Thats fantastic to hear! - What TV show projects did you work on that you used Band-in-a-Box on?


It's been a while now but, yeah, I got a few tunes that were composed and created in BB/RB placed into some TV shows and made for TV documentary films. The music used some or all of the tracks that were created in BB/RB.

A few "reality TV shows" including Hollywood Hillbillies and Beverly Hills Pawn used some of my cues in several episodes each. I'd have to pull the BMI statement up, but I think both shows used my cues in 2 or 3 different episodes, and multiple times in each episode.

And a series of made for TV documentary films from the series... Ten things you didn't know about_____. with placements in the TTYDKA Civil Rights and TTYDKA Texas episodes.

Approximately 70 individual cues were used between those shows and movies..... varying from 5 second cues to several that were over a minute each.

The thing is, no one bothers to call or email that your music is being used. I guess they're just too busy. So, the way you find out, unless you happen to be watching the show when it airs.... is to wait 9 months or so later when the PRO statement and check show up in the mail.

When they become available on Netflix, maybe then I can hear how they used the music I wrote.



I remember the TTYDKA series! - That is excellent, its so refreshing to hear the software being used for commercial projects!

Were you using an Audiophile edition of Band-in-a-Box? We have the option available for studios and productions that demand the high quality uncompressed files for projects. Seen here: http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.audiophile.htm
