Ian Arber interview
Film/Game music composition is a great industry. If you’re good enough you will get jobs. Everyone wants to be a “film composer” or “game composer”, but the fact of the matter is 90% of these “composers” are not good enough and stumble at the first (second or third) hurdle.
Adam DiTroia interview
If someone asks for revisions, do them. We have to remember it's their "baby". We may think we nailed a music cue or sound effect. But for whatever reason the client may not. It's their call :) Above all, stay passionate and excited about what you do! We truly are fortunate to make music and sounds for a living. Or, if it's not your living yet, you're still very fortunate to have your gifts and talents.

Asbjoern Andersen (Epic Sound) interview
Remember the value of custom content. There are so many ways of finding sound for your projects these days – but in my mind (and I might be slightly biased), there’s nothing better than using custom-created sound. It gives you material that’s created to exactly match your requirements and fit with your project and vision. It also gives you a unique brand asset that you can use going forward.
