. Yes. 12:28.588 --> 12:32.265 Yeah, for sure. Especially Waves. Like, And it's tricky because 12:32.795 --> 12:35.428 some of them, like, I don't know what's safe to delete. 12:36.568 --> 12:39.683 So like, I don't wanna delete

some stuff 'cause I'm like, man, what if it 12:40.183 --> 12:43.617 just stops working? Then I gotta go and reinstall all 12:44.117 --> 12:48.675 these plugins again. And then knowing Waves, I'll go back to try and reinstall and 12:49.175 --> 12:52.625 download the installers. And then they want me to do an update plan and ain't 12:53.125 --> 12:56.751 nobody trying to do that. And then all of a sudden I went from Deleting 12:56.799 --> 13:00.606 something to clear up space to now paying $300 13:00.959 --> 13:04.701 to update Waves plugins that I had no plan on 13:05.038 --> 13:08.556 updating. It just gets, it just gets crazy. 13:08.813 --> 13:11.286 It just escalates from there. Um, 13:12.282 --> 13:15.622 so yeah, man, and we got some level-ups in there from Carl, 13:15.879 --> 13:19.493 Alex. Let's go, man. Um, so yeah, love to see 13:19.993 --> 13:22.689 it. Shout out to everybody in the community, Sync Producer Hub community winning. 13:23.109 --> 13:26.316 Making progress on this sync journey. Let's go, man. 13:26.673 --> 13:29.751 Um, I got a 5 13:30.251 --> 13:33.977 terabyte external. My Kontakt takes 1.5 terabyte plus. 13:34.766 --> 13:36.972 Yeah, I believe it, man. It's eating up some space. 13:38.557 --> 13:41.635 Yep. Um, the cat ate my 13:42.135 --> 13:44.697 hard drive. I had to, um, 13:45.215 --> 13:49.183 make some island pop music. It wasn't clicking until I just sidechained 13:49.683 --> 13:52.091 everything to give it that movement. Ah, nice. 13:53.550 --> 13:56.626 Um, yep, 100%, 13:57.630 --> 14:01.096 man. I'm telling you, bro, like, I think we all— like, 14:01.112 --> 14:04.649 we all have those moments, man. Like, no matter, no matter how many 14:05.149 --> 14:07.926 placements you get, no matter how long you've been doing this, man, 14:09.104 --> 14:13.113 listen, at any moment you can be humbled 14:13.615 --> 14:16.789 and just like quickly realize or second-guess 14:17.289 --> 14:20.857 yourself. Just like, man, honestly, I don't even know I don't even know 14:21.357 --> 14:24.735 if I can make this happen for real. And but you just 14:25.235 --> 14:31.122 like, I don't know, you just kind of push through it because 14:31.786 --> 14:34.232 like you're in it. So it's just like, 14:34.880 --> 14:37.431 yeah, man, it, it happens. 14:38.818 --> 14:40.333 It absolutely happens. 14:43.655 --> 14:47.138 Um, so yeah, we got Allison in the building says Tonight is 14:48.138 --> 14:52.219 baking it, botching it. That means 14:52.251 --> 14:54.088 you fend for yourself. Oh, okay. 14:54.973 --> 14:58.967 Um, I had Marie Callender bacon cheese chicken. 14:59.595 --> 15:03.349 I always add to these things both mozzarella and cheddar and 15:03.608 --> 15:06.244 bits of more bacon. Um, 15:07.473 --> 15:10.676 so yeah. Uh, Allison says, I have a question for the Hub. If I wrote 15:10.805 --> 15:14.580 a cookbook, dinners for producers, easy, yummy, 15:14.839 --> 15:18.123 with love for busy artists and creatives. What do y'all think?

15:18.576 --> 15:23.337 Y'all chime in the chat. What do y'all think if Allison wrote 15:23.401 --> 15:27.088 a cookbook for producers and creatives? 15:28.634 --> 15:31.947 Aaron says, random, I know, but why haven't I heard of a tech 15:32.447 --> 15:33.472 company named Cash Money? 15:36.802 --> 15:42.023 Yep. Yep, this is— this— these 15:42.136 --> 15:45.755 are the types of conversations that happen inside the Hub and that need 15:45.851 --> 15:49.309 to happen. Because why, why haven't 15:49.325 --> 15:51.603 we heard of a tech company named Cash Money? 15:53.077 --> 15:56.689 It sounds like a tech company slash record label 15:57.608 --> 16:01.161 because— wait, Cash Money is a record label, 16:01.963 --> 16:05.234 um, or was it, or was it a, uh, a group? 16:06.817 --> 16:09.055 No, it was a record label. Yeah, Cash Money Records. 16:09.796 --> 16:12.550 Um, so, 16:14.080 --> 16:17.091 but spelled Cash. That's probably why, 16:17.526 --> 16:21.422 honestly. It was some lawsuit would probably happen, that's why. 16:23.241 --> 16:26.717 But would it though? Because technically it's a different 16:27.217 --> 16:30.925 industry. One is music industry, one is tech. 16:32.122 --> 16:35.796 I don't know. Music and tech can kind of cross over, 16:36.367 --> 16:40.109 but I don't know. Could they run into some trademark 16:40.609 --> 16:43.784 issues? I don't know. Michael Connor Music, 16:44.452 --> 16:45.186 what's good, bro? 16:49.787 --> 16:53.327 All his raps are about never giving up. That's why, 16:53.343 --> 16:58.460 that's why he made it through, bro. Like, he just 16:58.960 --> 17:02.165 It was like just self-fulfilling prophecy. Like all of his raps 17:02.665 --> 17:05.887 are just about not giving up. So even if he could, he couldn't 17:05.904 --> 17:09.531 give up if he wanted to, 'cause just subconsciously because 17:10.031 --> 17:13.251 of everything that he writes and that comes out, it's just, 17:13.396 --> 17:16.552 he's not a quitter. So he just didn't quit even 17:17.052 --> 17:18.130 though he wanted to, he couldn't. 17:22.669 --> 17:26.277 So yeah, we do. I'm pretty sure 17:26.358 --> 17:27.268 we all love to eat. 17:30.161 --> 17:33.697 Um, I know, 17:33.713 --> 17:34.924 right? 17:37.572 --> 17:40.295 Oh man, music tech, music tech. I mean, 17:40.874 --> 17:44.268 yeah, it, I mean, it's just, 17:44.413 --> 17:48.242 it merges. I mean, just with software, software, hardware, 17:48.259 --> 17:52.012 technology, music. It's hard 17:52.512 --> 17:55.589 to separate the two. Anyways, let me go back. Uh, Tim, Tim, 17:55.734 --> 17:59.262 that post about, uh, we need to talk about that. Um, 18:01.546 --> 18:05.395 because it was in his win, but then he mentioned it in, 18:05.910 --> 18:10.516 uh, in a post prior 18:10.581 --> 18:13.531 to the win. Here we go. 18:15.573 --> 18:18.301 'Cause this is facts. And it's like, 18:19.601 --> 18:23.052 it's also a part of the process too 18:23.983 --> 18:27.209 with getting things synced, 18:27.354 --> 18:31.302 especially if you're the one going back and forth with the 18:31.802 --> 18:34.319 music supervisor or the music team on a film. 18:35.619 --> 18:39.214 So here, let's check it out. So it says, 18:39.247 --> 18:43.100 what I learned about composer agreements. Alert, it's a long read, 18:43.919 --> 18:47.034 so I hope y'all got masa chips. This year so 18:47.534 --> 18:50.936 far, I signed 4 composer agreements for songs I produced 18:51.112 --> 18:55.255 that's quote unquote expected according 18:55.303 --> 18:58.547 to the emails to appear in 2 episodes of The Chi. 18:59.157 --> 19:02.738 Well, we just seen one of those land, and one episode of 19:02.770 --> 19:06.399 A Different World releasing September 24th, 2026 on Netflix. 19:06.704 --> 19:10.217 I'm looking, I'm looking forward to seeing how they how they did that, 19:10.618 --> 19:14.079 uh, this new, uh, A Different World, because that was one of my favorite 19:14.579 --> 19:17.812 shows, bro. Like that, yeah, I hope they, I hope they do it justice. 19:18.069 --> 19:21.706 I, I feel like they will. I hope they do. Um, 19:22.106 --> 19:24.862 so it'll be interesting to see how they kind of flip that, um, 19:25.375 --> 19:28.676 to, to today. Anyways, one of the songs from The 19:29.176 --> 19:32.634 Chi is quote unquote expected to appear in 19:32.682 --> 19:35.774 A Different World as well. Cool, that's money from 2 different shows with 19:36.274 --> 19:40.413 one song. Now Notice how I place the word expected 19:40.831 --> 19:43.770 in quotations, right? Here's why. To me, 19:44.043 --> 19:47.288 expected means maybe, might, 19:47.978 --> 19:51.544 could be. It's possible that they will be 19:51.592 --> 19:55.110 on the shows mentioned, but until I hear it on 19:55.158 --> 19:58.643 the shows, it's not a placement to me yet. 19:59.398 --> 20:03.220 I agree, it's a good look and a win for 20:03.252 --> 20:06.729 at least getting the agreement but not a placement. 20:07.002 --> 20:09.630 Even if they pay me the money mentioned in the agreement, 20:10.367 --> 20:13.475 it's still not a placement. Let me explain. 20:14.068 --> 20:17.561 It's happened to me in the past. The company switched gears with the music at 20:17.593 --> 20:21.535 the last minute. No harm, no foul, just switched. 20:21.904 --> 20:25.846 Prior to that, I posted all over social media 20:26.246 --> 20:31.024 about the placement but had to take it down And 20:31.120 --> 20:34.619 all that to say, make sure the placement is secure 20:35.389 --> 20:39.080 because some of your family and friends who care will 20:39.580 --> 20:42.643 say, hey, I watched the shows and didn't hear 20:43.157 --> 20:45.853 your music. That is— wow, 20:46.543 --> 20:49.897 that's hard, man. That's tough. P.S., 20:50.074 --> 20:54.086 still sign the agreement though. Facts. Here's a screenshot 20:54.586 --> 20:57.298 of one of the emails I got last month. Um, 20:57.860 --> 21:00.527 no, this is so true. This is so true.

21:01.540 --> 21:05.058 I— the mentor told me this when we were working 21:05.315 --> 21:08.031 on some music for an artist, 21:08.770 --> 21:11.823 and literally he 21:11.839 --> 21:14.699 was just like, I know it's exciting, 21:15.052 --> 21:18.908 but just don't even tell anybody because it's 21:19.408 --> 21:22.949 not official, even though the artist recorded it. It's still not official, 21:23.079 --> 21:27.049 even though they're hyped and they're talking about doing this and doing that and 21:27.549 --> 21:30.144 it possibly being a single, this and that. 21:31.670 --> 21:35.468 Until even after the ink dries, 21:35.971 --> 21:38.178 he's just like, 21:38.903 --> 21:42.551 wait till the joint is out because things can change. 21:43.100 --> 21:47.168 Surely enough, things changed and it 21:47.361 --> 21:50.362 never went through. 21:51.011 --> 21:54.467 It got cut and everything. It got cut twice 21:55.617 --> 21:58.402 and placement never happened. 21:59.341 --> 22:02.611 Um, and it's the same with sync, man. 22:04.136 --> 22:07.143 Like, things can change at the last minute. In fact, 22:08.581 --> 22:12.221 like, there's things pending now 22:13.025 --> 22:16.707 that, like, I, I don't consider 22:16.820 --> 22:20.756 a win because it's in that stage where even if 22:21.256 --> 22:23.434 a supervisor sends you a, 22:25.843 --> 22:30.627 uh, like a, uh, like a licensing quote or I 22:31.127 --> 22:34.574 forget what they got, a request, uh, to a clearance request or whatever, 22:35.701 --> 22:39.485 it still doesn't mean that the placement's gonna happen because something could change 22:39.985 --> 22:43.558 like last minute. They may go a different direction or I don't know, 22:43.574 --> 22:47.411 the show could get shut down before the episode airs. So many 22:47.443 --> 22:50.956 things can happen. So I still don't even— I still 22:51.456 --> 22:54.605 don't even count that as a win yet until, 22:56.233 --> 22:59.569 um, you hear it, man. Like, literally, that's probably the, 22:59.634 --> 23:03.469 the most confirmation you can get is 23:03.485 --> 23:06.788 like when you watch it and then you hear it and then you're like, 23:06.804 --> 23:09.285 okay, it did, it did get placed. 23:10.577 --> 23:14.551 Um, or Toonsat, because Toonsat heard it. Somebody has to hear 23:14.679 --> 23:17.483 it. If don't nobody hear it, man, it don't exist. 23:18.605 --> 23:22.242 And then you just— you hyped everybody up, you know, 23:23.172 --> 23:26.184 people hitting you up. I didn't— hey man, I watched it. Which, 23:26.376 --> 23:29.453 which, which part was this one? Was this one yours? Nah, 23:29.821 --> 23:32.241 nah, that wasn't mine. That wasn't, 23:33.186 --> 23:36.439 uh, actually I have nothing on there because 23:37.273 --> 23:40.286 placement didn't happen. I just— I got ahead of myself. I'm sorry. 23:41.680 --> 23:45.592 So yeah, no, it is, man. It is. Um, 23:45.752 --> 23:49.326 can't count the win too quick. Um, so yeah, you gotta— 23:49.358 --> 23:51.843 you gotta kind of— you gotta keep it to yourself for a little bit, 23:51.859 --> 23:54.872 man, until it— till it comes 23:54.904 --> 23:58.639 through. Now it is— it— 23:58.687 --> 24:02.358 for us personally, it's a micro win, 24:02.422 --> 24:06.060 right? It's a— it's a, uh It's 24:06.560 --> 24:10.483 a next step. So if you're getting agreements 24:10.983 --> 24:14.520 like this and things are expected to be placed, that's a great sign that you're 24:14.600 --> 24:18.004 on the right track. You're doing something right if people are 24:18.504 --> 24:22.344 sending you agreements and they're 24:22.844 --> 24:26.606 sending you licensing requests and clearance requests and things. That's a great 24:27.106 --> 24:30.154 sign. But yeah, just don't 24:30.654 --> 24:34.194 go telling everybody your music is on the show and 24:34.694 --> 24:38.084 the show didn't air yet. Um, 24:38.313 --> 24:41.441 or, you know, things haven't been finalized yet. 24:43.288 --> 24:46.271 Um, had that happen to me for a Super Bowl commercial I voiced. 24:46.691 --> 24:49.533 Told all my folks and it didn't air. Lesson learned. Yeah. 24:49.743 --> 24:51.539 Yep. Yep. 24:53.868 --> 24:57.265 Um, having the original cast will help for A Different World. I agree. 24:58.295 --> 25:01.946 Like, you— yeah, that joint, it was so, it was so iconic. Like, 25:01.962 --> 25:05.596 you gotta bring the original cast back 25:06.096 --> 25:06.725 in some way, shape, or form. 25:12.092 --> 25:15.129 Um, so yeah, Allison says, 25:15.210 --> 25:18.868 my husband's— my husband worked with this contractor. They built 25:18.884 --> 25:22.413 over 60 units out here in Pahrump, duplexes, homes, 25:22.511 --> 25:25.225 fourplexes. The company was called OPM, Other People's Money. 25:27.500 --> 25:31.842 Wow. Um, the McDowells. 25:32.421 --> 25:36.169 Cash Money was both a group and label, one with Ja Rule 25:36.362 --> 25:39.645 and the other with the Hot Boys. I thought so. That's why I was like, 25:39.694 --> 25:42.285 is it, is it a— wait, is that a group or a label? 25:42.907 --> 25:46.239 Um, so yeah. 25:48.971 --> 25:52.268 Um. But yeah, no, 25:52.602 --> 25:53.205 I love that show. 25:56.797 --> 26:00.042 Um, true, unfortunately. 26:02.275 --> 26:05.617 But yeah, man, um, yeah, crazy. Anyways, 26:05.649 --> 26:08.015 let me open up the line if you guys have any questions, you want to 26:08.064 --> 26:10.882 come up on camera or audio. Hopefully it's working this week. 26:11.913 --> 26:15.359 KJ tried it last week and that joint was not working. 26:15.757 --> 26:18.595 I updated Ecamm. Speaking of updates, Rich, 26:19.240 --> 26:23.488 I updated my Ecamm, so hopefully things 26:23.988 --> 26:25.659 are working the way they're supposed to work this week. 26:28.793 --> 26:32.829 No, he wasn't like a main cast member. Um, I don't know if 26:33.329 --> 26:36.626 he appeared on any episodes. He might have, he might have gotten there, I'm sure, 26:36.999 -->

26:40.574 and like appeared in some stuff, especially like 26:40.736 --> 26:44.002 early in those, that early season, um, when it 26:44.067 --> 26:47.396 kind of You know, was the spinoff. 26:48.410 --> 26:48.909 Um, 26:51.565 --> 26:54.657 so, but yeah, we'll see what they do with it, man. 26:55.367 --> 26:58.917 It should be interesting and nostalgic for 26:59.417 --> 27:02.079 sure. Um, 27:03.321 --> 27:06.636 Michael with a quick win from this week scored a short video, 27:06.652 --> 27:10.437 4 minutes for a Fire Smart awareness video. 27:10.599 --> 27:13.461 Only had about 2 and a half hours to get it done. Wow. 27:13.694 --> 27:17.495 Grateful for the opportunity. From an old friend and 27:17.995 --> 27:22.303 a small bag too. Let's go. That's definitely— and 27:22.480 --> 27:26.038 shout out for the 2.5-hour turnaround, man. I'll be trying to tell y'all this stuff, 27:26.470 --> 27:29.676 stuff is just quick sometimes where it's just like, yo, 27:30.942 --> 27:34.836 you just got to lock in and get it done. And some, like, somehow you 27:34.948 --> 27:38.490 figure it out. Troy Bennett says, does anyone use FL Studio? 27:38.554 --> 27:41.183 I think we got, we got a few FL Studio users in the building. 27:41.279 --> 27:44.740 I know Jason, Jason uses FL Studio. We're still trying to figure out 27:44.805 --> 27:48.346 how he plays keys and not 27:48.362 --> 27:51.891 play keys. But yeah, 27:52.052 --> 27:55.708 uh, well, I know, I know we got a few, definitely some FL 27:56.208 --> 27:57.995 Studio users. Um, 27:59.815 --> 28:03.277 so yeah, but that's dope. Yeah, man, these quick 28:03.310 --> 28:06.830 turnarounds are crazy. Um, but they're fun, dude. 28:06.895 --> 28:09.963 Like, I don't know, for me it's like, it's an adrenaline rush, 28:10.835 --> 28:13.719 uh, when it's just like, yo, I don't have a lot of time. 28:14.252 --> 28:17.064 It's a challenge. Like, let me see, let me see if I can do it. 28:17.920 --> 28:21.530 Like, if I, if I don't, like, okay, but I 28:21.676 --> 28:23.425 definitely want to try. This is fun. 28:25.080 --> 28:28.633 Jason Dowdy with a question. Um, 28:28.649 --> 28:32.585 uh-oh, here we go. When you have requests from multiple libraries, good problem 28:33.085 --> 28:36.152 to have, but only so much time, how do you 28:36.264 --> 28:39.903 prioritize? This is a great question. I get 28:40.403 --> 28:44.195 this question, uh, quite a bit, especially when it comes to like time management 28:44.695 --> 28:47.148 and things like that. So if you're at this stage, 28:48.590 --> 28:51.858 congratulations, you have 28:51.906 --> 28:53.822 a great problem. Um, 28:55.464 --> 28:59.197 this is how I personally prioritize it. I prioritize 28:59.406 --> 29:02.057 by, um, 29:03.343 --> 29:07.200 by deadline and budget. Those are like the top 29:07.700 --> 29:09.164 2. Things that I'm looking at. 29:12.412 --> 29:16.397 Um, yeah, deadline and budget and whether 29:16.897 --> 29:20.898 or not— so if, if they're all requests, meaning this 29:21.398 --> 29:24.385 is new stuff coming in, haven't started any project, 29:25.337 --> 29:28.486 I'll prioritize it by, um, 29:30.136 --> 29:34.118 well, there's 3. I'll say The 29:34.232 --> 29:36.350 budget, how much I'm getting paid for it, 29:37.951 --> 29:42.139 the deadline, and the likelihood 29:42.721 --> 29:46.995 of it getting placed based on prior 29:47.495 --> 29:52.825 experience with the company. So yeah, 29:53.050 --> 29:56.898 like say if a publisher hits me up and I just haven't gotten a ton 29:57.398 --> 30:00.897 of placements through them, it may 30:01.397 --> 30:04.166 fall a little lower in that prioritization, 30:05.068 --> 30:08.272 uh, uh, whatever. Um, 30:09.496 --> 30:11.476 if it's, if it's something where it's just like, hey, 30:12.813 --> 30:16.838 I've worked with this company before, I know whatever I do, we gonna 30:17.338 --> 30:21.103 see that in rotation within a year or so, no worries, 30:21.217 --> 30:22.653 boom, let's knock it out. 30:25.335 --> 30:28.330 Um, and then probably at the, like, lower of the list, 30:28.395 --> 30:31.808 4th, would be, um, 30:34.529 --> 30:39.497 just my, my ability and bandwidth to do it, right? So let's 30:39.546 --> 30:42.809 take for example, I get one request for, 30:44.433 --> 30:49.088 um, you know, my typical structured 30:49.506 --> 30:52.341 R&B hip-hop songs, right? Um, 30:54.811 --> 30:58.645 And then I get another request for a 30:58.709 --> 31:01.992 trailerized remix of a popular song. 31:03.154 --> 31:06.833 That trailerized remix is going to take me longer to 31:06.865 --> 31:10.416 produce than me creating an R&B 31:10.916 --> 31:14.772 hip-hop song from scratch. Because usually with 31:15.272 --> 31:18.080 a remix or whatever, I kind of have to kind of go in, learn the 31:18.580 --> 31:20.371 song a little bit. I have to listen to it. I have to see how 31:20.419 --> 31:24.324 I want to arrange it, how I want to break it up and do 31:24.518 --> 31:28.057 all the things. There's gonna be some different editing. 31:28.170 --> 31:31.418 It's just, it's a completely different creative process 31:31.466 --> 31:35.401 for me doing something like that versus 31:36.079 --> 31:38.579 in my lane creating something original. 31:41.209 --> 31:45.173 It's, yeah, I think it 31:45.303 --> 31:49.097 feels more experimental. And just takes 31:49.178 --> 31:52.930 a little more time remixing and 31:52.962 --> 31:55.009 trailerizing things for me. 31:57.800 --> 32:01.189 So, 'cause I don't know, like it's just like I wanna 32:01.269 --> 32:04.449 keep some of the, I wanna keep some 32:04.514 --> 32:08.490 of the like, you know, the original things of the song in there. 32:08.716 --> 32:13.226 And it's just different. It's just different creative. So if I know I 32:13.726 --> 32:16.936 don't have a ton of time to dedicate towards that with 32:17.197 --> 32:20.628 whatever else I have going on at the time, then I just, 32:20.709 --> 32:24.056 I may not

prioritize that. I'm gonna go with what I know I can knock 32:24.556 --> 32:27.337 out with the time that I have. So that's kind of how I do it. 32:29.170 --> 32:32.600 That's kind of how I prioritize it. So it's how much I'm making from 32:32.616 --> 32:33.174 the project. 32:36.293 --> 32:39.863 It's the deadline and whether 32:40.363 --> 32:43.223 or not I can even fit that into my schedule based on what I currently 32:43.255 --> 32:46.844 have on my plate. It is What I 32:47.344 --> 32:51.004 have to produce and the complexity of it. 32:51.296 --> 32:55.129 And then what was the 32:55.675 --> 32:59.773 fourth one? Something. I forgot. 33:01.540 --> 33:04.794 But those are like the main things I'm thinking about 33:05.413 --> 33:06.440 before I say yes to something. 33:13.057 --> 33:16.586 Yep, Payday's on FL. Oh, those brownies been 33:16.682 --> 33:20.098 gone, bro. Those brownies were gone the following day. 33:21.517 --> 33:23.981 Not by me though. Like, I didn't, I didn't eat all the brownies, okay? 33:24.367 --> 33:27.941 I don't want y'all judging me. I felt that through the lens. 33:28.215 --> 33:31.016 That was like, he ate all those brownies. No, I did not eat all the 33:31.032 --> 33:34.786 brownies. The kids ate all the brownies. I had a— I had, 33:34.964 --> 33:38.876 okay, I had 2. I had one the next morning. That was it. All right, 33:38.957 --> 33:43.076 so I had the one brownie that night, had another one the following morning, 33:44.308 --> 33:48.134 and then that was it. That's all I had. But, 33:48.232 --> 33:49.717 uh, they were good though. 33:55.435 --> 33:58.929 Um, says, bro, for real, I marked out the hit points for the whole thing, 33:58.961 --> 34:02.311 but it ended up being the outro— the intro and outro and 5 34:02.343 --> 34:03.567 transitions to the next scene. 34:05.959 --> 34:08.686 Um, yeah, Jason, Jason doesn't play keys, man. 34:09.792 --> 34:11.971 He doesn't do it. Um, 34:13.546 --> 34:15.543 but yeah, definitely a good question. 34:20.760 --> 34:23.927 Recap: budget, deadline, likelihood of getting— oh yeah, that's what 34:24.427 --> 34:27.524 it was— likelihood of getting placed, effort, time to create the piece. Less time, 34:27.803 --> 34:31.558 start with the easy one. Yep, exactly. Thank you. Because I forgot what 34:32.058 --> 34:35.900 the other one was, like likelihood of placement. Um, because like 34:35.964 --> 34:39.438 if it's just, you know, yeah, you get 34:39.938 --> 34:43.765 it, you get it. I know what 34:44.008 --> 34:47.344 I want to do with the trailerized cover, but there's so many ways to, 34:47.830 --> 34:50.790 to go when you can use an original stem. Yeah, 34:50.806 --> 34:54.011 exactly, bro. Like that, it just 34:54.091 --> 34:57.873 opens up a whole nother part of my brain in 34:57.907 --> 35:01.082 terms of creativity. Um, 35:01.582 --> 35:05.386 because I'm like, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about effects, 35:05.467 --> 35:09.088 I'm thinking about what part of the vocal I want to bring 35:09.186 --> 35:11.752 in. Like, it's, it's just, 35:12.191 --> 35:16.105 it's, yeah, it's a whole thing. It's a whole thing. It's like 35:16.605 --> 35:19.834 creating, uh, I used to, when I used to do 35:19.963 --> 35:23.503 like the remixes a lot and would just kind of remix 35:24.003 --> 35:27.382 songs and do my own production behind them. 35:28.376 --> 35:31.743 It, this just literally, it's like you kind 35:32.243 --> 35:35.734 of gotta, like I learned, I learned the chords, 35:35.830 --> 35:39.453 like I kind of learned the song first. And then 35:39.517 --> 35:43.124 once I learn it, I know what I can do and where I can go 35:43.220 --> 35:46.266 with it. But it's hard for me to do that if I don't know the 35:46.766 --> 35:51.564 song. So it's like, it's like, rehearsal and 35:52.064 --> 35:55.816 production combined into one when working with 35:55.832 --> 35:59.235 covers. For me, it's like, it's a whole thing. 36:01.460 --> 36:05.421 Do you guys use templates for certain type of tracks to 36:05.437 --> 36:09.689 help streamline your process? That is a definite 36:09.802 --> 36:10.497 yes for me, 36:13.893 --> 36:18.016 100%. I need to start creating these templates on this MPC because I have I 36:18.048 --> 36:22.383 have none. I've just been starting from scratch every 36:22.415 --> 36:24.478 time, but I don't know, it's kind of fun, 36:26.665 --> 36:28.101 but I could be saving a lot of time. 36:31.518 --> 36:35.001 Um, but yeah, I have the shout out to Flares. If you're in the 36:35.501 --> 36:38.802 community, um, you guys have probably seen, uh, 36:39.189 --> 36:42.664 Flares trailer, uh, trailer music boost pack. 36:43.085 --> 36:46.807 It's also on clintproductions.com. Or you 36:47.307 --> 36:49.646 can, you can purchase it. It's like a Logic Pro template and it's a whole 36:49.775 --> 36:54.492 guide, but that helped me create a trailer template. 36:54.572 --> 36:58.005 It is a trailer template and I kind of like created mine 36:58.438 --> 37:02.433 based off of that because yeah, 37:02.449 --> 37:05.851 like around the time he dropped that, I had just started kind of working on 37:05.899 --> 37:09.653 trailers. So was kind of getting used to the whole 3-act 37:10.153 --> 37:13.680 structure thing. So that really helped me a lot 37:14.180 --> 37:17.418 'cause I kind of knew about where I needed to be with like each 37:18.349 --> 37:22.103 section and things like that and what each section needed to 37:22.603 --> 37:25.761 do. So definitely recommend that if you haven't grabbed that 37:25.938 --> 37:29.483 and you're interested in doing trailer music, you can get 37:29.983 --> 37:32.981 that template at clintproductions.com. 37:39.345 --> 37:42.759 Let's go, Janelle made some brownies for the 37:42.807 --> 37:46.720 wife. Let's go, shout out to brownies, 37:46.817 --> 37:48.963 man. I'm sure she enjoyed them too. 37:53.050 --> 37:55.826 Sure, blame the people that aren't here to confirm. 38:00.874 -->

38:04.682 Um, uh, one other thing. Oh, to confirm, what was it about 38:05.182 --> 38:07.673 the brownies? I'm telling you, man, I only ate, I only had 2. 38:10.972 --> 38:14.588 Um, one other thing to consider. What shows do 38:14.604 --> 38:17.700 they have relationships with? Network equal more money versus streaming. 38:17.829 --> 38:20.780 Yes. Facts. That is true. 38:26.476 --> 38:29.306 Yeah. It, you know what? Yeah, it is. 38:32.083 --> 38:36.154 Janelle, Janelle made the brownies for 38:36.654 --> 38:39.949 her wife and then proceeded to eat most of them. 38:42.340 --> 38:44.726 Oh man, that's hilarious. 38:50.096 --> 38:53.406 Trey Mo says, Janelle, can you send some brownies to the cousin in Vegas? 38:54.700 --> 38:57.995 Janelle, okay, so Dinner's on, dinner's on 38:58.173 --> 39:01.406 Allison and Janelle gotta make another batch of 39:01.906 --> 39:05.222 brownies. Because number one, she ate the 39:05.722 --> 39:08.735 first, most of the first batch. And then number two, now everybody wants brownies. 39:12.388 --> 39:15.977 So let's go bring those brownies. 39:21.038 --> 39:24.792 Um, so yeah, man, templates and, uh, prioritization. That's huge, 39:24.872 --> 39:28.468 man, because you like, Man, you want to hit everything 39:29.207 --> 39:32.485 because the, the tricky part is, 39:32.999 --> 39:36.630 I mean, you'll get multiple briefs and you literally could do them all. 39:36.678 --> 39:40.069 Like you have the ability to produce all the 39:40.569 --> 39:43.668 stuff that they're asking. And then if you don't, 39:44.263 --> 39:47.460 if you don't cut it down, like you'll just get overwhelmed and then you'll end 39:47.960 --> 39:51.477 up doing none. So it's just like, then you just gotta, gotta kind of pick 39:51.977 --> 39:55.193 and choose and just You know, just focus on like, you know, 39:56.067 --> 39:59.515 one or two and 40:00.015 --> 40:03.882 then knock them out from there. And, and then just know 40:04.156 --> 40:07.644 and be okay with the fact that you can't hit everything. 40:08.576 --> 40:09.589 That's just the reality. 40:13.623 --> 40:17.111 Yep, we'll get this one, won't get this one. I have to circle back 40:17.611 --> 40:21.411 around. Next, next year, next season, next opportunity, 40:21.766 --> 40:22.106 whatever. 40:25.952 --> 40:27.707 Oh man, listen, 40:29.525 --> 40:33.419 somebody brought, somebody brought some cupcakes in one of my college classes. 40:34.617 --> 40:36.572 But see, I don't know, I'm real picky, man. 40:39.409 --> 40:42.887 Um, I'm real picky because I didn't really like— I didn't know 40:42.904 --> 40:45.621 this person. And she would always, 40:47.014 --> 40:50.676 um, I think she had a lot of cats. 40:51.568 --> 40:55.376 And that's so— that's the thing for me, just I think of cat hair when 40:55.698 --> 40:59.210 someone has a lot of cats. And then I just think of that 40:59.710 --> 41:03.789 cat hair just being casually just on the counter and on 41:03.966 --> 41:07.436 everything.

Because I mean, pet hair just, it gets over 41:07.936 --> 41:12.037 everything. Like even working in IT, man, I've, I had to do work in Uh, 41:12.647 --> 41:16.436 people's houses where they, they just had a 41:16.501 --> 41:20.402 lot of pet hair. And when you open up the computer, it confirms 41:20.499 --> 41:23.758 that they have a lot of pets. Um, then you gotta— 41:23.951 --> 41:26.552 oh man, it's just a lot of hair to deal with. 41:27.098 --> 41:29.812 So then I think of that and I think of the food and I think 41:30.312 --> 41:34.259 of eating the food and then somehow having cat hair when 41:34.307 --> 41:37.052 I take a bite. And then I'm just, I'm just like No, 41:37.133 --> 41:39.842 thank you. 41:40.580 --> 41:44.428 Um, but I don't really, I just don't, I don't really know you like that. 41:44.589 --> 41:48.854 I gotta, I get to know you a little more before 41:49.078 --> 41:52.333 I just partake. And, um, so, 41:52.430 --> 41:55.171 and, and then I'm, and I'm real big on packaging. Like, 41:56.358 --> 41:59.421 how did you, how did you present this? Right? 41:59.902 --> 42:03.734 Like, is it, is it a, is it a brownie? Is it a 42:04.234 --> 42:08.131 muffin? That you didn't even put the, the little 42:08.147 --> 42:12.288 muffin paper underneath it and it just came raw out the— 42:12.641 --> 42:15.722 raw out the, the muffin pan. I don't 42:16.222 --> 42:19.783 know about that. I don't know. Like, that's cool when you at home 42:20.283 --> 42:23.747 and, you know, and you whatever, cornbread. Like, 42:23.796 --> 42:28.049 I can see that, but for certain things, it's just got to be presented 42:28.549 --> 42:31.768 right. What does the frosting look like on top? Does it look like it was 42:31.800 --> 42:33.985 just hand spread or was it, 42:35.022 --> 42:39.504 you know, was it properly placed 42:40.280 --> 42:44.776 on top of the cupcake with the right tool? 42:45.132 --> 42:49.503 Like, I don't know. It's just, it has to look delicious. 42:49.699 --> 42:53.360 It has to, it has to look clean. There's just a lot 42:53.860 --> 42:59.997 of criteria I have before I Appetite 43:00.013 --> 43:03.241 diminished. And then the person, like, 43:04.027 --> 43:07.624 you gotta look at the person. Does the person— do— is the person 43:07.720 --> 43:09.872 clean? Because if the person is dirty, 43:10.691 --> 43:13.822 right, you know, fingernails, I look at the fingernails. Well, 43:13.902 --> 43:18.221 oh, one huge pet peeve is going 43:18.254 --> 43:22.557 to a restaurant or whatever, picking up drive-through, 43:22.669 --> 43:26.583 whatever, Somebody hands you the cup and 43:27.083 --> 43:31.146 it's just earth within the fingernails, 43:31.825 --> 43:33.182 just visible. 43:34.491 --> 43:38.029 Just that, here, you can, you know 43:38.529 --> 43:42.287 what? Treat yourself to that drink. You can have that 'cause 43:42.787 --> 43:46.425 your hand was on top of the part where I put the straw 43:46.714 --> 43:49.387 in. I look at all that, man. 43:50.884 --> 43:54.148 You gotta, you can't just be giving people 43:54.244 --> 43:58.006 food and your fingernails are dirty. You gotta clean your fingernails, 43:58.103 --> 43:58.328 man. 44:02.387 --> 44:06.160 So yeah, man, it's just, Janelle says, I'm picky like that. 44:06.224 --> 44:09.610 Presentation's everything to me. Not everyone is as clean as though it's a fact. 44:09.916 --> 44:12.414 They're just not. And that's fine. 44:14.080 --> 44:17.349 I just, you know, I'll just, uh, 44:19.023 --> 44:22.163 I'll just opt out. Just opt out. 44:23.258 --> 44:26.822 Naked muffins, man. I'm telling you, it's a 44:27.322 --> 44:30.761 thing. We got KJ. Let's bring KJ up. Um, 44:31.261 --> 44:34.850 yo, what's up, bro? What's up? 44:35.109 --> 44:38.824 Happy Friday, man. Indeed, happy Friday. I'm gonna try this 44:39.324 --> 44:43.073 again and get online with you. Last week I was on there 44:43.573 --> 44:45.260 3 times. I was like, can you see me? I'm trying to ask you a 44:45.760 --> 44:48.960 question. So look, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, 44:49.460 --> 44:52.660 I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask you, even though we chat a little bit, I want 44:53.160 --> 44:57.020 to do a follow-up on that. So my question for the, like, the hub is 44:57.520 --> 44:59.140 one of the things you can see when you're gonna have to look at some 44:59.640 --> 45:04.040 of the libraries that you're trying to pitch music to is the— 45:04.540 --> 45:07.940 you'll have your track that you may submit to a library, but I asked Clint, 45:08.440 --> 45:13.507 what about when he's talked about alternates. So hypothetically, 45:13.925 --> 45:16.751 you give them the one track, and then should I send them a bass and 45:17.251 --> 45:21.232 drum, and should I also send them a no melody version with it? So if 45:21.732 --> 45:24.701 I send them an EP, which is 5, maybe 5 songs on the album, 45:24.765 --> 45:28.603 should I send them 2 additional alts for each 5, each of the 5 songs, 45:29.743 --> 45:32.409 hoping that maybe when they hear one of the alts, they may be, oh, 45:32.570 --> 45:36.103 this may fit, this version may fit more than the whole 45:36.603 --> 45:39.697 song, right? They get a chance to hear that before We, you know, before they 45:40.197 --> 45:43.512 actually, you know, have to reach back out to me for that. So that was 45:43.560 --> 45:46.573 my question. Yeah. Can you talk about that a little bit? 45:47.150 --> 45:50.018 Yeah, great question. So this is, 45:50.916 --> 45:54.137 this is how I approach it. So I always say like, 45:55.499 --> 45:59.714 don't create like all of the stems because it 45:59.746 --> 46:03.272 varies publisher to publisher what they want and how 46:03.772 --> 46:07.166 they want deliverables sent and which stems they want, if they even 46:07.182 --> 46:10.726 want stems. Some publishers create their own versions and things like 46:11.226 --> 46:14.177 that and cutdowns and things like that. So to save time, 46:14.703 --> 46:18.142 I

always say definitely have the main version, have the, 46:18.576 --> 46:22.203 the instrumental, and then, you know, maybe a drum and 46:22.703 --> 46:26.120 bass. Like, those are kind of like the base, the basic versions that everybody's gonna 46:26.201 --> 46:29.523 ask for. But I do think 46:30.023 --> 46:33.472 it's a good idea, even if you don't create like a full 46:33.681 --> 46:38.473 extensive list of like 15, 30, 60 Right. 46:38.634 --> 46:41.820 Like Tune Edge give you. Yeah. So Tune Edge is 46:41.853 --> 46:45.522 easy. Yeah, it's a few. It was like 6, 7 versions 46:45.554 --> 46:49.751 or something like that. But I think it's a good idea to have 46:50.395 --> 46:52.150 at least a few main, 46:53.872 --> 46:57.464 maybe drum and bass. If it's a full song 46:57.561 --> 47:01.580 instrumental, obviously. Maybe a version 47:01.612 --> 47:04.974 with no melody. And the reason why I think it's a good 47:05.474 --> 47:09.609 idea to at least submit those, even if you don't know what the deliverables look 47:10.109 --> 47:13.618 like, is because it shows them that 47:14.195 --> 47:17.723 you're intentional and you're like sync-focused. 47:17.803 --> 47:21.572 Because like a regular producer who's 47:21.652 --> 47:24.780 just, you know, only thing they're doing is just producing for artists, 47:25.180 --> 47:29.350 they're not gonna think to create just a drum and bass or just a 47:29.992 --> 47:33.653 an underscore version with no main melody. They're not thinking that 47:33.750 --> 47:37.026 way. So I think when a company sees that, 47:37.219 --> 47:40.511 they see intention and then they see, okay, this person gets it. 47:40.977 --> 47:44.911 And I think it'll work to your advantage because it'll just make you look professional, 47:44.927 --> 47:49.022 intentional. And then, you know, they'll ask you if they want specific 47:49.522 --> 47:53.423 types from there, but I think it can only make you look good in my 47:53.923 --> 47:57.117 opinion. I was just worried about like basically, cause if you're using your Disco 47:57.133 --> 48:00.666 link, right. And you send them your Disco link. And basically when they open it 48:01.166 --> 48:03.957 up, if you just send the 5-song MP, uh, uh, 48:04.262 --> 48:07.490 EP, then you got 15 different tracks there, right? 48:08.116 --> 48:12.130 Um, so I like— oh, like if you're reaching out to a supervisor 48:12.630 --> 48:15.341 for the first time, that could be overwhelming. They're like, God, this dude sent me 48:15.357 --> 48:19.147 a whole bunch of stuff. Yeah, right, you know. So I'm, I'm leery 48:19.195 --> 48:21.925 about that part of it because that's where I am with— I'm like, oh, 48:22.005 --> 48:25.329 I'm pitching, but I'm like, man, should I send some alternates? Because these 48:25.538 --> 48:29.282 alternates could hit too, right? Um, that's a good 48:29.782 --> 48:32.270 point. So it kind of— it's, it's kind of like a weird spot, and I'm 48:32.303 --> 48:36.159 just like, man, let me ask about that because that 48:36.659 --> 48:39.935 could put you in a real— I don't want to overwhelm them, you know? 48:40.658 --> 48:43.920 Yeah, so I'll tell you how to do that. 48:44.049 --> 48:48.211 I'll show you how to do that without 48:49.078 --> 48:52.969 it looking overwhelming. Um, okay, let me see, 48:53.083 --> 48:55.282 let me see if I can find an example real quick. 48:56.316 --> 49:00.197 Um, I got this from like, I went 49:00.697 --> 49:02.667 out to look at one of your drum— the drumming cues I think you did 49:02.716 --> 49:06.169 for, um, Warner Chapel. Okay, 49:06.572 --> 49:08.847 or one of them. And I was looking at how you laid it out and 49:09.347 --> 49:11.615 you had your alts there. I was like, that's what kind of triggered that because 49:11.664 --> 49:14.106 I was like, well, if I'm going to pitch to some of these libraries out 49:14.606 --> 49:17.946 here, let's see what they're doing out here, you know. And I was like, 49:17.962 --> 49:20.774 man, some of them have 5 or 6 different ales. So I'm like, I don't 49:20.790 --> 49:24.226 want to send 5 or 6 different ales per track. Yeah, that would 49:24.726 --> 49:28.583 be overwhelming for a supervisor, you know, uh, even if I'm using the Disco link, 49:28.647 --> 49:30.351 right? So, um, 49:32.517 --> 49:36.016 yeah, so, okay, so let 49:45.314 --> 49:49.202 Oh, I'll keep that open. So when you— I'm 49:53.990 --> 49:57.799 trying to figure out the best way to show. So when you create, when you 49:58.299 --> 50:01.892 create your playlist in, in Disco, um, 50:04.717 --> 50:08.363 if you when 50:08.427 --> 50:12.581 you go into the, like, the different tracks, um, and then you basically 50:12.918 --> 50:15.404 add versions to the main track. 50:16.558 --> 50:17.841 Okay, it'll, it'll, uh, 50:18.386 --> 50:21.690 it'll— what's the word? Ah, so it'll, 50:21.770 --> 50:25.042 it'll give you a— I haven't seen that version before because I've only done like 50:25.542 --> 50:28.474 where it's the straight, it's the 5 songs. So there's an opportunity for, uh, 50:28.490 --> 50:32.451 alts to be within that track, like a dropdown like you would on the actual 50:32.643 --> 50:35.993 library site. Exactly. Like when you go to the 50:36.493 --> 50:38.248 track, you want to manage nesting. 50:39.830 --> 50:42.967 Got you. So then you go to nesting and then here, 50:43.921 --> 50:47.042 since, since we're on that main track right here, that's where 50:47.542 --> 50:50.775 you want to go to manage nesting and then add existing track. 50:51.018 --> 50:53.990 You can search by like track name. 50:55.530 --> 50:58.957 Shout out to Travis. We're using one of the songs we did, some songs we 50:59.457 --> 51:02.680 did together. Um, and then here you can select 51:03.180 --> 51:06.450 your instrumental, your a cappella, and then it's gonna cascade it 51:06.514 --> 51:10.380 or whatever underneath this main track. So when you share that 51:10.880 --> 51:14.230 playlist, it's only— it's still gonna show as just one track, 51:15.113 --> 51:17.760 but then they'll see this visible. Okay, 51:18.081 --> 51:21.498 boom. And then you got the version, so it's not gonna be as overwhelming 51:21.546 --> 51:25.508 as just having like 6, you know, things listed 51:25.524 --> 51:28.810 here. Um, so it's just like the libraries. When you go to 51:29.310 --> 51:32.050 the libraries, you'll see the number off to the side. It'll be set up the 51:32.550 --> 51:36.770 same exact way as the libraries. Yep, exactly. Yep. Oh, that's cool. 51:37.270 --> 51:39.520 All right, thanks. So did you keep the nesting as part of your template? 51:39.750 --> 51:41.670 You just kept it as a part of your template in there where you kept 51:42.170 --> 51:45.450 it checked as nesting? It just, uh, that— it's just how 51:45.950 --> 51:49.270 Disco set up. It's just set up to if you select nesting, 51:49.350 --> 51:53.045 um, yeah. Manage and then Nesting, 51:53.559 --> 51:56.738 it's just going to automatically nest it underneath that and then 51:56.770 --> 51:59.709 you'll, you'll be good to go. And then it has, uh, so it has versions 51:59.805 --> 52:03.193 and it has stems. So, okay, you know, you could do it that way 52:03.693 --> 52:06.645 too if you wanted to. Um, but you able to leave it like that where 52:07.145 --> 52:09.134 you can select nesting? Did you leave it like that or you have to pick 52:09.634 --> 52:12.891 it every time you do an EP? Um, oh yeah, I do 52:13.391 --> 52:16.279 have to. Yeah, you do have to go in there, um, every time and then 52:16.779 --> 52:20.021 just kind of add those tracks per, per new playlist or whatever. 52:20.589 --> 52:24.173 Okay. Yeah. All right, cool. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. 52:24.600 --> 52:25.930 No problem. All right. 52:28.934 --> 52:30.487 Yeah, that was a, that was a great question. 52:36.620 --> 52:40.452 Um, I'm special, man. I'm telling you. 52:41.470 --> 52:44.405 Um, I have a cat and that brother know I don't play about my kitchen. 52:44.503 --> 52:47.752 I grill a lot, actually on the grill right now. And he will go, 52:48.250 --> 52:50.804 uh, sequester himself upstairs. 52:51.703 --> 52:55.622 Yeah, man. Um, yeah, dude, I had— I dealt 52:55.638 --> 52:59.348 with people's cats, man, where they just— cats and dogs. Um, 52:59.428 --> 53:02.480 cats I kind of understand, like they're just kind of— they're more independent. 53:02.785 --> 53:06.527 Um, dogs, like, man, dude, do y'all— people gotta train 53:06.639 --> 53:10.012 their dogs. Um, but yeah, 53:10.735 --> 53:13.529 uh, Allison with a clue, main instrumental. Um, that's good. 53:14.378 --> 53:18.395 Trey is not, doesn't look like he's excited that KJ 53:18.895 --> 53:22.090 was a Chiefs fan. With Disco you can, yeah, 53:22.187 --> 53:22.508 boom. 53:25.594 --> 53:29.471 Yep. So yeah, so that, I love that about Disco 'cause 53:29.971 --> 53:33.963 it keeps everything clean and like under one 53:34.094 --> 53:34.306 thing.
