I can vividly remember the days when I had to have my completed soundtracks physically delivered; patiently waiting for the music to arrive at the producer’s door.
However, in 2008 a rigorous production schedule for a PBS Television series “forced” me to use the internet exclusively for music delivery. Since then I’ve been able to work on a piece of music until “the very last minute,” in order to get it just right, uploading it a few hours before the producer/editor needs it. The result is a piece of music which has truly “hit the mark” due to the extra time allowed for input and revisions.
Another great advantage of digital music delivery is the zero loss of quality factor. I am able to send WAV and AIFF files of the highest fidelity – far greater than that of CD if necessary.
And distance, well that has practically become a nonissue. For years I’ve been working both physically close to and far from directors, producers and editors and have found there to be no difference when it comes to efficiency and the final product.
