So Insiders! What did you think of our conversation with Beth? A lot of things to consider. Let us know in the comments below. MUBUTV

[@cjdevries]

Takeaways: 1) make sure music is broadcast quality 2) have .wav files for both full track (w/ vocals) and instrumental track + instrumental mp3 3) get to know music on a particular show if you want to pitch music to that show. 4) make sure your music is in the same ballpark as the music they need; not a copy of a particular artist or genre, but something that is in the same vein/realm.

[@MUBUTV]

Hey there CJ! Thanks for sharing these valuable takeaways. It's super important to have broadcast-quality music and to be prepared with .wav files for both full tracks and instrumentals, as well as instrumental mp3s. Getting to know the music on a specific show before pitching is definitely key, and making sure your music fits the vibe they need without copying anyone is great advice. Keep up the awesome work!

What if a film company is looking for a great song and they find one that is not ready to go. Because great songs are not common.
