awinfield999 10 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 it's a bidding process, so companies like Wise Buddah and Music 4 will send in their demos to hope to be broadcast. i spotted on the live camera a while ago that music 4 made the newsbeat imaging for this year. its a bit disappointing that they aren't putting much on their website, though.

awinfield999 10 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 i'll try and e-mail music 4 and wise buddah and see if they would put any of their work online. not really anticipating a response though.

DC 84 Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 i have a few mark & lard shows from 2003, and the newsbeat bed there sounds like they got hold of the bbc news 24 package and slightly altered it. Quote on the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsbeat 10 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 It is similar in sound to the BBC News package, as it was composed by the same person - David Lowe.It is custom-made from 1 'theme' which is then incorporated into ll the cuts from the package.@awinfield999 - I've tried e-mailing Music4 loads of times, never got a response Quote Latest additions: - Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010) - 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40) - BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsbeat 10 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm thinking of sending them a hand written letter. Maybe they'll respond? I'll ask them for some 'demo cd's' with various Newsbeat bits on it.

awinfield999 10 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 thanks - its a shame they ignore all their e-mails, not as though we run our own stations and illegally broadcast their work, is it Quote Latest Jingles: 2010 Beds Package, 2009 and 2010 ID Packages, Newsbeat 2009/10.http://www.freegary.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsbeat 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 What would be cool for geeks like us is if they put the top three entires for example open to vote for.Wish they would do that. Do you want me to drill down into why they wouldn't or not?

newsbeat 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 They don't pay companies for demo material.All rights remain with the composer, so the BBC doesn't own a thing in the demo, so if they put it online, it would probably be breaking the law Quote Latest additions: - Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010) - 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40) - BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Fan 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 All the Music 4 stuff is copyrighted but it's not as if anyone on a pirate station will want jingles that talk about Radio 1 on them - they need to lighten up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanEx 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 To be fair, they have their proper jobs to do - and they have little reason for them to share to just enthusiasts. Quote BritishGaming.co.uk | SciFi.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awinfield999 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I guess so, in a way its nearly like real music, or any other collector. They're not going to give anything away for free just because they're enthusiastic. Never mind, but it would be nice if they at least updated their websites.

JonathanEx 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Also, if tracks are not for exclusive use, they could be relicensed later, or resung, or whatever.There is a LOT of money in library music - you can make a lot off it! Each bed or theme you hear is PRS eligible just like songs are. Quote BritishGaming.co.uk | SciFi.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awinfield999 10 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Exactly - PRS/MCPS licensing is really expensive to get, but people with it can download production music. Some charge ontop of that too - it's a long and complicated process. Most of R1's stuff is comissioned personally, I think.
