This thread is mostly aimed at directors and producers, but anyone with any info is more than welcome to offer their $0.02.
I have a question about music in adult films.
Basically, I'm contemplating starting up a music production house to cater to the thousands of adult production companies that are out there. My concern is that I will invest X amount of time to building my company, only to find out that the music market in porn is cornered by a handful of production houses.
I've been doing some research and come across some pricing - some companies charge like $10/song, and some charge a couple thousand per movie. I think both of those are unrealistic!
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Anyways, any help is much appreciated - thanks! :)

You are correct in the pricing structure you mentioned. The online price ranges from $10 to $60+. I have paid much more on occasions. I use many different sources for my music. I personally select all the music my company uses and score my own productions. I prefer original over anything else. I have actually bought fairly inexpensive music from a Grammy winning producer recently. It really varies. There are many royalty free and music licensing companies online. You would have to compete with them. You would have to offer the adult industry something that they couldn't get elsewhere,i.e. quality and variety of music, pricing, length of tracks etc. There are a lot of variables. I personally would check out your music. I always look for good new music. A lot of producers/editors create there own music using loop based or music creation software. I do this as well. I think music is an afterthought to a lot of companies and gonzo die hards don't like music. I am not trying to discourage you, just don't depend on the adult industry. Cater to the mainstream worldwide via online downloads and you have a chance. Just my opinions.
