One thing that struck me was with the latest version of Adobe Premiere they bundled a lite version of Track Maker (forgive me if thats the wrong name). It was pretty nice in the fact that you could use it to make looped music scores based on how big a timeline you have or how many seconds you want it to run. Even gives you variations on mood. Only problem it the music was Very stock corporate video in nature. Personally loved what the program can do but I didn't like the canned sound especially when I'm trying to be cinematic. Me not being a musical composer all I can ever say to a composer is what feel I want to exude and the pace I'd like to have something that I could loop over and over, or start and finish. Perhaps have a beginning I could tack on, middle sections and an end. Parts of a soundtrack so the user could build a custom score to fit his or her needs. I'd like to hear powerful dynamic action music. Something heroic, uplifting. Dark action music for the antagonist. Warm and cold ambient sounds to fill the background. Chilling music as the story gets tense. A warm radiant theme for a romance. Overall I want it to sound cinematic, and have some emotion behind it. Hope these suggestions help.
