In the past film scoring was done 'by hand'. It was a process that started at the spotting session and ended with the delivery of 2 inch reels which were then 'physically' mixed into the film. Today, the process begins the same with the spotting session - and then everything looks different. The role of technology has enhanced the process to allow for much greater flexibility, versatility and is much more accessible to those who can't afford the live orchestra. In order to minimize the amount of text on this page, I am focusing on the role of each key component, explaining its function and how it can enhance your experience of coming up with a great score.

Now, before you go browsing through each section, I want to explain one important fact: this information isn't designed to give you the complete science behind the topics discussed. Instead, I want to give you some very practical knowledge to help you understand the important principles to help you achieve the maximum results from the time you spend here.
