Heyho everyone, first of all, thanks so much for voting on the most recent post. What was it about? As I said, please don't overthink it, because we just wanted to check what category we would like to start first ... simply because we have to start somewhere and there will be all four! :) With this being said, I want to introduce Cinematic Music, a guest course by Ariel Yznardo. Ariel is a great and versatile music composer who, among other projects, works for Bleeding Fingers and Really Slow Motion. If someone understands romantic, epic, modern and classical styles of music, then it is him. Here is, how things will start rolling. The course is now open as early access and does NOT contain anything for now. Even the sections are incomplete but the first videos will roll out within the next couple of days. Ariel will deep dive into common structures, melody types, his approach to templates, arrangement and all the goodies you need to write Cinematic Music. Finally, he will jump into writing music for the four different styles as mentioned above - of course, as for the poll, he will start with "Epic." 🚀 Please be aware that this will not be a notation or sheet music course. All will happen in the piano roll and inside Cubase. As a thank you for early supporters we will make this course available for 69 USD and then, depending on the added content, gradually move up the price. In short, if you grab it fresh & hot and support us including a bit of patience, you will have a big advantage, because this course will also end somewhere around in the 179-249 USD region. Cinematic Music can already be ordered in the Classroom directly. No coupon or any external links needed. I also want to address something briefly. This is a guest course, so we can't make this accessible for free to program or pass owners. If you do the math, it wouldn't work out by instantly paying someone thousands of USD upfront to give around 70 people access to it. I can explain this a bit deeper if you want, but logically it wouldn't work out, especially if, at one point, there would be more program members and guest courses in the future.

Hi beautiful artists and hello to you Cinematic Music Course students. To the latter, this post is for you. As you can see, theres a step-by-step track creation module for an epic track in the course to show you a basic method for writing. Now, my plan was next to begin work writing fully produced tracks and then thoroughly breaking down for you in each of the 4 styles (Epic, Modern Orchestral, Film/Romance/Emotional and Golden-Age Cinema music style; similar to the way Alex does it in his trailer course with the Chaos Theory tracks). However, as I was planning for this, a question came to mind: Do you prefer the breakdown-walkthrough method (which takes longer to make but allows me to write far more polished professional level tracks such as the ones I make for my clients)? Or, do you prefer the step-by-step, build-from scratch method for each style (which is faster, but less polished as I would never send music that I made in 2 or 3 hours to a client unless I was on some extremely tight deadline)? In short: Breakdown-Walkthrough Method will help you peer into a fully built and produced track, but without the step by step process of seeing how it was built (I´ll still break it down part by part though, of course). Step-by-step will show you the process of writing in each style on the fly, but the resulting track will serve more of a demonstration process. What do you prefer? Eager to hear your thoughts!

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is posted here, but David Kudell made a very good Negative Track Delay database for all composers. So I am sharing the link here if any of you missed it. If you found out more please share under this post.
