Hi, I would appreciate some advice on how to find somebody to compose music for my short film.
I intend to submit it to film festivals and would love to have an actual human to make the music.
I would appreciate any responses.
Thanks.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for very high quality, expressive and “alive” orchestral/world instrument VSTs.

Mainly interested in:
- violins / strings
- expressive flutes and woodwinds
- Middle Eastern instruments
- Japanese instruments
- organic / emotional / atmospheric textures
- rare or soulful instruments in general

I’ve been trying SINE Player librariesand different Kontakt libraries…. but honestly they still didn’t fully hit what I’m looking for.

I’m less interested in “epic trailer orchestra” and more in something that feels deeply human, organic, intimate and emotional.

Are there higher-end plugins/libraries/platforms I may not be aware of?

Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I’m a young composer currently scoring an indie horror short film and looking for someone genuinely interested in orchestral / cinematic / hybrid score mixing & mastering.

This project leans more toward film-score style orchestration and atmospheric sound rather than standard electronic production, so I’m specifically hoping to connect with someone who enjoys or has experience with cinematic/orchestral work.

I’m mainly looking for a collaborative, portfolio-building opportunity (IMDb credit / future referrals / long-term creative connection), especially since this is an indie project.

What I’d love: Orchestral / hybrid / cinematic mixing interest Good sense of depth, space, and emotional balance Open communication Passion for film music

If you’re building your portfolio, love film scores, or want to collaborate, feel free to DM me with any relevant examples or just introduce yourself.

Thanks!

the first time i attempted networking was 10 years ago in a different city under a different name and gender and developed a bad reputation for a number of reasons and one of them being i came on way too strong and expected a job from the first interaction with directors etc.

today i went to part of a film festival and followed helpful networking advice. i got followed by a film and tv group on instagram. it was hard but i am so glad i put myself out there. i have read that when maintaining relationships i have to be helpful. what ways can i be helpful to the contacts i hope to connect with?

I did a full orchestral session a while back and somehow a very sour sounding wrong note got past everyone at the session. It’s in a very exposed section with just a woodwind solo and strings. It’s in the viola, but It’s bled into the other strings. Thankfully, it’s not in the soloist’s mic too much, but it’s just painful in the other mics. Are there any tips for how I can edit this in post?

Hello I have hit some roadblocks with my M1 MacBook Air and I feel the need to upgrade as it’s very slow on my bigger projects which can be easily 100-200 tracks plus. I want to upgrade to the M5 MacBook Pro but I was wondering if I should get more ram or will 24 gb be enough and should I get more the 18 Core CPU 20-Core GPU. Keep in mind I also want to do some more video stuff as well and I am looking to do some more work in gaming as well. I don’t want to spend too much money if I don’t need it but will do it if it will make my life easier and it means I can get more work done efficiently. If any of you have experience using the M5 MacBook Pro I’d also love your thoughts on it as well! Another note I love the flexibility of a MacBook being able to bring it into sessions if need be and I primarily use logic but I’ve also been considering the move to cubase or reaper as well.

I've been composing for about 2 years and I feel advanced enogh to start scoring for small projects, but I don't know how to find them. Do any of you know how to find them?

Hello! I hope this post is allowed. I'm a mix engineer specialising in classical and film music. I'm wondering if anyone is looking for help mixing and mastering their work?
