Thanks for the fast track man, once again good advice all around. Good stuff to know even if you're not planning on developing for someone.
I don't think you're on enough Power of Three teams.
me neither :3

no need for the "aww-gee-shucks" attitude, you've earned your notable marks ;D
You seem to pump out a fair amount of tracks, and have produced custom scores for a number of games. What is your source for all this inspiration? How often (if ever) do you run in to tracks with the developers where its unusually difficult to produce?
Look forward to #5; thanks for writing this man!

Truth be told a few of those tracks were not "inspired". As you practice writing music for games you learn various ways to express an emotion even when you yourself are not feeling it. For example, having big lush whole note chord progressions with some heavily reverbed distant pounding, is almost sure way to represent omnipotent energy, throw in some dissonance you have some great evil.

some examples
When the developer isn't quite sure what they want or how they want to explain it to you that's when things get REALLY difficult to produce, especially if that developer has something in his head. That's actually a good point to write about, i'll create another unit for it, thanks!
Short story to solving that is ask a lot of questions. Never walk away and start on something until you're 100% sure you have what you need to make it relevant.
Also I fast tracked #5 for you, I hope that helps let me know if there are any signs you see yourself you'd like me to elaborate on, it's not an exhaustive list.
