DYNAMIC PLUG-IN PROCESSOR
Composer Wendell Hanes (www.volitionsound.com) writes regularly for national advertising campaigns, scores films, and is the author of the new book, The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand In 30 Seconds — Producing Music for Commercials (AuthorHouse, 2007). Hanes notes a number of factors that make plug-in compressor/limiters valuable to his everyday workflow. “As a composer, the sound of an instrument is just as important to me as the melody or line I am playing,” he says. “The sound of an instrument influences what I play. Therefore, I try to nail the sound as I am creating melodies. I think plug-ins allow for greater experimentation, especially when time is of the essence. The ability to A/B different settings quickly is very helpful when I am creating a score.

making the mogul
Is there more money in producing for avenues like television and video games as opposed to producing for artists?
Oh yeah. With a 30 second jingle, I can make $30,000. Actually, there’s a book coming out very soon by Wendell Hanes called The 30/30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds. I wrote a chapter in there about mixing – the difference between mixing music for records and mixing music for TV. That should be coming out very soon.

MAKING THE MOGUL
Talking with Grammy Winner Steve Pageot
Filed under Interviews, Mogul In The Making, The Business | 10 Comments
Gold and Platinum plaques, a Grammy award and negotiations to work on Michael Jackson’s next studio album - these are credentials anybody would be more than proud of. But this is just the tip of the iceberg for producer/engineer/musician/composer, Steve Pageot. He’s definitely making major moves and is a mogul in the making.

Off The Books:Producer Wendell Hanes makes “30 Grand in 30 Seconds”
March 17, 2008
Record industry in a slump? There is more than one way to skin a beat. At least that is what award winning producer and composer Wendell Hanes says in his up-coming book, The 30-30 Career:Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds-Producing Music for Commercials!
Hanes has made a living scoring over 500 commercials, promos and show themes in his decade long career, including the well-known “Birth of The Scratch” spot for Heineken. He has worked with every major advertising client you can imagine, from McDonald’s and Pepsi to Mercedes Benz and Nike.
His new company VOLITION SOUND BRANDING creates sound for film and television, and is extending its brand with the book. The two volume set is the most up to date “how to” resource in music composition for the advertising industry, featuring commentary from some of the top names in the game.
“Don’t just wait on the record industry to make money with your music,” advises Hanes.
“Get some of this advertising money and in the process, turn yourself and your company into a brand. The 30 30 Series will show you how.”
The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds-Producing Music For Commercials will be available April 29th on AuthorHouse Publishing .

career opprtunity
I am from California originally, however; currently residing in south Texas due to my work as a Project Engineer for Kiewit Offshore Services. My passion is music; I live and breathe it on a daily basis. Everything I do is geared towards helping me become better at my craft. My dream is to score movies and commercials and soundtracks and things of that nature. I can honestly say that I have an above par creative genius when it comes to making music that touches your soul. Whether it is Hip Hop, R & B or whatever have you, if I listen to it and study it, I can become it and create it. I’ve been trying to figure out how to go about getting into the business of making music for commercials or television for a while now so when I came across your article I was taken back to have found exactly what it was looking for. So the reason for my contacting one of your associates yesterday, and for me contacting you today by e-mail is because your associate told me to yesterday, but more than that; I would like to know if in any way, you can advise me on what is needed by me and also required from you, to become apart of Volition and making music geared towards television or what have? I have no problem with you listening to what it is and what type of music that I do, so if you’d like, upon your response I could attach one of my song for you listening pleasure. I am a very ambitious and goal oriented individual, and opportunities like this I know are seldom, therefore I don’t want to take the risk of missing out on one. Thank you and I am looking for to your response?

where?
Hello my name is Nathanael , My dream is to compose music like you do, for
commercials movies and all sorts of things i have a portfolio of a couple of
commercials i have stripped down and re did the music and sound effects to also a
couple of songs i have recorded for clients and radio adds that i have also done. I
would like to order your book it sounds great, can you please tell me where i can
place an order for it?, also how did you start in your career, i just need a push in
a direction that will take me somewhere, i want to be a composer/producer but i dont
know who to go to or who to contact for this kind of field. Everyone keeps telling
me Ad agencies deal with outside audio people. How does that work? they hire you for
a client of theirs that is looking for audio or music to be put to their ad or
commercial or what not. Please i would really like to ehar back from you. thanks
alot!Nathanael

speaking at Brown
Dear Mr. Hanes,
This is Nate Sloan, a senior at Brown University and head of the Music Department
Undergraduate Group (or DUG). Shep Shapiro got in touch with me concerning the
possibility of your visiting Brown this Spring for a lecture/talk. After checking
out your work and your experience, I am hugely excited about the prospect! Your
accomplishments are impressive in their own right, and I think your visit would be
invaluable as far as introducing students to a career that lies somewhere between
the conventional niches carved into music field. Also, part of what we're trying to
do with the DUG is to create links to Music alumni, and start to get students
thinking and inpsired about life after Brown. So thanks again for offering to come!
As for the details of your visit, Shep mentioned that April might be a good time. We
can work around your schedule to find a date that works. I think that a weekday
afternoon would be desirable, because more students might turn up than on a weekend,
but again--whatever works for you is best. At the bottom of this email is a link to
the music department calendar if you want to see what days are already busy with
events.
As for the format, I was thinking that you could give a public talk, for which would
do a lot of publicity and emailing to try and draw a big crowd (I think your work
will be something people will be really interested in). I was also hoping that you
might also consider scheduling a time that you could meet with a small group of
music concentrators, students looking to go into music after graduation who would be
grateful for personal feedback and advice from you. Let me know if you'd be
interested in this.
Sorry for the long email-I may have gotten loquacious in my excitement. It's a real
privilege to be organizing this event, and thanks once again for your interest!
Look forward to talking with you more,

female composers
Lisa Gerrard is one of the front runner female composers in the industry. She co-composed major feature films Gladiator and Ali. There are lots of female composers in the scoring field. You will do great in the field with great music.
The 30-30
female composers
My name is Shannon,
I am a female in a male dominated business. Most people think that you can hear the difference between a males production and a females production and I don't believe that is true. Scoring is not like sports. How many females are scoring in this business?
the 30-30 on scoring
There are multiple aspects of scoring covered in the book. From structure, to approach, to attitude, to instinct. It's a skill that is never truly mastered as you can assume since music is so subjective. What did Tupac say again? He was discovered by the very young daughter of a top music executive. You never know who decides on what is bought on a commercial, a film or tv show, but you have to please the right people even when you don't know who the "right people" are.
Once reading the chapter you will have a great idea how to get it done.
The 30-30
I'm looking for the book
WHere can i find the book? I was also wondering what kind of things will be in the book. Like I wanna know how to learn scoring to picture. I've been watching tv more and more and I've been listening to spots.
What kind of content can I expect?

EXAMPLE OF A MUSIC BRIEF
We need a song that doesn't sound like a commercial but a real record for a beauty shampoo. The spot will play at the NBA allstar game and the VH1 Awrds Show. The song should be
SEXY, HOT, CATCHY, INFECTIOUS, CLUB HIT, UPTEMPO, EXCITING, DANCEABLE, PUSSYCAT DOLLS VIBE! A BILLBOARD MAGAZINE HIT!
The music should be four minutes in length. We need it in three days! Make it hot!!!!!
if you were given this brief, could you make something hot in three days? Soon, you'll have your chance!

steal your job!!
Hey Wendell,
I'm a big fan, I've read everything you wrote, and well, I think I
would love to steal your job. I'm 21 years old now, and the creative juices are
just flowing nonstop lately. I think after I get out of school, the only way I
will keep from going insane, or be productive at all, is to create music. It's
completely taken over me. I've been a musician for about 10 years now and play
a variety of instruments, but I know nothing about digital synthesizers and
recording technology. Do you have any recommendations on where a broke student
can learn about using this sorta stuff? I'd like to send you some of my music,
see what you think about it. Anyways, you've been a big inspiration to me, and
you're indeed a wonderful writer. You tell it from your heart, and I appreciate
your insight. I'll do whatever it takes to be able to create music for a living,
it would be a dream come true. Anyways, I look forward to hearing from you. Take
care Wendell.

MUSIC HOUSE PHILOSOPHY/VERY SUCCESSFUL
composer philosophy:
Always listen to the clients objectives. He is
the one you must satisfy. After all, you are a gun for hire. If you want
to follow your own direction, stay a song writer /producer. You must
paint in the lines you are given. Ofcourse, they hire you for what
you do and what you bring to the project.
Special projects: I have always found that the projects that allow
me the most freedom, are the most rewarding. Although, I have also
found it to be creative when the lines are tightly drawn. For
instance, if they ask for jazz, or give an example of a piece they
find suits
there ideas.
I have loved working on projects that have a blank page. they
are particularly challenging. Campaigns ive worked on for Dr. Pepper,
and Kfc come to mind. I not only created the music, but the lyric as
well as the slogan. I find Im very good at coming up with concepts.
Claim to fame: I have been involved with many classic advertising
campaigns. SOMETIMES YOU FEEL LIKE A NUT, OH WHAT A
FEELING,TOYOTA, HEARTBEAT OF AMERICA,THATS TODAYS CHEVROLET, and
many,many, more

Hey, Wendell,
I know we¹re still waiting to hear the results of the latest
meeting. In the meantime, I wanted to ask you about something else.
I just shot a spot where we¹re having real people strut down a
runway, as if they¹re in a fashion show. Except they¹re not‹they¹re actually
real people who were waiting for their bags at the airport, and we just
grabbed them and sent them down a runway.
I wondered if you might have anything in your library that would be a kind
of fashion-y, runway track. As inspiration on the set, we played
³Supermodel² and ³I¹m Too Sexy² and ³Vogue². So something in that
genre--fun, that people would strut to.
If you¹ve got anything, could you send it my way? It would be for a national
campaign.
Thanks!

I sent the package of music, bio, discography, etc. late last week. Let me

Classical composer
Not to open this back up for discussion, but I am a conductor for orchestras and i do notice that most of the people in my orchestra are white. But I can say that I know plenty of black people who play beautifully and read beautifully. i work out of Boston mostly with the occassional new York concert. Music programs are shrinking all over the country. All kids need to learn to read music more. None of us are masters of anything.
I would love to get a chance to score some commercials. Does the author of the 30 30 career ever talk on this blog?
If so, how do i collaborate with you and send you some of my work?
Johnathan Willis

Truce!
All you guys sound like you're broke. You know it's always broke people who complain in this world. Get some money in your pockets and the we'll see if you're still whining. I thought I came to this blog to hear about how I can find some more producers to collaborate with on commercials.Let's call it a truce! Anybody interested?
Sal G
here we go again!
Everytime black people are good at something, someone always says it has to be natural as if we can't practice and learn things like everybody else.
HT
whatever!
I'm complimenting black people. I'm saying that black people are naturally good at music. That's why they are so ggod.
SalG
I'm not white, I'm bi-racial
Stop getting your underoos wet HT. My dad is black and he reads music. He taught me.
SaL is just mad because he probably lost that Coca Cola commercial because of that wack producer he was working with. He probably didn't have no hits anyway and that's why he won't tell us his name.

Hold up SAL G
Hold up! what do you mean black people don't read music! I'm black i read. As many great black musicians as you see in bands on the Grammy's and on tv, you don't think Black people read. I hope you're not black saying that!

Record Producer Tales
Commercials are easy. I don't need samples. I can make anything. I play guitar, piano, violin and trumpet.

Producer Seat
That's a stupid question. If you were good you would alreeady be a producer. All you gotta do is get your chips up and by a chair. But if you can't afford a chair, you ain't ready to produce.

Record Producer Tales
I went over this producers house to collaborate on a track for Alicia Keys and he couldn't play any instruments.
I was like damn., I should be going down as producer on this joint, NOT him! Sometimes i hate being a side musician for these non-plying producers who want you to make everything for them. I'm like damn, can you make anything on your own?
How do i get to sit in the prodcer seat?
Manny

record producer tales
samples went out a while ago. He must have been a old school producer. Who was he?
RECORD PRODUCER TALES
I told this hit Record producer I needed hot beats and they were due in two days by noon. But I told him i need to hear it before I submit it in case I want you to add something to the beat. He was like "bet."
So I call a day later to see how the progress was going and I couldn't get him on the phone. I called about 6 times during the course of the day and left mesages for a call back. He emailed me and said "don't worry I got you."
Two hours passed the deadline comes and goes. Finally at 6 pm, 6 hours passed the deadline, I get a call from the record producer as if everything is great. He says that he just emailed me the tracks. I called the agency and asked if they would listen to a few more submissions. they were very reluctant but when i told them who the producer was, they changed their mind.
So I hurried and set up my computer to email these tracks. I saidd to myself, "Let me just listen to them just in case this dude sent me some wack tracks. And low and behold, they were real WACK! I thought to myself, "he must have emailed the wrong tracks" cause these hip hop tracks sounded like a beat with training wheels!
I listened back to his hit tracks and realized that all the songs he had that were hits used samples. And since I told him no samples whatsoever, he turned into a wack producer and was exposed for being wack! Yo, if you can only make hits with samples, you may never get a check in the advertising business.
I didn't even bother turning in the tracks to the agency. I'm glad I did my own version.

When is the release date?
Hi, Wendell!
My name is Gina Davis, a graduate from Film & Media Arts in video editing.
Presently, I am learning to write music (hip hop, rock, pop, etc.,) for tv
commercials. Upon reading an article (Band Aid) in the December's issue Remix
magazine about your book, "The 30-30 Career: Making 30 Grand in 30 Seconds" I was
wondering when is your release date. Your website and your interview with
allhiphop.com motivated & encouraged me to to take my music further in different
directions other than dealing with the fickle music industry. I live in
Philadelphia, Pa and right now and I working in Reason, Ableton Live, and Digital
Performer on my laptop at home to do music and it is kind of hard for me to move to
New York or California to pursue truly a career in video editing and commercials.
Needless to say, I am very anxious to read your book and get started. I hope all is
well with you and your career. Your response will greatly be appreciated.
Best Regards,
Gina Davis

that's wassup!
Hey,
I read your article in remix? magazine (which was very interesting),?and have always
been wanting to get into doing music for commercials, tv, etc. I've been
producing/making music for about 9 years and am now 22. I've done everything from
hip-hop, to house, to lounge, to drum n bass and?more. I taught myself to play keys
and also played trumpet throughout grade school. Anyway the reason I wrote is to ask
about your book and if and when it will be in stores, I'm very interested in picking
it up. If you get a chance let me know the release date of it and where I can buy it
from. Thanks!

REMIX MAGAZINE The 30 30 book
Hi Wendell:
My daughter Roshan gave me a copy of your article entitled
"Music-for-commercials composer/producer Wendell Hanes the key to
success." We read your article--thought it was great. Would like
information on how to get into the mainstream of writing for
commercials, and also how to get in touch with the right agent. Any
information, pointers and/or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Currently doing a lot of transcription for major Gospel artists. My
daughter has just finished her CD. Roshan and I need to get our
original songs "out of the suitcase," and into the universe. Look
forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks.

THE 30 30 BOOK!!!!!
COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!! Beginning of March!
If you wanna know how to get paid like a super producer, this book will tell you how to get that new money!
You ain't hot!
Tell me you're not tired of people coming to you playing booty wack music. Everybody is not hot!!!
The last five people to come with me with tracks were all WIZZACK!

When is Timbaland comin home?
Yo 30 30,
Ever since Timbo left Missy, he's been going for the check with his music. Synthesizer techno looped over the that tired Planet Rock beat. He needs to get back with Missy. He's gerttin mad checks, but he needs a reality check!

I'm very interested
I heard about this through a friend that was at the Billboard conference. We'e trying to do whatever it takes to get in. Do you accept tracks from producers?

F&*# the record business!
what the hell do I need to do records for if I can make 30 grand for a commercial. Even if I get a track on a big record. They ain't gonna give me more than ten or fifteen thousand anyway. Who cares about doing records. i'm trying to retire at 40.
Fred "Youngboy" Sands
sick of timbaland takin' all the money!
TimbaLand makes too much damn money doing records!
Labels act like he's the only one that can make hot tracks!
I've been trying to get placements for the last six years and everyone says my beats are hot. I did a track for a major artist that was supposed to be on the album, and then found out that my spot was taken by Timbaland.
I'm sick of the record industry. I'm trying to do commercials now. At least i know I won't be competing with Timbaland. Now, so what if Timbaland is proven, a hit maker. So! I'm not sweatin his stuff that much, especially his synthesizer tracks for Nelly Furtado and his solo album. I'm sick of Timbaland.
I'm trying to make 30 grand per commercial in the commercial industry. It sounds like this is the place to get it poppin!
What advice do you suggest?

Wendell, what's up this is Jew. We spoke for a minute at the Dynamic Producer conference a couple of weeks back.
I gave you my beat CD (the one that looked like a 45).
I wanted to see if there are any projects that you are looking for music and if I could send you some more tracks.
Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. I really enjoyed your workshop.

I read an interview with you on allhiphop.com and they referred to you comming out with a book about getting your material on commercial tv slots and so forth. I was just wondering if you can give me more info on when it's comming out, who's publishing it, and perhaps if I can purchase an advanced copy.
Thanks, Sigma

Mr Wendell how are you? My name is Gracious. I have a management company that currently represents artists as well as producers in Atlanta, Georgia. I want to expand the services of my company and after hearing you speak at the conference this past Thursday, I was inspired to learn more about your expertise. Initially, I would like to obtain a copy of your book as well as posiibly speak wtih you again. I am eager to learn more about helping my producers get some of these T.V. spots. We have gotten major placements with Field Mob, Ludacris, and 8 Ball and MJG, however, I would love to do some background music for anyone in the near future. Once again I am very eager to learn more and I have several questions to ask, thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Wendell,
My name is Ric "DJ Form" Robbins. I own the 3-time Grammy nominated
production company, Incorporated Elements. I have also had over 300
track/song placements in film, television, and video games.
I recently read your interview in Remix Magazine. I am very intrigued by
what you do, and would love to discuss the possibility of working with/for
you and your company in the near future.
I absolutely love the world of music branding for film, television, games,
advertising, corporate branding, etc.
I know you're very busy, but I'd love to talk to you when you have time.
Thanks,
Ric

Wendell,
Thanks for your article in Dec Remix. It couldn't have been more timely for me. As
the new year approaches, I'm looking to expand my workload to encompass more
commercial and composition for hire. Your article was super inspirational and
motivational to me. As a multi-instrumentalist and degreed composer with some solid
rock record producer/writer/arranger credits, I know I've got the "goods"; I just
need to present myself in the right way to the right people. It's time to stop
sitting on $50 grand of gear making records that will never be
printed/released/marketed in the physical realm....
I've looked every couple of days on AuthorHouse for your book to no avail.
I'll buy it the day it's released. Please let me know!
Cheers,
Brent Meyer
BTW - BRILLIANT work! I think I listened to every sample on Volition's webpage.
