SLS,
When will your site be online so customers can check it out? There have been others on this board, as well as other boards, who build up excitement about their own original music, but then don't deliver. So I think there is some natural skepticism here.
I've had good luck with www.shockwave-sound.com and www.adultindustrymusic.com, plus that other site that Basschick uses (can't think of the name right now), but it would be great to have more to choose from.
I have twelve "volumes" and the mp3's are a high bitrate for excellent sound quality, and I'm on dialup. So i'm doing a lot of toe tapping during uploading. I'm NOT flaking out though, I eat sleep and breath this stuff. I hate that I keep being way off on my launch date, but I'm going to try it again and say it will be launched within the next day or two.Quote:

Do you think producer are insterested in that, or do they really just want the synth-demoish stuff?
I feel like I've already built this up too much for myself, but really if only one producer uses some of my music in his productions, I'll be happy.
Anyway, just know I'm not passively building it up and being full of shit, I'm driving myself nuts working on it and thinking about it too much. I still have the feeling when I launch people will go "all that for this?" and that keeps sending me back to the drawing board. I'm such a pussy compared to how I used to be, I need to remember I have balls and just go with what I know.
For one, I'm excited to see what you'll have to offer. Everyone has their own preferences, of course... personally I prefer rhythmic underscore selections (downplay the melody) for my videos... but there's a use for everything, right? There's a huge demand for music on the video production side of the business. Custom compositions are great too. And you don't have to feel like you're competing with Shockwave, etc. because the pricing isn't what we're focused on. There's a great sound studio out in SoCal that produces killer tracks for porn. Unfortunately their prices are sky-high ($900 for a CD) but if it's good stuff, then people will pay a decent price.
