I'm a huge Nine Inch Nails fan and Trent Reznor/Atticus fan. The 1st Episode of THE BEAR, to me, was so f*cking brilliant. So much of the story was being told through the music, genius: https://www.avclub.com/the-bear-trent-reznor-atticus-ross-music-season-3......

The Fantom is a great keyboard to have! I've got a Jupiter x and it's like having every Roland synth I ever had and sold.

I cheeked this Summit out - very informative.
For Composers who (more often than not - including me) have to mix their own creations. What are your thoughts?
I do something similar. I use a Bose SoundLink Micro to check my mixes. I wouldn't call it a Sh*tbox by any means but it's basic enough for my purposes.
I always check things in mono somewhere along the way. I've got a pair of auratones out in the garage. I should probably bring them back in here!
I remember an Engineer in Nashville, TN in his Indie studio doing a test at low and regular volumes. It's a nice way to test your mix / mastering also.
Hey, Composers!

OMG, SAME! I love Trent and NIN. I should have realized that he was the one behind that beautiful music. I've already watched the episode twice now.

It's so cool when music becomes so integral to a show. I've always been a huge fan of NIN (and Elfman!). And how about that Eddie Vedder cover of English Beat's "Save It For Later". Just all around some awesome shows and music coming out right now.

In that tune....you gotta love that line; that tension/release. V to VI on the first root moving VII to I of the next root and rinse/repeat. It can go on forever and hold your attention. Simple genius.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is such an underrated Score I believe. I think some of the more interesting aspects are when you can't really tell which instrument is being used. It makes each piece even more unique.
