Nifty tips and helpfull hints....
Delivering media for any project in the media realm super tricky....
Spotting a scene is tricky....but the really tricky part is making sure that your music fits perfectly with your spotting scene notes....now my recommendation is always to create a quick time movie with the cue....since most projects are constantly being re edited its important that you show the producers and film editors how your score looks to picture rather then just delivering cues...it gives things a better context........
Best inexpensive high quality mics around!!!!!
So you set up a home studio and you've just realized that you have no mics...and you can't afford to spend 20 grand on a couple of Neumans well fear not! check out Studio Projects Microphones they rock!!!!!!!! www.studioprojectsusa.com/

Sunny days but I'm stuck inside composing...
80 Degrees!!!! un heard of hear in SF....however it happened this week just as I was knee deep, working on a score for a Documentary/feature about the first female president of Liberia....
As the tempature soared, so did my stress level as I frantically tried to incorporate all the new notes that I had recieved from the producers...but as it so happens all of the sunny days spent in my studio paid off.....at last I feel as though I'm in sync with the projects vision......
I did manage to go for a few bike rides through the Presidio......across the bridge over into the Marin Headlands.......
fun fun fun.....
So I guess I should spend some time talking about things as they relate to my craft.........most recently I've been spending time wondering what in the heck's going on with my royalty checks as more viewers turn toward internet video on demand versus are current draconian system of cable network broadcasts....I plan on devoting-soon hopefully- an entry related to all of this....New Stuff...but for now...back to notes, mixes, stems and delivery......
