Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ACIYiXtdxkw We're excited to have TAXI TV favorite and A&R Team Member Brooke Ferri back on this week's TAXI TV!

If you're new to TAXI or new to the music licensing game, this will be a must-watch! For the remaining hour of the show, we're going to play a fun new game inspired by last week's guest, Henry Winckel: "Can You Outguess the Screener?" You'll be able to submit a Film/TV-related Song or Instrumental on our Facebook page that has been "returned" by a TAXI A&R Team Member; we'll play it live on the show and then the audience and Brooke will try to figure out why the song was not forwarded by the screener. ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Connect With Us On...

"Things I Learned at the Road Rally" with Henry Winckel Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/V2PXHncEj2U We were unable to broadcast this episode last week because of an unforeseen emergency. We've postponed it to this week. Nothing gets us more excited than watching TAXI members progress and flourish. One of those members is Henry Winckel. He’s been a guest on TAXI TV before, and he was great! What makes Henry so cool is that he’s a great observer. He notices everything, absorbs what he sees and hears, and puts it to good use. You’ve heard the timeworn phrase, “He’s got a mind like a steel trap,” no doubt. I think it was coined in Henry’s honor! I spoke to Henry a few days after the Road Rally and was astonished at how many golden nuggets he retained! Frankly, I think Henry knows more about what happened at the Rally than I do, and I was in the driver’s seat! I’m seriously envious of his capacity to remember details exactly like they happened. I’ve asked Henry to join us on the show again so you can benefit from what he saw, learned and will faithfully regurgitate for your benefit. If you didn’t make it to the Rally, this might be the next best thing. If you were there, but couldn’t be in two places at once, maybe Henry was in one of those places and can share what you missed! ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Connect With Us On...

Building Tracks with Six-Figure Member & Road Rally FAQs Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/sGbBIyQvxrQ Chuck Henry is one of the most successful TAXI members of all time. He's cracked the code when it comes to doing mostly Instrumentals for TV and Film, and licensing them like crazy! Chuck will be joining us live in the TAXI TV studio on Monday so he can show us how to build Future Bass and Trap-Tension Cues from scratch! Chuck is going to step us through the process, then add all the other instruments to build Cues. If you’re a singer/songwriter type and building beats is a little intimidating, this episode of TAXI TV could be super helpful in transitioning you into a couple of the most in-demand styles requested by Music Supervisors and Music Libraries alike! I'm also going to be joined by TAXI TV Producer and Road Rally veteran Briagha McTavish at the end of the show to walk you through some of the frequently asked questions we've been getting from members and their guests about this year's TAXI Road Rally! Don't miss this part of the show if it's your very first Rally. ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Connect With Us On...

The final installment will be out in a couple of days! As luck would have it, Randon is in Los Angeles this week, and is able to join us for a special episode of TAXI TV today at 4/7 pm.

I’m really excited to get Randon in this live setting so you can hear what his common sense, but often overlooked “secrets” to success are.

Getting the Most from Orchestral Sample & Virtual Instrument Libraries Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7TEgi68uSPM At last year’s Road Rally (TAXI’s free convention), I played an exciting orchestral cue titled “Across the Valley” by member, Martin Tichy. I love that piece, and the audience in the grand ballroom quickly understood why! As I got to know Martin better, it was pretty easy to understand why his music was so good -- in particular his orchestral work. You see, his grandfather was a violin teacher, and they lived in Austria, a country revered for its classical musicians and composers. At some point, Martin became a drummer, playing in rock and country bands. His grandfather must have loved that, lol! He returned to playing violin seven years later. He also studied business and economics while in college. Martin’s pedigree served him well as worked for Warner Music and EMI, and eventually when he started his own marketing company, which led him to become Vienna Symphonic Library’s Marketing Manager. Martin understands what an orchestra is supposed to sound like, and that my friends is key to creating believable music with sample and virtual instrument libraries! Don’t miss this one-of-kind episode with a man who will get your head pointed in directions you might have never uncovered on your own. We will discuss the “floor plan” of an orchestra, articulations, bowing techniques, and anything else I can think of to get this humble, generous man to teach you things that somebody who is merely interested in how a library sounds “right out of the box” might overlook. We will play you some samples, and maybe even more importantly, I’m going to dedicate a substantial amount of time to viewer questions. ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Connect With Us On...

Music Library Executive Michael Kruk [Song Reviews] Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

Watch This Episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zJ2Gtdl7wGM Music For Income Courses: http://bit.ly/2QCRGFS I’m excited to have a Music Library owner from far, far away join me on Monday for the live broadcast of the big show! He’s very smart, and by virtue of him living on another continent, I’m curious to see if there are any musical or business differences from U.S. music libraries that he can point out. Why am I not disclosing exactly who this guest will be? Because this email goes to thousands of people, and oftentimes, when I put a guest’s name in the promo dozens of people Google the person, and then add them to their email lists and drive them crazy. Our members who watch TAXI TV are usually a little better behaved ;-) ------------------------------------ Learn More About TAXI: http://bit.ly/2mPVGYh Rub Elbows with Music Industry Pros at Our FREE Yearly Convention: http://bit.ly/2a9mwlp View Our Current Music Industry Opportunities: http://bit.ly/28JPUyd Connect with Fellow Songwriters on the TAXI Forum: http://bit.ly/2DENChs Listen on the Go with the TAXI TV Podcast: Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/2afebwW Google Play: http://bit.ly/2a7cCQX Stitcher: http://bit.ly/2FuSTJQ Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2icUDe0 TuneIn: http://bit.ly/2DCzKrd Connect With Us On...
