Hi everyone! I think most of you are familiar with EastWest’s software and their annual subscription ComposerCloud+, which gives access to all of the company’s libraries as long as your subscription is active. I know many people don’t like the subscription model, but still… Under their EDU plan, the annual subscription currently costs $49, and as stated on their website, you need to provide proof of student status after purchase. I asked their support team, and they confirmed that online education also qualifies. So, you can simply attach a proof of purchase for any course on the Alex's platform (you probably should receive it by email after purchase) and enjoy a fantastic price for top-tier software! (I personally think their epic choirs, ethnic vocals, and orchestral libraries are outstanding.) Really hope this will be helpful to someone :) https://www.soundsonline.com/

Hey everyone! I just launched a brand-new course called ChatGPT for Music Composers, and I wanted to share it with you here first. This course isn’t about letting AI write music for you — it’s about using ChatGPT as a helpful assistant to support your creative process and career. You’ll learn how to: - Come up with new ideas and overcome creative blocks - Write more natural and confident outreach emails - Research companies, games, and music opportunities - Even build simple tools to help you stay organized (no coding needed!) Right now, it’s in early access — which means not all videos are uploaded yet, but you can get started today for just $19. I’ll be adding new lessons very soon, and all updates are included. 👉 [Grab the course for $19 here] 🟢 Important:If you’re already a member of the Audio Artist Rise program — good news! This course will be included for free inside the Rise platform as a full module. No need to purchase it separately. If you’re not a Rise member, and you're thinking about grabbing this course — it might be worth checking out the Rise program instead. For just $47/month, you get this course plus weekly calls, feedback, community, and all my content in one place. Let me know what you think — and feel free to ask questions! Alex
