It has to be interesting creating music from scratch like your friend Pady.

I know when I am editing, the tracks are boring with no music or sound. When I am searching for music, once I find something, I play the track at its source while watching the sequence in my editing timeline. If it seems good, I obtain it, along with a few others. Then I lay down multiple sound tracks to a particular sequence, then listen to each one individually as the timeline plays. I pick which one has the right feel although I sometimes ask for other's opinions too.
