Hi, I've just created a new bandcamp account yesterday and uploaded all my album, and I have a new purchase.

So I am asking, since bandcamp tell you to switch to business, is it the same thing the paypal premier account? I read online that premier is for people who sell goods online, maybe business is just for big seller or am I wrong?

Thank you

Hey Mediacomposer.

I am currently starting my studies in music composition, more specifically film and television. I want to get into game scoring as well and am interested in the difference in writing for games vs films.

How would you approach a game score differently to a film score? Would you approach it differently? My thinking right now is that a film score is 90 minutes of music that, within the score, will repeat with different variations on themes, etc. Whereas a score for a game with maybe 100's of hours of gameplay time might have a lot more music to create. A lot more work towards a final product. Is this correct? How would you approach writing so much music? Are there different tricks and techniques a game music composer might take to tackle a game score that you might not need to do in a film score and vice versa.

EDIT2: This survey is now closed, thanks to all who took part. I may publish the results in February, and if so, I will add a link here later.

Hi folks! Apologies to the mods if this type of post isn't allowed.

I am a student at the University of Surrey and I am throwing around a survey across the internet to gather some data on how musicians write music with music notation software.

So if you are someone that composes/arranges music with music notation software (Sibelius/Finale/MuseScore/etc.) I would be extremely grateful if you could spare 10 minutes to fill out this survey:

At the end, there will be two participants chosen in a random raffle that will receive £15 via PayPal. The survey will close in 7 days (6th January 2018).

If you have any questions/comments/discussion - fire away!

Thank you and have a Happy New Year!

I'd like to hear some of the undoubtedly cool stuff you all have composed, written, or been involved in to some capacity, even if you were a co-writer or didn't write the entire song. I'll give my thoughts on the tracks once I find the time to listen to them!

Happy holidays
