Title: How to Write a Perfect Ending for Various Types of Songs

Dynamic Endings to Your Tracks Make Them More Saleable
We often see artists upload a fabulously scary and frightening track with an ending that wimps out rather than giving that music a dramatic, bring-down-the house finale that could make your music more desirable for client productions. Or else, you have a beautiful, leisurely romantic track that ends too quickly, killing off the romantic feelings you spent 2.30 minutes developing. Many of your gorgeous tracks – tragic, elegant piano solos, psycho-madness, action adventure, etc. – may have been uploaded quickly without a sound check. Some that fade do not allow a long enough fade and feel chopped off. Others are absolutely chopped off with no fade, making this music unfit for any production.
 
Other tracks have a great beginning, build and develop your story, but then put the listener to sleep by dragging the ending on for 30 to 40 seconds. Before you create new music, please listen to some of the tracks below to hear some quality endings, and utilize these techniques in your own production work which will enhance your chances of getting your music licensed. 

Below are some of your colleagues’ tracks that exhibit great ways to end a song. Often it helps to listen to the first 20 seconds of a song, and then listen to the last 20 seconds to be sure the ending is as strong or stronger than the beginning. Depending on the length of a track, somewhere in the last 10 to 30 seconds you have an opportunity – actually an obligation -- to nail those perfect last notes that could make a difference and get your music sold.
