I had a company show interest in my music samples (SoundCloud) and I'm looking into making / creating a longer version(s).
It seems like a small undertaking, though ... I'm up for it ! :~)
This is my dilema; I found the midi / Notation version and the Logic Pro version. The notation version is the shorter (8) measure version. The full created work is like 24 measures.
Do I start with the Notation or the Logic Pro route ?
I have included the picture for Logic, and the SoundCloud link.
My current thinking is going with Logic, since already a lot of mixing already done.
Think OK to share in the Post - Production lounge too ? I started here, since I know more people and have talked / texted with you. I feel it's more of a composing question than Post - Prod., though ... this one's kind of already tied together with past work / tracks. One of my ideas is to add piano and a few other instruments for the B section, while keeping the current theme which has already been stated.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Forgot one important point - It looks like I would have to cut the Audio in the Logic Pro point - see if you can see the light white line towards middle of screen.

Since it's from 2021 I'd start over with notation. There's probably some things I'd want to change and I know I'd want to use the samples and plug-ins that I've purchased in the last few years and kick it up a bit. it's only a minute so you'll get it done in a day if not sooner.

Linwood Bell - good point ! I have purchased sounds also. The Co. Suggestsd music longer, so it may take time to write and edit! It’s not for pay - yet, so there’s the paid work which comes first.
Thanks for the suggestions and advice. !!

Thanks, Maurice. I still need to do the extended work on those instrumentals. (It would be good to know what a good length is for Sync / movies. Standard song length (3:15-3:30) ?? Some Syncs are good at 2:30 +, right ??
Some Docs are probably better at 4- 5 mins ?

You're welcome, Kerry Kennard. Sorry, I'm not sure.

A piece at 2:30 to 3:00 is good and think of edit points so someone can chop a 30 or 60 out of it for commercial work. You should join something like TAXI and force yourself to do a brief or two a month for six months. They will give you a direction in which to write and what length they want and a few guide tracks show just what they are looking for. Plus you'll get feedback on what you pitched and why it was or wasn't picked. It's worthwhile just for the rejection alone. :)
