I'm still running Windows 7. That way I know it'll communicate with my other
one with no problems.

Can't wait for my software to arrive. Pretty soon you'll be calling me "Hollywood
Wags."

Did the new computer come with a helmet and safety restraint system?

Since this is the Main Discussion part of the forum, let's talk music and marketing
because I know there is a demand for music for videos. What I don't know is if
the big marketers already have an in house staff for this. Or do they not even
bother with music for the videos?

I've seen a number of royalty free sites and quite honestly, I'm not blown away
by any of them. Most of the available material is so-so at best. I'm thinking that
if I go above and beyond that I can get a piece of the market that is more,
how should I say, premium customers. Don't know. It's unexplored territory and
I'm starting from scratch.

Scary and exciting all at the same time. Like when I first started IM about 10
years ago.

I have come across two people in the UK who work from home producing backing music for TV ads and Drama series. So it is possible. I would think you would need to network and meet these people face to face to get your foot in the door.

Good luck with your new business.

Well, I'm not exactly looking to break into TV. Right now I'd be happy to create
music for marketers who need it for their videos. I know it's specialized but I
think between my marketing background and music background I'm more
qualified than somebody who just knows music and nothing about business.

But, we'll see.

Ah, you're familiar with the EWQL products?

I have the following either coming or already in my possession.

Hollywood Strings Gold
Symphony Orchestra Gold
Symphonic Choirs Play Edition
Goliath
Hollywood Brass Gold
Stormdrum 2
Pianos Gold
Ministry of Rock 2
Solo Violin
Spaces

I also have Cinesamples Cinebrass Core which is also very good.

I'm using Cubase 7 and I'm very happy with it. I've never had this kind of
control and flexibility with my hardware based recording studio.

Looking forward to making some amazing movie scores.

The only thing I'm installing on it is my music programs. Right now, there is
nothing on it. It's clean as a whistle.

Now all I'm waiting for is two items.

1) EWQL Symphonic Orchestra which is coming from California. It's been a week
and a half and nothing. I know mail is slow but sheesh.

2) EWQL CCC2. It's a 7 program package that's so big it gets shipped on a
1 terabyte external hard drive. It's coming from NV by Fed Ex and the due date
is 9/14.

Can't wait to start up my new Royalty Free Music business. I'm chucking "How
To Make Money" IM crap and going into something with a demand that doesn't
promise marketers they'll make a gazillion dollars overnight.

So glad to be out of that business. It sucks.

I see only great times ahead as I strive to be known as "The Composer For
The Gurus."

Congratulations Steve... You deserve it man, I know for a fact with your knowledge you will absolutely "kill it" in that market. Everyone else better watch out!

Again, congrats and don't forget to keep coming by this old place.

Thanks

Congratulations Steve.

Sounds like you are re-inventing yourself and your business. I know you are savvy enough to know what you are getting into. I am sure you will be a success.

If this means you will be sending no more emails, then this is a sad day indeed. I certainly have learned much from you being on your list.

Did you go Windows 7 to windows 7 or did you upgrade form XP to 7.

Were you able to move some of your old programs to your new macine or will you just use it for your music business.

Go upward and onward, Steven. You will continue to do well!

Thanks

Mike, I've been down for so long because of my business tanking that I've
been MIA a lot around here. Just didn't feel up to talking business. But if
this works and I actually make a living doing this, I'm going to come back
here and outline in detail EXACTLY how I did it. Since I won't be selling
anymore "how to make money" products I think it's the least I can do for
all the help I've gotten from other members here who are still successful
today. It's what happens when you build your business out of a house of
cards.

Lesson learned.

Go upward and onward, Steven. You will continue to do well!

I actually have two computers now. One for my everyday stuff (this one)
and one JUST for the music. I have them networked so when I finish a tune
I'll just transfer the file from that PC to this one where I will then do whatever
I need to do with it (upload it online, send to customers, etc.) The other
PC won't have any business related stuff on it. I want to keep it absolutely
clean.

I did have a Windows 2000 PC that I was using just for games. The new
one took the place of it and the 2000 is now going to the basement after
many long years. I just don't have time for games anymore. I'm going back
to working 14 hour days.

But at least this time I'll be doing something I really love. I already have 29
tunes completed for my new business and that's in just about a little over
a week.

This is going to be one hell of a joy ride.

You go, Steve!

Now you're sounding more like the Steve I got to know and admire here at the WF!

You know I'm pulling for you! And after having heard your musical talent, I have no doubt you are going to "rock" the royalty free music business whether it's "rock" or not.

Congrats!

Thanks Terra. I'm confident that I'll do well, no matter how long it takes to
get there. Took me years to get to where I was before so I'm in no hurry.

Whatever it takes.

Congrats on your new PC. I hope that things may go well on your part with some new business ahead of you. Just remember, always take the challenge no matter how difficult it was, and you may soon overcome it in the end. By the way, royalty free music business is also awesome, you can indeed make money with that, as lots of people are looking for some awesome royalty free music for their own projects.

  Okay, I installed all my EWQL stuff and everything else and all I can say is this
  new PC is blisteringly fast. Stuff loads very fast. Even the EWQL patches load
  fairly fast considering how many GIG they are.
  
  Now it's off to make some killer music.
