Hey everyone, Something i can't figure out and couldn't find the right info. i'm using logic pro (rosetta on mac studio). I'm getting close to finish a score for a 35 min documentary. In the middle of the score i want to make a tempo change, increase from 100 to 120 bpm. But for the life of...

I'm currently scoring my first short film, and although I'd considered myself a fairly advanced user in my DAW (Cubase) I've never had to export my music for the purpose of film scoring before. Could anyone give any pointers on what directors would expect, or what is useful in this scenario...

Would something like SonicCouture HAMMERSMITH PRO give me the sound I'm looking for? If not is there something else that would fit more better? Please recommend me some libraries. Thank You Tracks listed below:

I love the horns! So big and jazzy. But which instruments are being used? I'm not sure but I'd like to know especially the first few seconds of when the music starts. Is there a sax in there?

Hello! Does anyone else use Sonnox Inflator to saturate your orchestral soundtracks? This plugin was a revelation for me, although some say that it is already old. I add it to Master Bus. I love the effect knob at a position of 30 to 50%. Could you set this to 100%? I feel the maximum...

Hi everyone. I present to you my latest production for the genre Horror / Thriller. I hope you enjoy it. Good listening, Sarah.

Hi, folks! It is difficult to find information on this topic. I finished work on my short film. I wrote a soundtrack and sent it with stems for mixing in 5.1. I did a basic eq adjustment, for some percussion I used a bit of compression, reverb, emulation tape. My master bus is empty. What...

Curious where people source sheet music to study and or interpret? What is the best place to find real Film Score sheet music?

Hi all, How do you handle working on several score cues of the same project on Cubase? I usually have them all on one project, I set a marker for each cue to go back and forth, but I have a problem that when I want to change the tempo of one cue, it ruins the syncing of the rest of the cues that...

Hi peeps, I've only recently gotten back into composing and for some reason offered my services to a mate who was doing a feature film. I've put up a few things on another forum but don't really get the critical (i.e. tear it to shreds) feedback I need. Anyway, here are a few scenes if anyone...

My latest composition, which was inspired by Jerry Goldsmith's score from "The Mummy", as well as John William's music from the Indiana Jones series!

I am looking for Orchestrators and String Quartets for recording Film scores. Location is not a bar. Thank you.

Hi, Is there anyone who uses analog summing for film / tv scores? I'm considering x-desk or a sigma, but think that maybe it's hard with stems and tweaks? Thanks!

Hi guys, really excited to put up the first few tracks from my latest soundtrack work. The score is primarily a string quartet, with layers of Spitfires Evos and LABS range. Also lots of bowed/padded guitars. All comments welcome!

Has anyone subscribed to the Mix with the Masters site and watched the Alan Meyerson tutorials?

Hey there everybody! *wow that sounds like a cartoon.. maybe it's just me?* How many of you guys rebuild your templates after Cubase updates? I know I do! As much time as it takes, I've found rebuilding your template*s* from scratch eliminates most chances of a bug or kink being brought over...

A while back on my Facebook page, I did a short series of posts called "Composing For Film". One of the topics I got asked about and posted was why laying when using samples is so important. I'm sure there will be people new to composing, so I figured I'd share here. If you already know this...
