These are professional demos and are radio quality production, but I see what you mean about radio being commercial. Therefore I probably can't/shouldn't try to get them played. Even though it is not for commercial gain, just played once or twice not played like you would want an artists cd played.
I won a free demo from Beaird Music there in Nashville. I was told that the demo could be used to promote the song. If, I were to use it to "make" money then I would need to own the master. Then I could do whatever I wanted with it. It would be available for tv, movies, etc .because I would own the master. The cost was $175 or $150 (don't remember), it was advised to do it at the time of the recording because sometimes it is hard to locate all of the musicians and get them to sign off on it later.
I did not pay for this demo, but even if you are paying to have a demo done, the musicians are a work for hire from the studio. They do have to sign off for you to own the master. Owning the master you can do whatever you want with the demo.
I will just concentrate on making local contacts at the songwriters workshop coming up in a week and a half here where I live. I think it will be a great opportunity to meet local talent that I don't know about yet.
Hey, at least we got another conversation going.....right?
