@Alex Pfeffer Hi Alex! Thank you very much. Very glad to be here!
New in the classroom: Trailer Music Workshop
Hey everyone! I just uploaded a brand new workshop to the classroom: the Trailer Music Workshop. This is a full 3.5 hour session where I build a trailer track from scratch in Cubase, explaining every single decision along the way. From the very first melodic idea all the way to the final master bus. Here's what's inside: 🎵 THE PRODUCTION PROCESS We go through the entire workflow step by step. Capturing ideas fast (I literally use my phone voice recorder), building the structure before writing a single note, and the toolbox approach that trailer editors actually want from us. I also talk about why one melodic idea is enough for a full trailer track and why most people overcomplicate things way too early. Then we get into instrumentation and arrangement. I walk through every library and plugin I use on the track, how I build drum layers from low booms to syncopated grooves to fills, how I write choir parts (women first, harmonize on chord tones, triplets for urgency), and how to create signature sounds that make your tracks stand out even though we all use the same libraries. Mixing and mastering happens while composing, not after. I show exactly how I use clippers on individual channels to save headroom, the multiband limiter setup on the master bus, and why minimal plugin chains beat overprocessing every time. 💰 THE BUSINESS SIDE I break down the two main income categories: sync fees and royalties. We talk about how to evaluate deals (hint: 30% of a company that places heavily can beat 100% of a catalog that sits on a shelf), why I personally focus on royalties over sync fees, and what you need to have in place before pitching to any company. 🎬 PREPARING YOUR DEMO REEL What to include, what to leave out, and why most demo reels get skipped in under 15 seconds. I keep this practical and honest. The workshop is $97 and you can find it right in the classroom.

Im definitely going to purchase this. I only found your channel last year and have found it a gold mine of info. I like your direct teaching style also. Seeing how a track gets built from scratch and why decisions are made sounds like just what I need! Thanks Alex

Hi everyone. I've not got a reel, but here's one of my pieces. I got the idea of this during lockdown. It took a while to get the programming together, but I was happy with how it turned out. I made the image (no AI) and composited the flames etc. Feedback is very welcome :) And thank you for listening https://youtu.be/RqNQEo5JWRk?si=gITvmyYSJiSUa6oy

Also during the holidays I had a go at the Terminator theme to see if I could do an 'epic' trailer type version. Again, feedback is very welcome! Thanks for listening Jay https://youtu.be/RqNQEo5JWRk?si=gITvmyYSJiSUa6oy
