I'm an idiot but I'm doing it anyway
I'm about to do something my accountant would call stupid. The live calls are the most valuable part of Audio Artist Rise. Two calls a week, two hours each. Four hours of live coaching every week. Eight calls a month. You play a track, you get feedback. You ask a pricing question, you get an answer. Live, from me and from the composers in the room. 20 plus years in this industry, on a call with you, twice a week. Until now the only way in was the full Rise program at $97 a month. From today you can get the calls on their own. $27 a month. Every Tuesday at 6 PM CET. Every Thursday at 10 AM CET. You get the calls, and only the calls. The course library and the call archive (almost 300 recorded calls by now) stay with the full Rise program. Your Zoom link lands in your inbox right after checkout. Join today and the next call is yours. https://www.alexpfeffer.com/programs/live-calls P.S. Yes, I know I could charge more for this. I would rather have you in the room.

Great idea @Alex Pfeffer! How many people are usually in the live call simultaneously?

@Andrew Hand thank you for this profound feedback! 💗 I felt like the string didn’t quite deliver the emotional impact… but that’s just my perspective. I prefer when the lead is more upfront rather than subtle. I did this for a game, where I had to be careful not to push elements too far forward. But now that I’m considering publishing this track on my artist page, I’m thinking of reworking it a bit so the lead melody — the violin — shines and gets the attention it deserves. 🥰

@Joddy Catalán Hi welcome! Could you please tell us more about this "🤖 Learning AI for artistic content"? I'm curious 🧐

A little reflection.
Hi everyone, I've been working in the game industry for over 10 years now. I think it's important for me, as a senior composer, to share with those who are just getting started. I can't go into details, as there are a lot of NDAs and sensitive information involved. And I don't want to scare you or anything like that, felt like I wanted to take it off my chest. Well, if you ever get involved with those big game corporations, be ready for them to try to invite you to work side-by-side with AI, or even put it as part of the terms in your contracts. They'll frame it as “efficiency” and “productivity.” But what if their purpose is to gradually get rid of us when AI properly studies our creative work, approaches, tricks, and learns to apply them? Then it can make tons of quality content quickly, and almost for free. 🤔 Don't allow any client to dictate your ways of working. It's your integrity, your skills, and your talent. Cheers 💖

„Play it in“ vs Keyboard and Mouse
I would be really interested in how you guys normally compose a new Track. Do you normally Play all the parts in with the MIDI Keyboard or are you more of a „putting the notes in“ kind of person :D ? If you are playing all the parts in , how do you keep track of the Chord progression (making sure the notes fit into the current chord) ? I normally put the notes in with the mouse but really am trying to get better at the keyboard , as I think this would be a good boost to my productivity if I could play the parts in efficiently.

I’m a self-taught composer, but I simply can’t work by clicking notes with a mouse. I always record everything with my MIDI keyboard — it feels much more natural to me, especially since I have strong visual memory and absolute pitch. I usually sing the idea first, then play it in and record it with my Kontrol S88 in real time. ☺️ Then same as @Paolo Beaupérin I go back to piano roll to edit the errors or do a little quantize.

@Marcel Gruhn "amazing" hahah, thanks but it depends, cozz I hear when artists play or sing off-pitch... and it could sometimes be unbearable. Regarding your question: For me it usually starts with defining the mood — mysterious, dark, beautiful, sad, etc. Then I hear the opening tones in my head. The first two or three notes already set the scale, so I sing them out quietly (my husband works from home in the next room😄), find them on the keyboard, and record them. Booom! that gives me the intro and the tonal center of the track. From there, I play the intro over and over again, and the next melodic ideas appear in my head. Same process: I sing them, find them on the keyboard, and record them over the existing material. I’m not sure I actually “hear” full chords in my head 🤔 I mostly experiment on the keys, and when something clicks harmonically, I record it. The tricky part for me is creating patterns/arp sequences. That usually turns into a more technical process: placing notes in the piano roll, looping a 4/8-beat section, and experimenting until the loop feels right.
