Good point,

 

So I imagine you can't be
picky about that - as the case is when it comes to non pre cleared
music.

Yes, for example, all the music I write for corporate I use one simple 
model. I charge per hour for the time it took to write, and then I 
license the recording (1 extra line in the contract of the whole 
multi-media production, not a 67 page EULA) whereby its use in THAT 
production is allowed forever. The company are NOT allowed to reuse the 
music or play it at any event, and that if they want to use it for TV 
advertising or another production, they must talk to me.

This has only actually happened once, where a piece I wrote for a film 
for Aker Solutions, they wanted to use at a live event. They complied 
with my contract and paid me some extra for that one showing.

In this day and age, it continues to be important to retain ones rights 
to the music and never, ever sell, but return fees and or fees based on 
viewer counts, is not feasible and in many cases possible, so a company 
would choose not to use. There are PLENTY of totally free music library 
sites fow, and for me, as a film-maker, I only record for quality, cos I
 want something special, I am NOT making money out of it, apart for that
 fact that my company budgets some hours for me to do this AT WORK... 
but its hours, rather than days ha ha!!!
I am the master of throwing library loops together and having something an an hour and a half... Did I say quality...? er...?
