Budgeting Your Production Time; Video Game Music with Ben Burnes

I just had the pleasure of talking with composer Ben Burnes on the Music Production Podcast. Ben is cranking out music for videos games, albums, and live streams on YouTube. He has some very powerful insights about getting work done and staying focused.  

In the show, we hit on inspirations, techniques, and some ways to make the most of our music-making time.

Since we recorded the show, Ben released a new free Ableton Live Pack. It's percussion sounds made from various things in his basement. Watch the video below and download it here.

The Basement Audio Sample Pack contains 85 original audio samples recorded from various parts of my basement. This pack includes plastic crinkles, metallic clangs, paper, mechanisms, and the sounds of a NES. None of these samples have compression or EQ on them, they are the raw WAV recording.
