Last week a new musician asked a great question. When uploading (or searching for) tracks on www.MusicRevolution.com, you’ve no doubt noticed the “Applications” category. Each of our 45,000+ tracks has been tagged with some kind of “Application”. Yet we’ve never actually provided any examples of those applications. Allow me to remedy that.
“Applications” are different contexts, or situations, in which you feel your track could be used. Here’s the general breakdown of what we had in mind:
“Broadcast” – Part of a TV commercial or TV show.
“Programming” – A live event such as a sports game or an awards ceremony.
“Internet” – Background music for a website or YouTube video.
“On Hold” – On hold music while you’re waiting for customer service to pick up.
“Presentation” – Background music for a corporate video or live presentation where someone is explain
Of course this is all very subjective – and ultimately up to the MusicRevolution.com customer. Context is everything.
Hopefully this clears things up. Keep the questions coming, dear reader.
