1. Do you care more about getting loop-able tracks or one's that take you on an emotional story?
Emotional tracks require proper event in the game making it hard to match or use. I care more with loopable tracks so they could be played repeatedly depending on game length.
2. Is the number of tracks or the number of minutes more important to you when looking to download/purchase a music pack?
Assuming track length = track quality, I would choose the latter. But if track length = repeating tones, I choose the former.
3. Would you prefer paying $10 for a high quality music pack or rather opt for the free pack of lesser quality?
I prefer the latter.
4. Do you have any interest in getting the individual instrument tracks for a song? (These are also known as Stems & are used in dynamic audio engines. Allowing you to personally fade in & out drums, synthesizers & orchestral instruments at your desire to suit the scene.)
I don't know what to use those so no.
5. When looking for a game composer to craft custom music for your game do you look primarily for one on itch or elsewhere?
I don't have specific place to look for. They usually come offer their services here and in facebook groups.
