FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

YES. You can go at your own pace. Don't need to follow the course's schedule. The course materials do not expire and you'll have access to them for life. Even for the future course updates and improvements!

You can do it a bit faster, or take as much time as you want/need.

Or you could even take advantage of the discount now, and be doing the course later. The chat sessions get recorded and you can watch the replay whenever you want.

Also, you'll have access to the course materials for life, as well as to the Facebook group AND the weekly chats. You can join any weekly chat that you want, even if your course has finished.

Marc uses Cubase. But, all the concepts that you'll learn apply across the board, no matter what sequencer you use. In fact, more than a 1/2 of our students are Logic users.

The same concept about plugins. You can learn and apply all the concepts taught in the course using any basic plugins. Once you're in the course, you'll have a better idea of what is the next plugin that you wanna buy. Plus, you'll be around a great community of composers who already own those plugins and can give you valuable feedback or advice what library to invest in next.

Also, when you join Mixing for Composers you'll get access to a private Facebook group. The Facebook group is a great place to ask questions if you get stuck. That's where you're really going to get a lot of extra help and encouragement when you're stuck or when you're trying to apply the concepts learned in the course to your own DAW, both from Dennis and from other composers who can speak to your exact issues.
