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.

They are a Thousand courses out there, none of them are so inspiring,helpful, and enjoyable as cinematic composing! It’s worth every penny!Thank you for being a part of this big family🙂
“These courses have been a fantastic experience thus far. I'm already learning more than I ever could. It's far superior than just searching for online tuts. This course is all a hit!.”
Whether it’s a film, TV show, video game or music production, the information you will learn in this class is very valuable and will be useful for the rest of your career.
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!!
Whether it’s a film, TV show, video game or music production, the information you will learn in this class is very valuable and will be useful for the rest of your career.

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
