DAVID FLACK - Published BMI Composer & Music Producer
Services Expanded!
 
We are adding PRO TOOLS to our recording, editing and mixing services. This software/hardware is the film music industry standard, and the interfaces with our existing, extensive sound libraries make this a natural step up!
 
We offer a wide range of sounds (over 400GB in our sound libraries) to suit a variety of budgets and tastes. Not everyone can afford a live 70-piece orchestra with vocal soloists and full choirs! We prefer EWQL libraries for demanding quality & huge selections, plus one-of-a-kind, unique & memorable sound signatures, background and foreground music. This is a wonderful resource for spotting music in film & TV and creating scratch tracks in advance of recording live musicians and singers. Scroll all the way down for details.
