I often have to create music to fit with finished visuals and graphics - this is how I did it on "Outside Source" for BBC News...#MusicProduction #Composer #SoundDesign #BehindTheSong #BBC News #Outside Source BBC #Ros Atkins

did you use any of the sounds from Spectrasonics Distorted Reality for the BBC theme? these sound familiar

Yes! Well spotted James, back in the AKAI sampler days too- with a fair amount of Eq and Compression, migrated onto Logic in 2001

This is brilliant! Would you be able to make music for News Now & Verified Live and pitch it to the BBC?

Ah, this answers my "chicken and egg problem" of which goes first: the visual or the music 😂 Is this always the case or do you ever create the music first then the visual comes later?

Usually a bit of both Muhammad 🙂

I love this. I love the main BBC one too. I've loved that since I first heard it! Thanks for sharing these videos!

Nice work! That bass sound gives me memory tingles from the good 'ol 'Lately Bass' preset on my old TX81Z 😎

Love those insights into sound design. May I request some on @SkyYaldaHakim Impact? my personal favourite :)
