"I did a feature film and about 16 trailer cuts recently. The trailers were painful, dont do it unless u get paid for it :). Overall quite an enjoyable experience once you take money out of the equation. Its not my main source of income so i could…"

"I use Cakewalk (now Bandlab) Sonar Platinum as my DAW. My music is exclusively VST/DAW based, no live stuff (yet). My primary VST libs these days are by Spitfire Audio, a UK based firm. They are absolutely gorgeous. They take a bit of a learning…"

"Good base for building on! Would love to hear ur progress as u add stuff :) Vn"

"Hi Ashley (Hopefully like others) i hit 'writers block' that can manifest itself as - stuck with an idea that works and cant find a new direction for my piece or nothing good comes to mind after repeatedly watching a shot or scene or…"
