Don't ever buy wireless headphones for music composing.

I wanted to cut the cord and get some headphones that didn't hurt my ears after 15 minutes or so. Also thought it would be nice to jam on some bass to songs without the corded headphones. So I bought these PowerBeats3 wireless headphones. Bad mistake! One word: Latency!

I used to write a lot of incidental music stings for spoken word recordings and then life took a turn and a few years down the road, I'm finding I really want to get back into it.



Can anyone offer the best advice for this type of music? I'm also keen to start songwriting. again, advice would be great.



Cheers.

Hello everybody

I've searched the forum but couldnt find a clear answer.



We run a studio here in Namibia, but most of the time we are busy arranging the stuff poeple are bringing to us.After that it goes on CD.Often they just give us a MIDI with a draft voice and let us work on that. Is it still arranging or co-composing?

Remuneration for video games music composing

As a composer for a major video games company, i'd like to exchange views and experiences with other musicians who have been exposed to the flat fee system vs royalties/rights system.

What is your experience, what's the rule, how do you manage that, with which results : is the "no rights with the highest fee" the most common final deal?
