This Course Is For You If...

You already know the basics of making music in a DAW, particularly if you can already produce other genres (EDM, pop, rock, etc) and are now interested in orchestral music production because you want to make your own intros, orchestral arrangements, or because you want to start making soundtracks without having to read traditional orchestration books or sheet music.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is This Course For Beginners?

This course is NOT for beginners, you need to have a reasonable understanding of a DAW of your choice and ideally also a minimum of songwriting experience.

Does The Course Use Notation/Sheet Music?

Notation is used only a few times throughout the whole course: whilst notation is great, I believe that most concepts can be shown directly from the DAW's piano roll for a more practical and immediate approach.

Do I Have To Use One Specific DAW?

No, you don't. The information in this course can be used to make orchestral music in any DAW, in fact I would probably recommend that you stick to the one you're familiar with already.

Do I Have To Use One Specific Sample Library?

No, you don't. Whilst Vienna Symphonic Library is used extensively throughout the course because it's amazing and my favourite, you can use whichever sample library you like as long as it meets the criteria shown in the "Realism" module.

How Long Does The Course Take?

This course contains 5 modules, with over 50 videos and more than 3 hours worth of educational material, you can do it in one day or spread it over several weeks. You can always come back to watch the videos again.
