Hi sevenjungle,

If I understand you correctly, then you want to use the same music in a single YouTube video intro that will be used before lots of different videos right? If so, I’m pretty sure a single license lets you do that, it would only be if each video intro were different, but using a song for an intro that is used in multiple videos is allowed I believe.

Welcome mate!

Who? I haven’t had a proper visit from that dude for a bit – tell him I have BEER in my place, and lots of it.

Not sure I agree with the ‘don’t delete anything from your portfolio’ idea. I used to, but then after a year and a bit of uploading, some tracks still haven’t sold so I deleted them. Basically, it’s just more content for people to wade through to find my stronger-selling tracks.

Customers can always get in contact if they need a specific track – in fact, I’d say this is more of a reason why Envato should update the preview.mp3 with something like {authour-username}-{track-title}.mp3 rather than a reason to keep lots of non-selling tracks in your portfolio…

I know about FL studio, but as far as I know I can install Windows on Mac and then FL will be available. I need FL to use MIDI redactor to create drum part. FL midi redactor is something that I like to work with:) And than I am planning to use Logic for everything:)

I didn’t know FL isn’t available for Mac – I would stick with a PC if you intend to use that, as GG said, no point running software on a Mac via Bootcamp or the like if you’re primarily using PC-only software, it would be a very expensive way of working!

I would go with an iMac if you’re not worried about portability. Don’t go for Macbook Air as that’s not geared towards any serious music making. MacBook Pros are good as well, but I think you’ll get more use out of an iMac and it comes with a great screen.

I use a Mac Pro in my London studio and a quad core Mac Mini Server when I’m away. I love the mini, fantastic little machine and combined with Vienna Symphonic’s VEPro, it’s capable of a lot.

That’s my 2p worth

Haha! Thanks fellas, I am indeed a new colour. Appreciate the almost-back-rubbing post AlumoAudio

It woud be great if we could upload video previews to replace the EQ visualisation. Then maybe we would be considered as equals, in their eyes.

I’m less concerned about being considered ‘equal’ in their eyes to be honest, I think it shouldn’t even be about some kind of hierarchy which is the sense I get from some of the posts from vh authours. Great idea to have the ability to upload vh previews though, we could then sync our audio to the video and customers would benefit from seeing how the audio can work to picture. Bandwidth costs would be massive for Envato though I suspect…

When I wrote emails at first, I didn’t realise it would annoy VH authors, I naively thought that they would appreciate an AJ author offering music for them to enhance their previews. Doh!

Well, the irony is that there are lots of videohive productions that wouldn’t have half the success if the audio was removed, so I find that gypsy comment a bit strange to say the least.

studio26design – thanks for the link, a particularly interesting comment from ‘Cyzer’:

“to be honest I started to look at AJ authors as gypsies, not all of them but many…”
