Are Audio Software Subscriptions Worth It?!

The Internet of things has meant an explosion of opportunity for composers, but with that companies have started to think of new ways of doing business and a new business model: software subscription services. Is it really all that bad?

RANT WARNING: I kind of go HAM on AVID!

Matt Bowdler | The Unfinished

Soundsets from Matt Bowdler have quickly become a staple in my synth toolkit, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to chat with the imagination behind The Unfinished.

Join us as we talk about sound design, creating synth presets, and what it's like to be on the production team for the Oscar winning soundtrack for Dune.

It's part of the "psychology of play" that makes us sit for hours in front of a computer screen making music that we hope might get picked up and heard.
