Hi, i write mainly electronic music and tbh my music theory is pretty bad but i do know there are certain rules that the majority of main stream music uses for its catchy chord stuctures, leads and motfis and what nots. I have picked upa few off these rule such as when doing a "Question & Answer" melody or baseline it is alwasy best to end the question on the 5th since it raises tension becuase it sounds like the peice of music is not finished and for the answer it always best to finish on the root note to make it sound like it is answered. Its these sort of tips that took me years to find out such as ending on the dominant and finishing on the root. But, i want to know other tips and tricks people use, but with sub dominants and mediants and the other parts of the scales. and the other trick that composers use in modern music! what tricks have you heard being used on the radio quite a lot? some more than others? or which tricks do you hear in evrey song, bridges, choruses. Thanks in Advanced!

Hello Jonathan I have kind of a weird problem with your soundset: running Vista 32bit Sibelius 5.25 and Kontakt 3.0.1. Opening the EWQLSO Gold Edition library in Kontakt 3 standalone is no problem. However when using your soundset in Sibelius it returns a message "the content you are trying to load is not registered (please be sure to start the application that came with the content at least once)". This only seems to be a problem with autoloading the patches since loading them manually is possible without getting an error message. I would appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance bbs

The Armed Forces Medley is well done, but I must ask that you correct the lyrics to the Air Force Song. The correct words are "climbing high, into the sun", not "flying high, into the sun". You can verify this here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_U.S._Air_Force_(song). I know--the original was also wrong--and I corrected it on my copy. Cheers
