Am I Wrong About Stock Music? (with Steven Beddall)

I recently had a chance to sit down with Steven Beddall of the Production Music Academy who’s found great success with stock music, and we discussed his journey from touring musician to composer, strategies behind making successful stock library cues, and how “royalty-free” might not be quite the dirty word I once thought.

Plus,  we take a listen to "Cursed," a horror tension cue written by 52 Cues Community member, George Cicci (https://soundcloud.com/evasdad).
