I'm actually having a live meeting with the conductor this wed.. This stuff is a little more complicated than I thought. Orchestras have their programs set almost a year in advance, and your music has to fit into the concept or theme they have for their performance. They also often have...

I bounce my midi to audio quickly in Sonar, starting with the winds and usually don't have a problem there. It's Finale that seems to be the biggest problem for me, where you can't go to audio- though you can import 1 audio file in Finale '08.

I do quite a few full orchestral mock-ups. I use Finale to write the score, and Sonar for the final audio. When I'm in Finale I try to get the audio as decent as I can, so I don't have to spend too much time on midi editing in Sonar. I use EWQSO patches in the Kompakt player in Finale and...

Hey, loud orange cat, thanks for the link. I already uploaded some of my stuff. http://www.archive.org/details/BeautyCreek

Do you have a page on soundclick? You can upload your stuff there in under any genre, and it's free. You can pay a fee if you need to upload bigger files. I've got a couple film jobs from it. http://www.soundclick.com/pro/view/01/default.cfm?bandID=498460&content=music Andy

Thanks for listening, Will. So when do you guys start thinking about music for your films, what do you do? Surf for duty free stuff til you find something you like, import it into Vegas and mess around? Find a composer, give him a script and notes? Give the composer an mpeg of some footage and...

I've kinda posted stuff on other sites promoting myself for film work. And I've gotten some: but it never really paid. The filmmakers said they'd get me copies of the final cut, but I've yet to see anything. And it's just too much work for a "thank you." I decided to take a new angle, and give...

Hi all, My name's Andy. I live around Chicago and play synth in theater pits in my free time and write music. Came on this site awhile back and, if it wasn't free, probably just blew it off :lol:. Gotta offer for a free trial, and thought "why not?" I'm kind of random, but always harmless and...
