Just a quick heads-up! This Wednesday, January 14, Frank is hosting another live session. This time on "Enhancing Counterpoint with Interval Magic." He’ll show how to use intervals in a smart, musical way, especially when working with counterpoint. Think of it as creating musical conversations. If you’re curious about intervallic writing and want to add a bit of interval magic to your own musical voice, this session is for you. 🕠 When: Wednesday, Jan 14, 5:30 PM CET 🎟 Cost: Totally free 👉 Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BM_-TtAwTBadGZhvlJD5JA And if you’d like to go even deeper, check out the "Circle of Interval Magicians" here on Skool. 👉 Learn more here

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year! Just wondering what some of your favourite realistic-sounding Piano VSTs are? My go-to in trailer tracks is the Felt Piano from Spitfire's Olafur Arnalds Toolkit, but I need something a little less soft for a project I'm working on. I've been using Addictive Keys from XLN Audio for years in personal projects, but I'm not sure it quite has the realism I want/need for this professional project. Though interested if anyone disagrees! Let me know your thoughts! I'm hoping not to break the bank on another piano, but I'd love to have something that sounds super realistic to slot into my wider instrument collection (Nucleus, Metropolis Ark, Damage 2, Gravity etc) Thanks all!

Hi! Before the end of 2025, I thought I would take the opportunity to make some shoutouts when it comes to people in this community that helped me out on my journey when it comes to applying but also get accepted into two trailer libraries earlier this fall. First off, big thanks to @Andrew Hand who gave me great feedback on my early showreel version that I started to build and create during the summer. Thanks, Andrew :) But Andrew also got me into contact with @Matt McDonnell who offered me 1v1 sessions, when it comes to improving my cues even further, and also very valuable feedback when it comes to my upcoming showreel, and important things to have in mind when sending those application mails to the libraries. Besides that, we've also had great conversations about music and life in general :) Thanks Matt for taking the time, listening to different versions of my cues and giving valuable feedback, but also the support during the whole phase of "putting it all together". And last but not least; thanks to @Alex Pfeffer even though we've never spoken, since he's the man behind this community. Thanks to him I've gotten new knowledge but also inspiration. I wouldn't have found this group of fellow composers in the first place if it wasn't for his YT channel :) Thanks, Alex! I'm now in the work of finishing my first album (horror music), with one of the libraries. Twelve tracks were completed before Christmas, but I'll now go back and start making some revisions and changes here and there due to feedback, and then it's time to deliver those stems(!) Looking forward to what 2026 has to offer, and with that I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! Kind regards, Roger Bergström

Does anyone have any good tutorials for panning with orchestral elements? I cant find anything for trailer music for some reason..

Hey all, here is the promised Replay of the Scaling Session with Frank. If you have any question, feel free to reach out to Frank for support. I am pretty sure he will answer your questions. Honestly, I had a few lessons about a similar system in the past but in these 45 mins with Frank I understood more about it than ever before 😅. Rest assured, Frank has more spells available for you, ... so if you are curious about this very helpful music composition system, make sure to check out his Circle of Interval Magicians. Let us know, what do you think about scaling? Do you have questions? Also, feel free to post your examples you created with his method.
