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.

Hello everyone, could anyone recommend an excellent mixing course suitable for orchestral music, film scoring, or game music? Or, Alex, would you be interested in creating a course on this topic?

Hey dear music people, I am currently in the process of recording the videos for my new course Cinematic Percussion and the course is now available in early access. So, first off: ⚠️⚠️⚠️ If you are an Audio Artist Rise Premium Member or got the Audio Artist Academy Gold Membership, you are all set! You will get access in the next hours. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ The first video(s) will also drop within the next hours. If you're only interested in the course itself, here is my offer: Right now you can get in for the ridiculously low price of 49 EUR only. As soon as more videos are uploaded the price will increase. If you are interested, you can check out additional information here: Cinematic Percussion (Early Access) In this course I will show you everything you need to know to write convincing cinematic percussion arrangements. Struggling with Cinematic Percussion? - Your arrangement and grooves don't sound cinematic? - Your percussions are basically loops of four bars that you copy throughout the entire track and they sound boring and lifeless? - You have problems coming up with new ideas and inspiration? - The more you add, the more messy your arrangement and sound becomes? Here's what you'll learn: - How to create dense and juicy sounding cinematic percussion arrangements that don't clutter your mix. - How to sculpt the sound needed for your current project. No matter if it's soft supporting percussion layers or intense and dramatic "walls of sound." - Everything you need to know about rhythm. From basics, to complex rhythms. - How to accelerate or decelerate a groove, how to write driving patterns. - Everything you need to know about standard 3/4 or 4/4 grooves up to odd meter and metric modulation. - How to turn every existing sample library that you own into your own custom material. Sounds great, then feel free to enroll → RIGHT HERE In case you are interested in the Premium Program or the Gold Membership, send me a private message.
