Hi Mike,

One question when I upload my tracks are they automatically placed in the library or will I have to placed them there too and will they be in both places as well.

Thanks for your help.

Yours

Laman Richards

Thanks Mike, I'm good to go then...

Mike;

What am I supposed to do with the songs that did not  get attached to the library  Are they rejected, or is there something that I need to do?  I notice that when I try to put a logo file unto these there is a problem should I simply remove them and repost it?

Greame

Hi Mike -

I'm just uploading away here....If I decide one "genre" is better for me than another, can it be edited later on, or once I submit to the library is it a done deal?

Thanks, for the record, your system has the fastest upload time of any other I've submitted to....I like that....

Thanks,

Jeff

Thanks, We have alot more where that came from!

what category should i put them into in the mean time??

Wow mike

 I'm really pleased the tracks got chosen. Thankyou so much.

Matt

Hi Mike!!

Thanks for everything.  I have a question.  I have some music that I would like to post.  It would be classified as soca / calypso, or World / Caribbean.  I did not see any category that would suit this can you please adise.

hiw do i change password?

Hi Mike,

This may be a silly question. When I signed up for Humtoo, I did so under my name (Knight Berman Jr), thinking that I might be composing most pieces specifically for projects. However, I see now that there are opportunities for actual 'songs' (in the Mixed Tape areas for example), and most of the songwriting I do - while still being under my name as the writer - is performed by me under the 'band name' The Marble Tea.

I'd like to start actively submitting more song material, but wondered how I could do that with The Marble Tea listed as the performer, rather than under my name. Should I create another account for The Marble Tea, or is there a way under my profile to make that designation when needed? I'd love to be able to do this in the manner that you prefer, but I'm just not sure what that is. Thanks!

I hope I explained that well enough...

~Knight Berman Jr

Thanks Mike! Fingers crossed!

Hello Mike,

I want to become a member of ASCAP (I have never had a PRO) but I'm not sure I will qualify. I have written many pieces of music, but none have ever been published or recorded commercially. I have written songs that were performed by bands that I was in, but not since around 2004. I don't have any records as to the exact dates these were performed, although I do remember where they were performed and approximately when it was. On the application, however, they ask for specific dates.  I do not have any recordings or sheet music for them either. 

I would appreciate any insight you may have.

Thank You,

Jessie McBreairty

Hey Mike

Hi Mike.

 I was just wondering if there is any significance to the red outline that appears on some tracks? Also any clues as to when the latest batch of mix tapes will get a decision?

All the best.

Matt

Thank you Mike.
I will try to adapt my self to your system, fast.

Hi Mike, my track Sahara 3 was chosen for Grindstone-Eastern. As it's for theatre it probably won't get included in the sizzle reel as nothing visual to go with it.  If you wanted to use any of my music as an intro/outro though that'd be great.

Also, some of the mix tapes that are shut have my tracks attached and I was wondering if the time between now and tracks being freed up for other projects could take not too long.

And... it would probably help us music makers if tracks could be rejected from projects when the person looking for music hears them and definitely doesn't want a track as it would free tracks up to be attached to other projects more quickly.

Finally, I love this sight and am really pleased with how easy it is to use, the agreement in general, and how friendly it is.  I'm very happy that 1 of my tracks has been chosen for a project, several for mix tapes and I'm in the hum lead this week!

Thanks, Sharon

Hi Mike thanks for your reply and my apologies for the very delayed reply from me.Just seen a Moby documentary which was interesting and i recommend it if it comes your way on arts tv channel.He said he had to go down the promo road to get his music out there as it was not getting airtime which is the direction humtoo is taking me.I,m being pulled in so many directions with new ideas but plan to get my royalty registration sorted out first.So i need to register in the uk before i start putting anything out have you had any royalty registration and dealings yourself yet and any advice for me as to how and where to register? Looking forward to hearing from you.Steve.Have a nice day.

Hi Mike

 I was just uploading a track called ttrue grit for the skinny jeans pointy shoes mix tape The project c losed during the process. Any chance you could squeeze it in for consideration? 

 All the best

Matt

Thanks!  Glad you liked it. :)

Hi Mike,

   I notice that it appears tracks have already been picked for the various "mix tapes" that have January 31st deadlines.  There was a track I was going to upload for one of them, but just haven't had a chance to record it; I was thinking by the end of the week I'd have some time and still be able to make the deadline....but is it effectively too late if tracks have been chosen now?

    -Jonathan

Hi Mike,

   Okay, thanks!  Regarding your question, the "for bass" at the end of "Conversation on Auld Lang Syne" was the only one that really bothered me, but there were two other titles that got affected by the 40-character limit.  "Inspirational Feel Good Music (orchestra" could be changed to "Inspirational Feel Good Music (orch.)" or just "Inspirational Feel Good Music".  "Squirrel and Rabbit`s Peek-a-boo (Humtoo" could be changed to "Squirrel and Rabbit`s Peek-a-boo (HT)"

    Thanks,

      -Jonathan

Hi Mike,

   Very quick question:  Is there a way I can change a title for something that I've already submitted to the library or a project (without having to delete and re-upload)?  It looks as if after a certain point I can only change the logo.  Some of the track names got cut off, because when you enter the track name, I guess the field allows more characters than are really allowed in the system.  So, for example, I would want to change ""Conversation on Auld Lang Syne for Bass" to simply "Conversation on Auld Lang Syne" because "bass" was part of "bass clarinet" which apparently got cut off because of the limit, but I didn't notice until now.

   Thanks,

      -Jonathan

To you Mike and all at Humtoo,like to wish you a great New Year and may the new decade be the road to all you wishes.

Hi Mike,

   Just a quick comment.  I love the way the site is organized; I've uploaded some pieces and am hoping it works out.

   If you're open to suggestions, I wonder if you've thought of including some sort of expanded keyword search or "smart search" ability.  Right now, I see people can search by genre and several other parameters.  The trouble is, you can't really tell how the music sounds until you listen to everything, and genre or instrument isn't always the best way to find the piece with the most appropriate mood.  This is an interesting technical problem, but I believe creating some sort of keywords for "expanded search" could help fill the gap.  Perhaps it could be like one of those personality tests where there are a great number more adjectives to try to get a profile.  Another approach is to use an algorithm to allow people to find "similar" pieces to a given piece, or even traversing a visual "map" of related pieces based on listener/rating data using a multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithm. The idea would be that it would create a more "intuitive" sort of search that could help people expand their horizons in searching and possibly better find just the right piece.

Another related idea would be to have some sort technology, maybe with Ajax or Flash, where just by mousing over something you start to hear a little bit.  Combined with the "visual search map" idea, this could be a really powerful, revolutionary way to search music.

Anyhow, hope that thought wasn't too long.  It's just a suggestion.  If you have any questions on these ideas or how one might be able to implement them, please let me know.  As a said, I love the site and how it's put together.

Thanks,

Jonathan

hi mate,

yeah it appears to be working just fine now. cheers!

marcos

Ok 

I will ask the buma (Netherlands)
 

Nice platform you're busy building!

Hey Mike,

I just joined HUMTOO - sweet site.  The info I typed in my profile isn't showing up anywhere - why not?

Best,

Jeff

Thanks Mike - really appreciate the kind words

Thanks mate, it's my favorite of the bunch as well.

Mike,

sorry for pestering you with questions, but, just wanted to clarify something.  I pitched a number of tracks for the zipklang library project, it then closed and has since reopened.  The tracks are still viewable in the zipklang project, but I am unsure if this means they were selected or not?  The closing date has been extended, so i'm a little confused.

Also what does the 'submit this track to the music library' do?  If I were to hit this on the zipklang tracks would they then be taken away from that project?

I look forward to hearing back from you,

Rick.

Hi Mike

 Just noticed that a couple of projects have extended their deadlines, one of them for the second time. Obviously they haven't found what they are looking for yet and are buying more time. With this in mind would it be worth adding a disattach function on the site. Some of the writers may have already posted the limit of two tracks to a project and since none of the current pitches were chosen it would give them a another chance to get it right. I think the two track limit is the right way to go but in the event of extensions then a disattach function might be advantageous to both the writers and the film makers. It may also free up some of your time.

Cheers.

Matt

Hi mike,

I just joined humtoo and I would like to know if you could clear some questions I have?  I would like to know if the song that is chosen for a project is the song with the most hums, or it is chosen by the project's owner regardless of the numbers hums?

Yep. A .Wav it is.

I keep trying but no luck yet... 

Any ideas? :)

Hmmm... This is probably obvious to everyone else... 

The "kringle" project.. are the files submitted used only for other people's mixes, or are they (also) submitted to buyers looking for Christmas music?

Hi mike

 Thanks for your reply regarding free music for students. Sorry my responce has been slow but i've been busy with a couple of projects recently. You have put my mind at rest on this issue so i'll stop fretting about it. In the next month I will have some finished versions of tracks I have put on the site and if possible would like to replace the rough cuts I have posted with the finished versions. Is it possible to do this? The tracks are, Tell them apart, Ny-lon and the wind. I hope this is workable as the production quality is so much better on the new versions.

All the best

Matt.

Im now just starting with humtoo. i would like to enter an IPI number and paypal info but when i log into my account i don't see anyplace for that info. iv'e clicked on everything and still see nothing. what am i doing wrong?

Hi Mike

Would it be possible to make the sync licences editable so that they can be filled in electronically?

Many thanks

Hey Mike,

Thanks for your reply.  Sorry for my not checking back sooner to see it.  I signed a publishing contract and those songs (only those) are exclusive to them.  Thank you very much, this is a great site!

Sean Clark

Hello Mike

Its Didorion,tried it again,still can't upload my songs.Can you null and void my page so i can start again,because I'm getting nowhere with this.

Thanx,hv a great wkend,Didorion

thanks for the message, Mike. Looking forward to getting involved on the site, which I think is great and incredibly innovative. Cheers - Justin

Thank you, sir... now suddenly I'm a Lamb fan. 

Hi Mike,

I'e done a track for the Waiting Chase...which tracks has been chosen?

Thanks Mike!

Thanks for the welcome. Cheers

Thanks for getting back to me. I actually just heard the glitches when I listened back from my end of the site, right after uploading them. I think they seem to be okay now, but I'll give another listen tomorrow.

Rick

Hi there, nice to have joined up fully, no problems thus far.

All the best.

Pat.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your support.

I've been signed up for a couple of months now and just discovered the "submit this track to the humtoo music library" link.

Good thing though because all of my tracks are already published on cd's under same title, so I just renamed them "Title (Humtoo Version)".

I have more original tracks to upload, but was hoping you would let me know if I'm doing this right so far.

I read the terms agreement, but I'm no lawyer, and just want to be sure I'm not missing anything before I load more music that's already published.

Thank you!

Hey Mike,

My track: Some Pretty Intense Chewing,  needs to be reattached to the project Chew TV Ident. It was taken down beacuse it was an MP3.

Thanks,

Jeremy Khawaja

its fine now, cheers from dan

Hi Mike,

A few months back I deleted some of the songs on my profile.  Swamp Country, Cool blues, Meadows, and several others (not sure which ones).  They still had the 'delete track' X so I used that to remove them.  The first two still seem to be in the system based on a link in on of the comments on my page. 

Could I have those tracks removed permanently?  I cannot have them in a library at this time.

Thanks,

Sean Clark

hi mike, i cant connect to step 2 of uploading music. could you check and see if there's a problem.

   cheers dan

Hi Mike

Just wondering when you will be announcing the HUMCAST winner?

Cheers

Peter

I am so sorry about the confusion and multiple emails. Why do the submissions to A Mans personal Hell have a BLACK HUM button and I don't. What does this mean?

How do I remove tracks from my profile that don't playback please?

Dear Mike, I have submitted about 10 tracks. I want to make sure that they are uploading correctly and are getting to where they are supposed to go. I am most interested that the custom tracks that I wrote for A Mans Personal Hell, Chew tv, and the Wait (chase) are in the right place for review as I put a lot of time into these and want to be sure that they will be heard.

Thank You

Joe Ercole

Hi Mike, can you verify that you received my submission for A Mans Personal Hell. My track is called A Mans Dilemma. I think I did everything correctly but am not sure. Please let me know if you got it successfully.

Thanks

Joe Ercole

Oh okay. So what if i publish a song and a couple days later, someone else wants to either buy it or lease it for thier project? Am i allowed to do that?

Hi Mike,

I've just submitted a track to your library but forgot to change the name.  It's called Taste Of Your Love, could you edit the title for me please adding (humtoo verson) to the end?

Thanks

Mick.

i didnt realise it would take processing time

i just found the bottom of the page where it shows that.

thanks

Hey I made a track and wanted to upload it for the chewtv project.

I followed directions, but I dont see it posted on their page or on mine.

Also if I go to another page it says that I already have a track posted and I cant apply for other projects until I remove it. Why can I only try for one proejct at a time?

Thanks

Hey Mike.

Thank you for your response.

Last question... If i submit my music to the music library, do i lose the over all right to my works?

Oh and listen to my music please and tell me what you think. GOD Bless

By uploading my music to the music library, do i still get royalties and recognition for my work?

hi mike

just uploaded another track called casting the hum. feedback would be most welcome so i know whether to continue with this or go back to one of my earlier tracks. cheers  peter

Hi Mike,

My name is Miguel. I have a question.  Is the video an televisión advertisement? Which is the purpose?

Thanks

Miguel

Hello Mike,

First of all, thanks for presenting me this great website ! I just sent a track for the Humcast project, and I might have others to send. But before I have a question for which I couldn't find the answer. I am new here, and french, so maybe the answer is obvious and I just didn't get it. Sorry for that.

Anyway I wanted to know if a track is selected, am I allowed to use the same track for other projects ? Personnal projects ? Or will they be the only one who will have the right to use it ?

I am sorry if I am asking a stupid questions, but even if it has been several years that I have been working in this business, the contracts are never the same !

Good luck to everyone, and thanks for the cool work opportunities.

Olivier

Hi Mike,

Thanks for all the positive and encouraging comments. I noticed that particular track wasn't working too. Also, the project 'A Part Apart' selected one of my tracks, but it doesn't appear on my profile to the public, only when I'm logged in.

Thanks for your time Mike.

Danny 

Hi Mike.

 I was just wondering if it is possible for me to upload a music project that needs a video? I know this is the reverse process of the norm here at humtoo but it just might work. Is it possible? What are your thoughts?

All the best. 

Matt. 

I was to quick with my message below, it works perfectly now.
Thanks,

Sarif

Dear Mike,

I'm trying to upload my first Humtoo track for the 'Heads Up' project which is closing today. It doesn't work, I can select the wave file on my desktop and fill out the form. But when I hit the 'next'- button nothing seems to be uploaded.. Can you help me?

Best wishes from Holland,

Sarif Tribou

Hi Mike,

Is there any plan to make a search option within new projects for Genre required? I think that would be a great option.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Thanks very much! I appreciate that.  This is a fantastic site, thank you for such a great concept.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your comments on 1Holiday, it certainly a feel good track!
