Hey everyone. I love to read and I do it a lot. Never have I thought about reading into Composing. Does anybody know good books to look for that cover the topic Game music or Movie music? Something like an artbook like the "Arcane" one from League of Legends. Does anything like that exist? I would really love to read some.

Hey guys I'm thinking of expanding my plugin collection. Thought about the East west choir wuth the angel and devil cover. Also the Virharmonic violin. The budget would be around those two vsts, they're in sale now for 89€ and 150€ Unless... Someone knows a much better Plugin to get? What choir and violin plugins do you use? Right now I only have Kontakt choir but it sounds very unrealistic and the session strings are difficult to deal with when I wanna make more realistic stuff. So what's your thought?

Alright, so I just finished building something pretty cool and wanted to share it with you all. For years, we've all struggled with the same problem - how do you actually GET IN TOUCH with game developers? You find a cool indie game on Steam, want to reach out, but... no website, no contact info, everything stays locked inside Steam's ecosystem. Well, I built an automation that solves this. Here's what it does: - Scrapes Steam for games based on YOUR filters (genre, release date, etc.) - Uses AI (Perplexity) to find the actual company domains - Runs those domains through an email finder tool to get contact info - Delivers you a list of emails in literally 20-30 seconds I just ran a test - picked "survival games from last week" - and got 2 verified emails in under a minute. Then tried "adventure games from last month" and got even more. The point? There's literally no excuse anymore to say "I can't find game developers to contact." The leads are there. The tools exist. The only thing stopping you is... not doing it. Now, this is just one approach (and yes, it costs a bit for the tools), but the principle applies everywhere - if you're serious about landing game audio work, you need to get proactive about finding and reaching out to devs. What's YOUR biggest challenge with finding game dev contacts?

Just dropped a comprehensive video on the complete outreach system I teach my Rise students - and honestly, this is the stuff that separates hobbyists from professionals. Here's the brutal truth: If you're just sitting around writing music and hoping someone discovers you, you're doing this wrong. Period. In this video, I break down: ✅ Building a professional brand that doesn't scream "amateur" (yes, your Gmail address matters) ✅ Creating demo reels that actually convert (hint: stop sending 100 random tracks) ✅ Company research and LinkedIn strategies that work ✅ Email outreach + follow-ups (this is where most conversions happen) ✅ Social media content you can create in 5 minutes with your phone ✅ Why most composers fail at targeting (and how to fix it immediately) The real kicker? Consistency. Contact 5 people a day on LinkedIn. That's 1,500+ contacts in a year. Something WILL happen. Stop using "saturated market" as an excuse. The market isn't saturated - your strategy just sucks. Watch the full video and let me know which part hit you the hardest. 👇 Drop a comment if you have questions or if you're finally ready to treat this like the business it is.
