First of all how did you find a gig for writing crime style cues for TV?
Omnisphere would be a great place to start. I've been watching a lot of X-files lately and their use of string scoring is fantastic.
Good luck,
Dirk

Thanks. I didn't find a gig per se but most production libraries have tension cues in them.Dirk Diggler wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 3:46 pm First of all how did you find a gig for writing crime style cues for TV?

I really think anyone doing music for video should check out Newfangled Audio’s Generate (or free Pendulate) for brilliant, low end bass sounds and interesting textures that modulate and breathe. It sounds very unique and it instantly adds a sense of drama to any kind of music, especially cinematic styles.

Sonokinetic's Ostinato Noir has recently gotten my attention
(I have Contemporary Drama Toolkit, Omnisphere, Heavyocity Novo, and ZebraHZ, as well, but if you are seeking tension & "crime," you owe it to yourself to check out Ostinato Noir. Yes, it is a phrase library, but these are "killer" -- excuse the pun)
