    A few weeks ago, I was privileged to speak at the 2012 NAMM Film, Television and Game Composer Panel with fellow composers David Lawrence and Steve Ouimette. The panel was moderated by Sample Logic co-CEO Keith Robinson.

    The four of us spoke about a ton of extremely relevant and timely issues for composers of all types for about 60 minutes. During the main discussion, we touched on topics including working with orchestras, the evolution of our writing and producing workflows, handling demanding schedules, working remotely, producing accurate and convincing MIDI mockups, deriving inspiration from various sources, blending samples with live recordings, the responsibilities of creative artists, where music creation technology is headed, and much more. Following the main discussion, we took audience questions for 45 minutes (not included in the recording below).

    Here is the entire hour-long main discussion from the 2012 NAMM Film, Television and Game Composer Panel.
