2 MINUTES OF MUSIC PER DAY
"But composing fast means lower quality music?"
No. Faster composing does not mean lower-quality music. Quality remains the same.
Faster composing = increased momentum = sustained inspiration = better composing ideas = more fun!
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT VIDEOS
Think of this course as a "bag of tricks" or a "library of resources" that helps you compose faster and sound better.

MARC'S SOUNDS (TEMPLATE)
This is the result of years of improving and optimizing my template.
After over a decade using this sounds, I've put together an easy-to-use orchestral template, that gives you all you need to compose music... and it sounds amazing!
Intuitive- You'll see! ;) You'll put your hands on the keyboard and you'll go "this is it!"
Easy to use- Simple. All you need in one place.
Powerful- 130 instruments. Lots of flexibility.
Pre orchestrated patches- The sketching patches have been orchestrated. This will speed up your composing workflow.
Balanced- All sounds have been balanced for a realistic orchestral sound.
Negative Delay- Suggested ND so the samples align when you quantize.
You don't need a powerful computer- Optimized to work with any computer.
This bundle includes the Template Files (plug-and-play, balanced, pro sound), the Template in an Afternoon Course (to help you set up your template), and the MIDI files (so you can practice and test your template).

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?

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."
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
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!
Gracias a este curso he encontrado la soltura que necesitaba para empezar a dominar la composición para orquesta.
In personal experience this is one of the best composition course around the internet... I like the way topics are explained with energy and passion!I really recommend this fantastic course.
I have started courses with Cinematic Composing, and I have already learned new techniques that I am already using in my music and I see many more to come. The materisl is consise, presented at a good pace, the instructors are great, the resources plentiful and the value makes it worth the investiment of time and money.
The course is very comprehensive in different topics that a film composer need to know.Higly recommended course for any one who is interested in composing music for film
For the first time I found Cinematic Composing website I knew inmediately that this is exactly what I've been looking for. I've learn so much, I'm so happy.Higly recommended course for any one who is interested in composing music for film
The course is very good and helpful, the information is so detailed it makes it so much easier to understand.
This course is awesome and extremely helpful for all composers. It has helped me a lot with my compositions and gave me a better understanding of all instruments which helps me with my composition assignmetns for the "University of Sidney"I am truly grateful to Cinematic Composing.
Very informative courses doesn't matter how much do you know/familiar about instruments in general an explanation from the composers himself is setting your mind and focus in the rigth way
What I like the most about CC is the value that it gives you and all the learnings that you can get from top industry professionals!
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

We use 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 libraries. You can learn and apply all the concepts taught in the challenge and course using any free library. I'll give you a list of free libraries that you can download. Once you're in the challenge, you'll have a better idea of what is the next library that you wanna buy.
Do I need to buy any sample library before taking this challenge?
I'll give you a list of free libraries that you can download. So no. No need to buy any library.
Also, once you enroll to 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 educational discounts you'll get! ;)
How long will I have access to the challenge and course materials?
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.
