Dear everyone, first, thank you so much to everyone for signing up! This community is growing so fast, I am amazed. So in case you like the free courses and this place in general, feel free to forward the Audio Artist Community to everyone you know who might be interested! 🤗 Now, feel free to put your music, projects, demo reels, or portfolios in THIS post. Feel free to self-promote and enjoy each other's music! However, please keep in mind to keep it spam-free, ok? If you want to post several demo reels or links, please use your own post out of respect for everyone else 👍 Thank you, and there will be more content very soon! Alex

Hey everyone, I need to address something that's been happening lately. We've been getting hit with spam accounts, AI bots, and people sneaking in just to promote their own services. It's been frustrating watching the quality of our community get diluted by freeloaders who don't actually care about growing as composers. Here's the thing - I spend a lot of time creating videos, tutorials, and answering private message questions entirely for free. And I'll continue doing that because I genuinely want to help you succeed. But to compensate for that time investment and keep this community sustainable, I'm introducing some changes: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! ⚠️ For EVERYONE ALREADY HERE: If you joined for free, you're staying free. Forever. You're grandfathered in. NOTHING changes for you. ⚠️ ⚠️ If you purchased courses before, they are STAYING YOURS. If you joined the premium tier, EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME ⚠️ For New Members (as of today, 22th Nov. 2025): - Standard Tier: $7/month or $70/year - Full community access, tutorials, partner deals, and networking resources - Premium Tier: $27/month or $270/year - Everything in Standard PLUS access to ALL courses on the platform (Trailer Music Trailblazers I & II, Game Music Conquerors, etc.) This isn't about making money. It's about protecting what we've built here and ensuring I can keep dedicating time to creating valuable content for you. A small barrier filters out the noise and keeps this community focused on what actually matters - helping serious composers build real careers. You'll see me sharing more valuable content, more actionable strategies, and less tolerance for BS moving forward. Questions? Drop them below. Cheerio, Alex

Here is the screenshot that I took at the 15th of July. Again I am a few days late but here we go. Congratz! @Andrew Hand - 40 EUR @Sean Walsh - 20 EUR @Matt McDonnell - 10 EUR Just in case you are curious again on how it works: 🗓 On the 15th of each month, I’ll check the Skool leaderboard and reward the top 3 people with: - 🥇 1st place: 40 EUR - 🥈 2nd place: 20 EUR - 🥉 3rd place: 10 EUR How does the leaderboard work? Skool automatically gives you points when your posts or comments receive likes. The more value you bring, the more likes you’ll get — and the higher you’ll climb. ✅ You get points when people like YOUR content (again when PEOPLE like YOUR content, not when YOU like other people's content) ❌ You don’t get points for liking others (but it’s still nice to do!) This isn’t about posting non-stop, posting about sample lib discounts all the time or spamming this place — it’s about quality! Share your progress, help others, ask good questions, or post useful insights — that’s what drives real engagement and community growth. And yep, more activity also helps boost our group in Skool’s discovery algorithm, meaning more exposure, more members, and more opportunities for everyone. Let’s make it fun, helpful, and a little competitive. Looking forward to seeing what you all share! — Alex

I've seen the question "Which DAW should I use?" asked here several times. Hopefully the video below will help to make people's decisions a little easier.
