I'm bringing in a guest coach for a live workshop! Here's what I can tell you. He's spent decades as a music editor and mixer on major film scores, working directly with one of the most respected composers in the business on trilogies that most of us grew up watching. His editing and mixing work has touched films from some of the biggest directors working today. He's also taught film scoring at the graduate level for almost 20 years, so he knows how to actually teach this stuff! I asked him point blank: what are composers getting wrong when they self-mix their own cinematic and trailer material? His answer...Bad gain staging and signal flow. Reaching for EQ when the real problem is often somewhere else entirely. Dumping plugins on the master bus to fix things that needed to be fixed inside the mix. (Feel called out, I know I did!) We're going deep on all of it. Live, hands-on, inside your own DAW. If you're one of the folks presenting, you'll open your session and we'll work through it together in real time, plugin by plugin, decision by decision. Format: Live Zoom, 90 minutes, hands-on Cost: Free for Accelerator members. $17 for everyone else. Who this is for: Composers and producers working on cinematic, trailer, or film score material who want their mixes to actually translate. Name gets revealed once the date is locked. Drop a "IN" below if you want a heads up the second it's live.

Just getting started? This is the place to share your music. Post a Disco.ac link in the comments and tell us: what's the track, what mood or genre are you going for, and where are you thinking of pitching it? Keep feedback constructive. We're all here to get better. [why disco? It keeps your tracks organized with proper metadata so supervisors can actually find and use your music, and it's the industry standard platform sync libraries and music supervisors already use to browse and download cues.] [don't have disco yet? use my referral code and get a $20 credit - https://disco.ac/signup?b=836&u=9075]
