The beard is on it’s game, no matter what my friend. You know I live the glasses. I have them in clear lol Congratulations!! I have learned so much from you and can’t thank you enough!!!!!!!
I saw a recent livestream from a top, top, top composer, grammy level, deconstructing their own rejected and accepted underscore music attempts (instrumental cues) and their direct message to viewers, to fellow composers, is to copy the tv-film team's references as close as legally possible in order to gain track (cue) approval, and to not waste time trying artistry or creativity or adding a personal touch etc etc. Let me repeat that. The advice of this top composer in gaining accepted cues as underscore is to JUST COPY the given references AS CLOSE AS LEGALLY POSSIBLE. This actually mirrors the evidence from careful listening to the true track forwards accepted by music agent with yellow car logo (on the "forwards blog"), rather than carefully reading, and responsibly following, the words in the brief, specifically the sentences which state, sometimes in all caps, "do not copy the references in any way shape or form". So what I learned is that the most fundamental library production music advice ("do not copy", "use craft", etc) is bogus. Therefore best learning would be in aural/transcription skills, to rapidly listen, shorthand notate, and then COPY the reference tracks. Maybe you should outsource your RUclips Shorts production? Perhaps subscribers are not growing because the artificially-forced bubble of lockdown-era creation has ended? There are other music-composer channels which had rapid growth and exploding patreons and now seem to me to have flatlined or are shrinking. Bebop surely did kill jazz. And the jazz studies B.A. degree major killed all musicians musical abilities, because of teaching to the audition/tests, rather than teaching vocational skills of creating interesting music; if they had musical abilities they would realize they have no audience (in jazz or anywhere) and would create some music which people actually want to listen to. As of a couple weeks ago (i.e. post election) I've decided I must expatriate the U.S. as soon as possible, no joke, so perhaps invite everybody to live up in Canada?
