Mr. Quimper,

Can you please post a link to some of your work?

Thanks!

I come from a visual arts background. I've spent the majority of my life cultivating skills as an illustrator, not a musician. Something happened around the time I turned 20 and before I knew it I ended up with two degrees in Sound Design and had scored/done post sound on over a dozen short films. ...

If Jerry Goldsmith had followed "the rules" we would not have "Planet Of The Apes". If John Williams had followed "the rules" we would not have "Cantina Band". I could not disagree more even if I wanted to. Do you have any substance to back up those outrageou...

Frodo - I'm also a happy owner of Altiverb. I know that I don't use it to its fullest potential. I can see, though, how many instances of Altiverb can help create the "depth" of sound. I can also see how many instances of Altiverb can hugely tax the CPU! LOL! (Although the newer Altiverb ...

[quote="MIDI Life Crisis"]You can do it all in one chunk. I just like to work in separate chunks to keep the cues separate in case they change. Then I create a master project. And yes, by all means, if you can do the mix, DO THE MIX! Good sound editors are a rare find, IMO. Mediocre ones a...

I'm self-taught but have studied a lot of scores by the great masters. I probably make a lot of 'mistakes' but when I hear them played by real orchestras they sound the way I intended them to and I don't get too many complaints. So the answer for me is there is no book. If it sounds good, it is goo...
