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.

Hey beautiful artists :) Adding live recordings of musicians or natural sounds into your track, even in small amounts, can create a fresh, human element that elevates the entire piece. Live sounds bring a kind of "realness" that samples and synthesized instruments sometimes can't capture fully. A single live instrument—like a cello line or subtle guitar—adds unique textures, imperfections, and nuances that bring depth and warmth, even to simple music. Plus, a live recording can breathe life into your track, helping listeners feel connected in a way that might be harder to achieve with purely digital sounds. Give it a try! Let me know in the comments below if you've tried this or would like to try it. :) Best, Ariel
