I see some of my favorite composers and mentors using Cubase for their workflow. I have Ableton live 12 and now wish i would have gone with Cubase. Am i worried about something i shouldn't right now?

Hey guys, first of all, I have been on the road for the last couple of days so there was bit of radio silence from my end and I am sorry about that. However, I am back in the studio ready to rumble. 🚀 Now, THANK YOU!! 🥳🥳🥳 We made it to 1000 members! In fact we are already on the way to hit 1100 :) This all wouldn't have been possible without you guys, so thank you so much! I am still thinking about the best way on how to celebrate this, so if you have any ideas let me know 👇 Now, what's the plan for the next weeks? I am currently in the concept of, finally, releasing a new course that will dedicated to everything regarding creating mockups. Basic stuff such as dynamics, CC commands, music theory, most instrument categories (orchestral, choirs, rock, drums, hybrid stuff, synths, basic audio recording), DAW settings and tips, how to finish tracks, my personal approach, how to work efficient, etc. I am aiming towards building my biggest course module so far to get you generally going with everything around creating solid mockups and tracks. ... and yes, if you are an Audio Artist Rise Member, you will get access to it for free! For everyone else interested in this course only, I would again introduce the course with an early access offer. Meaning, the course will be built throughout the next weeks, but in return you get in for just a fraction of the price and be locked in, no matter the final price. So, thanks so much again for all your support and let me know what you think?

I wanted to talk about something that’s super important but often overlooked: self-belief. The reason I’m writing this is that I’ve seen so many talented producers get stuck not because they lack skills, but because they don’t believe in themselves. It’s something I’ve struggled with too, and I think it’s crucial to address it. Believing in yourself is key in this game. It’s what fuels your creativity and keeps you pushing through the tough spots. Self-belief is about trusting your abilities. It’s that inner voice that says, “You got this.” But we all face challenges like self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Negative feedback and comparing ourselves to others can knock us down. It’s part of the journey, though. To build and maintain self-belief, start with positive affirmations. Tell yourself you can do it. Celebrate the small wins – every little achievement counts. Focus on your strengths and set realistic goals. Don’t be afraid to fail; see it as a learning experience. Building self-belief isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a continuous process, but totally worth it. Believe in your journey and your unique voice. Today, I’m your inner voice: You’ve got this!

Curious what people are using for nice rich cinematic cymbal swells? I get okay sounds with what I have, but I know there has to be some better options out there. Most of what I have ends up too bright and I end up pasting in the same samples I've used for years. :-/ They do the job, but I'm looking for that rich velvety cymbal swells that works for epic tracks and sweeping landscape shots.
