FAQ image

I'm using ________ (name any sequencer here). Can I still take the course?

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.

Do I need to buy any plugin before taking this course?

Read the answer to the last question 👆

Also, once you enroll in this course, you can get access to discounts on many sample libraries and plugins! Just ask for a certificate of enrollment once you're in.

This course will pay for itself with the amount of money you'll save from the educational discounts you'll get! ;)

Is this course only in English?

Yes. The contents of this course are only in English at the moment.

How long will I have access to the course materials?

You’ll have access to the course materials for life.

Do I need a Mac to take this course? What type of computer do I need?

You don not need a Mac for this course. Marc uses a PC. Half of our Cinematic Composing students are Mac, the other half are PC.

Any computer, desktop or laptop, with an i5 or similar (i7 desired), 4-8Gb of RAM (16 desired), and 150Gb of free HDD storage for samples (SSD desired) will be enough to get you started. You can always upgrade later.

FREE*

Transform your life in 5 days. Become a composer. Starting from 0 knowledge. 

Spend about 1 hour per day. Be a composer by the end of the week.

HERE'S THE PLAN:

I’ll hold your hand as you compose your first song and I’ll take you step by step. One day at a time. One challenge at a time. 

And we’ll do this in a practical way. We’ll keep it simple and we won’t overthink it. I’ll put it simple for you. You just need to watch a 30 minutes lesson and put about 30 minutes of effort each day

DAY 1- You’ll write your first mini-piece of music. Just using chords. You’ll learn how to use harmony effectively. 

If you don’t have a studio yet, you’ll learn how to set up a basic studio to start composing and download the first sounds to get started. 

The whole thing will take less than 1 hour!


Day 2- You’ll write your first (or next) piano sketch. I’ll show you the “right” way of doing this so you can orchestrate it with instruments tomorrow. 

This will take less than 30 minutes.


Day 3- You’ll orchestrate yesterday’s sketch with instruments (strings, percussion, etc). You’ve composed your first mini-song! Your first piece of music! 

This is easier than you think and it will take less than 30min!

Day 4- You’re improve your composing system so you can compose faster the next time. You’ll download some free libraries (I'll tell you exactly which ones) and you’ll build a basic template that will supercharge your composing workflow

Day 5- Compose your next piece of music. This time it will be even faster than the last time

You have a system. You have the knowledge. You’re a composer!!

Alan Lorden

"If you’ve been looking for real world, workable answers and solutions on how to set up and structure an effective film composition recording and production environment this is the course for you. Film composer Marc Jovani cuts to the chase on setting up workable templating, the pros and cons of many popular sound libraries, best practices for mixing and mastering along with tips on how to handle the variety and complexity of requests you will encounter this business. Marc’s passion for film scoring is only surpassed by his desire to educate both aspiring and established composers to be the best and most competitive music professionals they can be."

Paulo Arruda

I'm enrolled in the Cinematic Composing course and I'm actually learning a lot. I didn't know Daw, so I emailed and was immediately advised. I know that this walk I'm taking in my studies, is very important, since we are in the digital age. I am a professional musician and knew very little about this subject. Thank you for enjoying this course

Bryant Waner

I have been studying orchestration for years. Everything is comprehensive and the instructors respond quickly when asked questions. I will be signing up for more courses in the future!

 WHAT OTHER COMPOSERS/STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY TO YOU :)

Stephen S.- Queensland, Australia
"I now have plenty of techniques I can use to enhance my compositions, and the knowledge of how to express my musical ideas."

AMAZING VALUE for an aspiring composer!Since I had heart surgery recently, I have had to slow down physically and decided to embark on a career as a composer.
I know I have much music inside me, waiting to burst out, but don't yet have the technical knowledge to express it as a composer.
Someone recommended the Essential Composing Foundation course and I have found it to be excellent value.
Some of the most helpful sections to me are:- Harmony and Emotions- Telling a Story with Harmony- Marc's 5 Layers System- Ways of Creating Separation in parts- Sound Combinations

Ryan Carrico - Sunnyvale, California
"I'm so glad to have joined Marc in Cinematic Composing and was able to quickly get my little film scored using every last tip, trick, and tool."

What I needed when I needed itI took this course soon after joining with CC because I was working ( or attempting to work ) on a short fantasy animation film. I was underqualified in every way to take this task on solo which is why I'm so glad to have joined Marc in Cinematic Composing and was able to quickly get my little film scored using every last tip, trick, and tool in the fantasy music portion of the Film Music Cliches course. Now I'm able to more quickly come up with ideas that more easily fit into specific genres for film and I owe it all to Cinematic Composing. Thanks, Ryan

Once you're in the challenge, you'll have a better idea of what is the next library that you wanna buy.

You’ll have access to the materials for life.

   I cannot read music and have never taken orchestration classes or anything like that. I have learned everything by ear. Will I still be able to successfully complete the challenge?

Honestly, we have lots of fun and engaging conversations with students who don’t have formal training. Sometimes, when you’ve got a lot of training you can develop complexes or insecurities about what is right or wrong, what you should or shouldn’t do when composing, and so forth.
We’re recently getting more students who don’t read music and instead produce by ear. 
If you’re one of those with little or no traditional formal training, you’ll still gain loads of practical, useful information and experience in this challenge.

  Do I need a Mac to take this challenge? What type of computer do I need?

You don't need a Mac for this challenge. Marc uses a PC. Half of our students are Mac, the other half are PC.
Any computer, desktop or laptop, with an i5 or similar (i7 desired), 4-8Gb of RAM (16 desired), and 150Gb of free HDD storage for samples (SSD desired) will be enough to get you started. You can always upgrade later.
