We are HIGHLY selective in our choices of music and composer/producers we work with. If you feel you have the chops and quality to produce music that stands alongside the work showcased on our site and in our music library, please read further.
If you’d like to be considered for the monkhood, please keep in mind that you must own 100% of the copyright of all work submitted and the master rights to the recording.
How The Music Store Works
Our production music library offers a fast, easy way for visual creatives such as Indie Filmmakers, Ad Agency producers, Flash animators, Corporate video producers, etc. to find and use high quality music in their productions. Our clients purchase a license for the synchronization rights to put your music to their images.
You as the Composer are able to earn a percentage of this licensing fee AND in some cases (broadcast) you can earn performance royalties paid through your performance rights society (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, PRS, etc.)
Upon Acceptance
- You will have an additional revenue stream from work already created and under-utilized
- Non-exclusive – you can sell your music to anyone else at anytime. Just let us know if you sign an exclusive deal somewhere else so we can remove your track(s).
- Equitable profit sharing – 50/50% net income split (after credit card processing fees and any commissions to affiliate sites)
- Payments – We pay biannually.
- Publicity –Links to your catalog
- On our list for custom scoring opportunities with advertising agencies, film studios, independent producers and more.
- We reserve the right to choose tracks, presentation, editorial comments, genre description.
- We reserve the right to set prices
Guidelines
Samples should not sound like samples. Electronics should not sound synthy unless intended. You should have a studio where you can produce music quickly to a creative brief. You can work in any sequencing environment you like (LogicPro, ProTools, DigitalPerformer, Nuendo, etc) as long as you can produce high quality results. If your works are songs with vocals, please also include instrumental versions – these often sell better as the lyric content can get in the way of voice overs and narration.
Hi 300 Monks,
I am interested in submitting music for your consideration. I work with Cubase in my studio and own my masters. Do you require a CD submission or can I point you to links for review?

You can send us links to MP3s.
Please DO NOT ATTACH MP3s as they will crash our email server.
Send direct links to 2 or 3 of your best work in your best style/genre.

I found where I can upload sound tracks for your approval but it doesn’t say what quality you require. I am on dialup so wav or high quality will be out of the question for me.
I notice that you ask for a maximum of 2mb each for sample soundtracks, most of mine go well over that at 128kbps, do you want me to send cut down versions so they will come in under 2mb?
Yes – please send short segments. If we like what we hear, we’ll ask for more.
My uploaded music samples contain vocals, of course all songs are available without vocals as well.
Cheers!
