Thanks for those suggestions tacoMusic, both look useful to me. We’ll take a look, I’ll keep you posted on any updates here.

Hi Ben,

Any news on this? I’m keen on embedding my tracks in more places to get more traffic, but the two issues above are important features for embedding this player elsewhere.

Thanks,

Taco

Yep, pretty sure they can

Hi EFEKT_Studio,

I can see you’re already inundated with suggestions, but here’s a few I think might fit your needs. They’re more electronic than soundroll’s track, but they have the energy I think you’re looking for:

• http://audiojungle.net/item/glitched-out/3693890
• http://audiojungle.net/item/electric-skiing/3693793
• http://audiojungle.net/item/action-man-blockbuster-theme/1738253
• http://audiojungle.net/item/the-rush/1259795 (this one is a bit hectic, be warned!)

Good luck with your project!

Taco

Hi Tobi,

Have a look through these: http://audiojungle.net/user/tacoMusic/bookmarks

Or my best sellers: http://audiojungle.net/collections/1803649-bestsellers

And of course my logo track here: http://videohive.net/item/the-most-epic-digital-distortion/3790502

And let me know if anything catches your eye.

Thanks,

Taco

I agree more with LIam. This site is for more small companies and projects, they look for fast and cheap way to get music for their projects, that’s why they buy from here.

I know another places and sites ask their buyers to fill forms, but there are another category of buyers.

Really soundroll? If you were earning less from this site, I think you might feel differently. I still don’t see how anyone loses out from this – including the smaller businesses. If it’s going on TV, cinema or elsewhere where a broadcaster pays royalties like radio, then there is NO impact to the customer. It sounds like most people wouldn’t even need to fill in a cue sheet if they’re using it on a YT video – do you need to fill out a cue sheet for YouTube usage?

Tim – sorry mate, we’ve totally hijacked your thread. I’ll leave my comments at that and hopefully we can focus on the original post topic.

this site is royalty free stock audio, keep it as simple as possible for buyers and don’t confuse them with licensing and cue sheets because you won’t make any money from royalties anyway so there is no point.

I disagree, and you should too if you’re trying to make a living out of music as a composer as this is, and has been for a while, an important source of income for composers – especially when you’re making the small amounts you do on RF sites.

Making the life of someone who fills out a cue sheet (probably regularly if they’re a business who frequently licenses tracks) easier can be made easier by the library, like automatic filling-in or the like.

And yes, it’s not possible to register tracks here that are PRO registered, but that’s the point, it’s something that should be changed according to a lot of composers (including myself) here. All this is said with respect Liam, just to make that clear.

Liam – people who buy these tracks don’t pay the royalties, it’s the broadcasters. There are plenty of ‘royalty free’ (as in pay for the licence once, use the track in your production forever) libraries that exist that let you collect royalties from your PRO. If it’s communicated well by Envato, there’s no reason it would put off customers.

MuscoSound – you beat me to it!

+1 and a massive bump. In fact, a shrieking, banshee-like tribal bump that is so powerful and epic that it will hopefully get someone to update AJ’s policy on this oh so important topic.

Fingers crossed.

I agree with Sky and think there are numerous benefits to doing so that outweigh not doing so:

• After a while, you will have learned what does and does not work. Most likely, your earlier attempts won’t be up to the standard you’re writing now
• As Sky mentioned, first impressions DO last. I want my customers to see the tracks that sell well first, not a bunch of 0 sales
• Trimming tracks distils your portfolio down to your best work and helps clients find your strongest, or most commercial, work quicker.
• A track that track sells well already is more attractive to collaborators such as VideoHive Authours as it has already shown potential in the marketplace
• Like any marketplace, products that don’t sell are removed after a while and that looks more professional in my opinion, especially if new material is being uploaded
• Customers can always buy directly from you if they want it after you’ve removed it (meta-tag up those mp3s folks)
• You’ll make more friends, be more beautiful and popular

I’ll be trimming some of my tracks soon as I feel I’m tuning into the market needs more.

I had a different experience and it helped my sales quite a bit being featured, but in general it does seem like the featured file spot has more advantages in terms of exposure. Featured files are also higher up the page, which ticks the box for the ‘above the fold’ concept, although I don’t think that applies as strictly for websites as it does for newspapers.
