Megatrax Blog

When they aren’t working on content for Megatrax libraries, the composers we work with are setting standards in their industry and working with some of the top names in their fields. Every month, we’ll track down three of them to catch up on what they’re working on beyond Megatrax and what they’ve got coming up. This month, we talked with Jorge Calandrelli and Robert Irving, and we got a some great news from Kurt Oldman.
