https://youtu.be/AH2JRr_Mr3A?si=dNY9swjCpdQT4aDW Hi everyone, I never used any of performance samples libraries but to be honest they sound good so I kept them in my radar. Any thoughts of yours would help me before black friday 😅🙏🏻

Hey everyone, here's a teaser of what's coming for Track 02 in the Cinematic Music Course for those of you who own it. Will let you know as soon as we have new videos ready to watch. In the meantime, enjoy the intro inspired by the Aurora Borealis phenomenon! That's it. Will get back to recording the rest. :) Take care, Ariel https://vimeo.com/1123973503?share=copy

This question goes specifically to (semi) pros in the Trailer/VGM and Film Music branche: What do you practise to keep your skills fit for your job? Do you do ear training? Instrumental practise? Mixing practise? Or do you just always produce tracks and improve through that? Curious what you musical routines look like :)

Everybody’s different, so take this list as inspiration rather than hard rules. Some things might click for you, others not so much — and that’s totally fine. ☕ Coffee One or two cups are usually enough. If you need more and still don’t feel awake, the issue probably isn’t “not enough coffee.” Also, caffeine hangs around in your system for hours — so if you’re waking up in the middle of the night (and it’s not the kids), your late coffee might be the real culprit. 🍳 Breakfast Choices Starting the day with protein instead of just carbs helps avoid that blood sugar rollercoaster. A carb-heavy breakfast can make you crash, leaving you tired or dizzy… and then we reach for more coffee. And while fruit juice often sounds “healthy,” the sugar spike is usually higher than you’d expect. To put it into perspective: a Coke Zero plus a Vitamin C supplement would probably be the healthier option — not as an actual breakfast choice, but just as a comparison. And for the record, sweeteners are among the most researched food ingredients out there, and no, they don’t cause cancer. ☀️ Vitamin D3 For me, this is the ultimate mood booster. Most of us don’t get enough sun (especially in winter), and Vitamin D is tied to energy, immune system, and yes — your mood. Feels like turning the light switch back on. 💪 Creatine Not just for gym rats. Creatine is one of the most researched supplements out there, and it supports your brain just as much as your muscles. It can help with energy, focus, and even long-term cognitive health. Pretty crazy that almost everyone could benefit from it. 🌬 Breathing Most of the time we breathe shallow without even noticing. A couple of slow, deep breaths during the day can reset your nervous system and bring you back into the moment. Simple, free, and surprisingly effective. 🚶 Walk, Don’t Run You don’t have to run marathons to stay in shape. Running burns through glycogen (your quick energy stores) first, and yes, it can also dip into muscle if those stores are low. Walking, on the other hand, keeps you in a lower intensity “fat-burning zone” and is much easier on your body. Sure, running burns more calories in less time, but for long-term health and consistency, a simple 20-minute walk a day is more than enough — and something most people can actually stick with.
