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.

The Unfinished interview

If you're interested in synth sound design, the best thing to do is pick one synth and learn it inside out. Whilst there are an enormous number of softsynths on the market and their architecture varies, many of the lessons you'll learn by focusing on that one synth can be applied to the others

Deane Ogden interview

Never ever lose sight of why you became a musician first. Work in this business for any length of time and you’ll start to forget the reason for getting into it to begin with. That’s suicide, as far as I’m concerned.

Function loops interview

If you like to produce sample packs, music, sounds or whatever, you need to know, that market is super competitive these days. Also it’s not easy to enter the good shops and make the connections, BUT you NEED to try and never give up if get rejected once.

Eanan Patterson interview

As composers, creators, I understand that versatility in your writing is key. Mastering a variety of genres can only improve your chances of success in an industry that exists primarily with brief work. Saying that, make sure you take the time to be yourself.

Robin Hoffmann interview

Learn as much about music as you can. My personal approach is that if I'm working as a composer, I want to know everything I can about music. I love reading and studying music, even when it is way outside of what I'm doing. In my opinion, everything that you learn or realize will add to your subconscious voice as a composer.

Sam Hulick interview

Always be open to new styles and diversify, but be REALLY good at a couple styles. Always study music when you’re able, with a teacher or on your own; you’re never too old to do that! Often, artists can feel like they’ve hit a plateau. Those are great times to scrap the way you do things, and learn other ways.
