All very true…!
One more important factor in giving “edgy” tracks tailored for a high-end market (film, TV) exposure in an overcrowded market full of copy-pasted music would be what I’d call “curated marketing”. I think Envato should start making high-end collections (or “albums” as other libraries would call them) and market them to customers on dedicated landing pages.
I honestly don’t understand why they don’t do this already. But then again Audiojungle’s role in the Envato universe might still simply be too small for them to be interested enough? They’d have to hire experienced people to do this - and that of course costs money. Still, I’m sure that this approach would pay off in the long run.
BTW: I tried to start a discussion around this topic here - yet that didn’t seem to gain too much traction…
Glad to see that the topic itself (the general theme of “quality vs. quantity”) actually is of interest to some people here! I’d be really happy to hear more thoughts and ideas on this…
