Hi Everone,
I have about 22 full tracks in the hands of both Pump Audio and APM (through indie911). I need to submit missing documents to complete the contracts but I have to choose one of these libraries. I have heard great things about Pump. They do not require exclusive contract, which means that I can submit the same music to other non-exclusive libraries. However, their contract gives only 35% of licensing fee to the composer. APM, on the other hand gives 75% to the composer, but they require exclusive contract. My concern with that is that I don't want to put all my eggs in APM's basket if there is no guarantee of usage. My music is outstanding, though, and I believe that it will definitely sell.
What should I do? Go ahead with APM or leverage out my music non-exclusively to various libraries including Pump.
Thanks.
