WARNING - MARIAM SEABROOK - OPUS CONNECT
WARNING: SCAM!!!! I would like to strongly warn you about a current scam that specifically targets composers. A few days ago, I received an email from a “Mariam Seabrook” at OPUS CONNECT requesting a 20-minute score for a documentary about electric vehicles. I received a contract and was supposed to be paid 8,000 CHF. After I submitted a first draft, 4,000 CHF was transferred to me, but it was withheld by a bank called northerntrustfiduciary.com for review due to international money laundering concerns. Now I’m supposed to transfer 306 € for verification and, later on, scan my ID and submit it via the website. This all seemed pretty strange to me!!! I looked into it further and was alerted to the scam by several sources. So, dear colleagues, please don’t fall for this extremely insidious scam!! Best regards, Andreas

I received that email too. And I confirm that it's a scam. I didn't go into business with them as it looked suspicious but I've heard this warning from various composers already.
Thank you for having me here!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Ken Stavis. I am from Bloomfield, Connecticut. I am a church musician - keyboard player - piano, Hammond organist - drummer who started out guitar. I am looking to get music into television, film and advertising. Before that what people didn’t know about me was/is that I love to watch and listen to humorous commercials on television and radio. Never thought about the music until I got into Sync Licensing.

Little Sounddesign Trick I discovered
I recently have been l experimenting with ways to create syntesizer sounds that are a little different than the ususal stock presets and though I share the process in short form. Im using a free Tool called Paul X stretch and feed my guitar into it, you can check the steps below. https://sonosaurus.com/paulxstretch/ Maybe it inspires you for ur next production

@Clemens Hackmack I think that these days sound design and music are blending more and more. If you want that hybrid orchestral style you hear in video games, you're on the right track. 👍 You'll need a good understanding of sound design. Even if you don't create the sound design yourself, you should know enough to predict what will happen in a scene so the music can either support it or stay out of the way.

@Clemens Hackmack One name that immediately came to my mind was Diego Stocco. He's a fantastic sound designer and composer, and he really lives for sound. I've never seen anything like his work before, and I take inspiration from how he treats sound. Here's his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DiegoStocco I also bought some of his courses and the experimental ideas he published a few years ago. I'm not sure if they're still available, but I can check my archives and see if I can find them.
What DAW are you folks using for film scoring?
I've personally tried to learn Ableton over the past year and I find it as unintuitive as any piece of software I've ever used. I play live as well as craft midi. What DAWs have you had success with?

I use Cubase. Works great 👍🏻

@Rob O I think it really depends on what you want to achieve. I know enough composers who work solely in Sibelius or Dorico for film scoring. However, if you want to polish the production and enrich it with musical sound design, audio tracks, etc., none of the music notation solutions is the best solution. For what you describe in your original post, I'd recommend Cubase or Logic. 👍
