Here's another link with general info about film scoring. http://www.billyhalemusic.com/tips.html

The other thing I'd say is, perhaps after (or before) you've roughed out some melodies, etc., you might want to create a little temp track of music from other composers, along with old pieces that you've written for other projects. This will allow you to experiment very quickly with different styles of music and to learn what works and what doesn't and why. Temp tracks are very common in major film productions. They can help with feel, orchestration, tempo, style and texture decisions. Fortunately you're not dealing with dialog in this project, but temping out can still help.

Hi, Chris.

Can you detail exactly HOW to go about setting the tempo track to another composition? Thanks.
