Hey beautiful artists. Just wanted to give you all an update about the progress of CMC. I know new videos haven't been uploaded for quite some time so I just thought I would briefly let you know a bit about why. Since last video was uploaded, I moved to a new country, got married, and am in the process of buying gear for conditioning the new studio for proper sound quality since right now, it's mostly an empty room with my computer and several boxes (hey, at least I get a sweet reverb impulse response haha). So thanks everyone for your patience. I hope the course has, so far, provided you with all the basics and more to improve the quality of your music. And by all means, I'm available on DM here and can listen to your tracks and reply with feedback as well as answering any questions you may have.

Hello! I am starting fresh at the moment with DAW’s. 5 years ago I went totally computer free and started jamming on hardware synths and a 4 track controller. Now that I want to explore video game music or movie scores, I know I need a DAW to properly arrange and store finished tracks. I’m working with a Mac at the moment and I hope to get started with garage band and an audio interface. Does anybody have success using garage band? Will it be too limited? Any input would be appreciated!

Hey everyone! We’re launching the Rootbound Trailer Scoring Competition—a great chance to score a real game trailer for an upcoming indie title. Brainlag Games is a newly founded studio with former Piranha Bytes members mostly known for Risen and Gothic. Rootbound is a pixel-art fantasy adventure with action, puzzles and exploration parts. The developers have been kind enough to share their trailer with us, giving composers the opportunity to bring it to life with original music. There is a lot of room for playing around with different moods and music styles. If you like you can also add your own sound effects to the trailer. Prizes are sponsored by Fluffy Audio, with the grand prize being their stunning Echoes of the Earth library—an incredible tool for composers looking to expand their sound. If you’re looking for a fun challenge, a way to build your portfolio, or just an excuse to create something new, I’d love for you to join in! Full details and submission info here: https://www.marikaschanz.com/rootboundscoringcontest and you can find our video on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k44WiV9vbPA&feature=youtu.be The Trailer can also be used for your portfolio you don't have to enter the contest. You will find the download link on the website. best Marika
