Thanks all for your input. I must admit I do like building arrangements with this software .
After reading your replies I decided to tour the Taxi site and visit their "Industry Listings".
Publishing companies looking for TV placements suggest and stress good quality home recordings as acceptable demos with good instrumentation and universal lyrics and no uncleared samples. They want ready for air.
There seem to be a lot of publishers looking for material for TV/Film usage. It's the big thing.
Fewer listings asking for individual songs for recording artists.

Personally while I'd like to hire a singer for the some of the songs I write that I have trouble singing myself, lack of funds does stand in the way . . . still looking for an affordable pitch correction software to smooth out the bumps in the road.

Frage - I like your approach - if you plan your production well - for several eventualities - then you're ahead of the game. And like Mac suggests, respond with whatever they're asking. It's all a longshot.

Cheers - Ian
