Major Publishers or Boutique Publishers?

DavidG79 · 1st July 2009

Who would you rather license your production music with? Major music libraries (APM, Extreme Music, etc) or boutique publishers (Global Graffiti, S3 Music). These are my thoughts. What do you think?

MAJOR PUBLISHERS
PROS: Larger market, larger client-base=more business=more money?
CONS: More composers, huge song vault=my music lost in obscurity=lottery?

BOUTIQUE MUSIC HOUSES
Pros: Fewer composers, fewer tracks=more actively shop composers tracks?
Cons: Less client-base=less leverage=less money?
