I bought Dorico 5 upgrade this week. In the program there's Learning videos, and I watched this one first, since I've used Dorico 3.5 doing scoring. It's really informative with Hit Points and adding meter to make the Hit Points work a lot better ( than digging into the time code fix).

Been rewatching all 5 seasons/156 episodes of the twilight zone. About halfway through. Quite a few episodes have no credits for music and in the imdb entry there are multiple music composer entries with 'uncredited stock music'. I assume they were paid. Now we are talking 1959 - 1964 for these epis...
Expand postThere are many great projects where there are multiple composers involved. As long as pay and credits are equitable, I don't really see the issue with it.
As Brandy Camille suggests, I don't see a problem with it, as long as all are credited and paid. I might want to make sure we get along well before starting the Project....

Expand postPerfect teaching Maurice Vaughan and perfect timing.
Thank you for sharing, Maurice Vaughan!
You're welcome, Ashley Renee Smith. Samuel and Michael give excellent advice and insight.
I'm 30 years late to the party, but what beautiful writing from Philippe Sarde. Bravo, Sir!
Thank you for sharing, Linwood Bell! I've never seen this film before.
I recently took my oldest nephew to his first "big kid" concert for his birthday. We went to go see a live-to-film performance of the score to "The Nightmare Before Christmas." He had just turned 7 a month prior and it took him a while to realize that the music we were hearing wasn't recorded lol We...

Last night I enjoyed myself at the Crowded House in concert at Cardiff Castle. As a family we have a long-lasting love of their music and so my son and daughter bought myself and my soulmate tickets to the show.
I have valued Neil Finn’s mastery of songwriting, but here I want to focus on one elemen...
Expand postYeah, Crowded House definitely has powerful Lyrics and actually, their Biggest Hit, Don't Dream It's Over, has one of my 80s ANTHEMS.....
Don't Let Them WIN!!!!!!
Thanks for Sharing....
Miquiel Banks thank you, Miquiel!!
Great tip, Geoff Hall ("If you are writing dialogue, learn from the songwriters and poets to edit well, until you have distilled that dialogue into an emotional force"). I've learned that less is more...
Expand commentMaurice Vaughan thank you, Maurice and indeed, when writing a monologue you slip from the poetical to the rhetorical. It’s all about the fullness of language. I want it to grab people’s attention and...
Expand commentYou're welcome, Geoff Hall. You're right about monologues. I've never heard of Crowded House. I'll have to listen to them when I write a script. Have a great weekend too.
I finally got around to watching this last night. Some of the reviews weren't the greatest, but I really enjoyed it and I always enjoy Alexandre Desplat. What's not to love?...Beautiful writing and orchestration.

Expand postIncredible score, Linwood Bell! It reminds me of family-friendly movies I watched growing up.
Maurice Vaughan He's great. Benjamin Button and The Shape of Water are a couple favorites. Good movies, too. :)
I've been meaning to watch The Shape of Water, Linwood Bell. I saw a little of Benjamin Button (I think the opening scene, maybe on YouTube). That movie's on my watchlist too. Looking forward to heari...
Expand commentYes, Linwood Bell , great orchestration all the way through. I like the transitions with the strings and oboe. During school(s) - I took a Brass class and learned horn - which is also in sections of t...
Expand commentAbsolutely beautiful, Linwood Bell! I haven't watched The Boys in the Boat yet, but I'll have to move it up my list.
I had a company show interest in my music samples (SoundCloud) and I'm looking into making / creating a longer version(s).
It seems like a small undertaking, though ... I'm up for it ! :~)
This is my dilema; I found the midi / Notation version and the Logic Pro version. The notation version is the s...
Expand postThanks, Maurice. I still need to do the extended work on those instrumentals. (It would be good to know what a good length is for Sync / movies. Standard song length (3:15-3:30) ?? Some Syncs are good at 2:30 +, right ??
Some Docs are probably better at 4- 5 mins ?
You're welcome, Kerry Kennard. Sorry, I'm not sure.
A piece at 2:30 to 3:00 is good and think of edit points so someone can chop a 30 or 60 out of it for commercial work. You should join something like TAXI and force yourself to do a brief or two a mon...

"Jon and Andy are bursting to talk about Jerry Goldsmith’s score for the 1979 sci-fi horror classic Alien! How much of what Goldsmith wrote didn’t make it into the movie, and why? What musical reptile did he unleash into his orchestra? And, will our hosts finally consider couples therapy?"

Expand postLeonardo Ramirez , you're welcome! I like too these kind of podcasts.
"Art of the Score" I think is another good podcast about movie scores.
This is a link to their website if you wish to check it out:...
Expand commentThanks Florin Şumălan - I'll definitely check it out. You guys did an amazing job on the "Alien" score podcast. VERY well done! Very immersive.
Kerry Kennard , I've seen too some of the movies scored by Jerry Goldsmith.
Leonardo Ramirez , I liked too this episode from "Settling the Score" podcast and I think they have other interesting episodes. I listened a few from their list.
Yeah I’ll be checking out some of the other episodes, Florin Şumălan.

AI is a great tool, though we need to be wise how it’s used now in the 21st century.
There needs to be more Copyright protection Laws in place, as this topic and technology grows over the next 5 to 10 years.
