@taxiindependentaandr: Stop killing your chances of landing a music placement with long, boring intros. TV and film editors work at breakneck speed and won’t wait around for your track to get good. Instead of a slow build-up, start with a quick drum fill or a catchy guitar lick to grab their attention immediately. If you want to succeed in the sync world, forget the fluff and get right to the point! Do you agree with cutting the intro, or do you think the build-up is necessary? #MusicProduction #SyncLicensing #MusicTips #Songwriting #MusicStudio
Crap advice, my intro of a song that I produced got used on a Film , George Clooney directed it, Taxi placed it 😅

Nowadays, with social media attention spans, even music needs to adapt. Get right to the hook and chorus quickly when sharing your music content, or it will get skipped.

Also, if you want your track using, consider that what will probably end up on TV is the first 30-60 seconds. Because of this, you need an ending that relates to this section of the track, not 3 minutes down the line when it's developed & other instruments are added which sounds completely different.
If I can't end it properly, I'm not using it!

Yep, give them the hook, not an intro.

I know right? I tell songwriters the same thing - I hear so many songs with an 8 bar intro that is really 4 bars played twice with a little different riff variation on the second set of 5 bars. Totally boring. Nile Rodgers - who the NY Times called the greatest living songwriter told me that every one of his hits started with the chorus! That is the first thing someone hears!
