THE ULTIMATE STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO
CREATING EPIC FILM MUSIC

step by step, IN-DEPTH, video TUTORIALS


We break down professional epic film music pieces in the DAW and show you the exact production techniques used in deep technical detail.
These are the real “secret-sauce” computer-based production techniques they don’t teach in your music degree…

ALL YOU NEED IS BASIC MIDI KEYBOARD SKILLS
WE WILL TEACH YOU TO CREATE INCREDIBLE EPIC FILM MUSIC…

Watch our intro video to take a listen to just a handful of the pieces that I’m going to teach you exactly how to make in this course.

n order to make music like this I’m going to teach you about core practical production methods such as:

“Critical Band Percussion Layering”

This is just 1 of 7 Core Principles used in almost every great modern film score. Why weren’t you taught any of this in your music education?

Simply because film music composition is a trade taught from composer to assistant, not in Master’s degrees and Summer Schools.

These techniques didn’t have names until now, they are techniques and methods developed over decades of experience by professional composers passed from composer to assistant. Let me explain…
My Story…

Like me, you have probably spent countless amounts of time, money and energy learning to play and create music.

When I add it all up: cost of instruments, tuition fees, student loan from a music degree and everything in between it adds up to tens of thousands of dollars.

And yet just 4 years ago I sat in my house devastated as I could neither produce music to the quality I heard in the movies nor make a decent living from it.

How could I have invested so much time, money and dedication to my craft only to see friends in more traditional jobs with half the commitment start to earn large salaries while I struggled working a soul-crushing day job?

It was at this point that I realised something was wrong with the way I had been learning and I decided that enough is enough. I am going to figure this out once and for all.


THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL MUSIC EDUCATION

If you are like me, the problem isn’t a lack of connections or the lack of decent sample libraries, it’s that…

…you were never given the right computer based production techniques which allow you to make professional sounding pieces.

Virtually every successful composer interned as an assistant to an established composer and picked up their:

DAW Template of Instruments and FX.
Instrument layering methods.
Mixing techniques: Compression, Reverb, EQ, Limiting, Mastering etc.
Sound Design: Sub Drops, Risers, Impacts, Drones etc.
Electronics Programming: Beats, Sub Bass Lines, Lush Atmospheric Soundscapes.

I was definitely learning none of this in my school orchestration classes. Moreover, I was seeing many of my friends with every classical orchestration chop in the book struggling to earn a living while computer-music production wizards are earning huge monthly royalty cheques.
The Solution

I committed to learning everything I could – not from traditional Master’s degrees or classes – but directly from the composers and producers who can actually make pieces sound incredible.

I interned for over a year at the BBC and then Universal Music absorbing everything I could about professional production and mixing. This landed me a job as an assistant to one of the most eminent film composers alive and I spent 2 years learning every single technique used to create incredible sounding film music.

I learnt more in this time than did in 10 years of traditional education and uncovered key computer based production techniques that film composers have been using intuitively since the dawn of computer based film scoring.

I gathered countless notebooks of techniques, breaking down every piece into its component parts and my own compositions became more powerful and clear than ever. Countless notebooks and pieces later I knew that I had cracked the code (just check out the pieces I will be showing you how to make in the video above). These powerful techniques fell into 7 core categories which now form the backbone of my work.

In the space of a year I started producing the kind of music I always dreamed of. Work began to flow in from ads, trailers, computer games as I began to establish myself. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not making millions from Hollywood movies but I was able to leave my day-job and compose for a living comfortably full-time which means the world to me.
HOW YOU CAN GET THERE TOO…

If you are like me, you have striven with honest dedication to your art but you aren’t being given the full picture. Many Film music degrees, Masters courses etc. that cost thousands of dollars prey upon young composers who assume that this is their first step into the industry, only to leave with little to no idea how to sit down at a DAW and produce something that sounds like a real film score.

I have met countless students like this at film music festivals and turned them onto Modern Film Composer, check out the testimonials below!

You can’t afford to miss the vital production techniques you need to make your music all that it can be. You have dedicated years of your life to learning your craft, you deserve to know how to translate your abilities into fair payment and success in the industry. Stop torturing yourself about “a lack of industry connections” and start making the kind of music that blows people away and creates those connections for you when people can’t help but talk about it.

MODULES: WHAT’S INCLUDED

This is no broad, philosophical, pep-talk on the film music industry. This is the real deal, the actual techniques Hollywood composer’s use in their DAW to create epic scores. You will learn:

Module 1:
The Science of Epic Chord Progressions and Composition Structures.

In Module 1 you’re going to learn the 10 chord progressions top film composers use that underlie the majority of popular film scores. Did you know that most of the greatest modern film scores are built upon just a handful of chord progressions which are also widely used in pop music? You’ll learn how to create breath-taking, expansive chord progressions like Hans Zimmer and use them to create music that is charged with emotion.

In this first module we walk you through examples of the most famous chord progressions in film music and show you exactly how to construct your own progressions that will pull on the heartstrings of your listeners.

We then break-down the song-writing and production techniques involved in the Interstellar main theme showing you step by step how to produce a finished track in this style by creating one in the DAW.
Module 2: The Key to Thundering Percussion: Layering in Critical Frequency Bands.

In Module 2
you’re going to learn how to create thundering percussion through a scientific layering method using “Critical Bands”. This is the same layering method used to create some of the most powerful percussion loop libraries.

We break down the percussion layering techniques used on film scores like Mad Max: Fury Road and show you how a research paper published in 1961 by a German acoustics scientist will give you all the answers for creating the most huge and epic percussion section imaginable. We show you exactly which VSTs to use and how to combine and mix them.

We re-create a full track step by step in the DAW in the style of the Mad Max soundtrack so you can learn how to apply these methods in a practical hands on way.
Module 3: Hyper Realistic String Production Methods.

In module 3
we’ll learn how to create hyper-realistic strings with natural dynamics and expression. I’m going to show you the precise techniques used to make powerful and super realistic strings ala the Sunshine soundtrack. Using the incredible string samples that you will get in your free ComposerCloud package I will show you how to layer and manipulate 5 different parameters of the sound to achieve full realism. You’ll be totally amazed at how lush and full your strings will sound when you know the right levels to pull.

We re-create a full piece step by step in the DAW in the style of the Sunshine soundtrack to teach you exactly how to apply these techniques in the production of your own music.
Module 4: The Wall of Brass Sound. Hint: You'll need more than just Brass Samples.

In Module 4 we’ll be creating roaring brass and the iconic braamms in the style of the Inception score. I’ll show you the specific layering and mixing techniques step by step that will allow you to create bracing walls of brass that will be fit for the next Transformers trailer.

We create a piece in the DAW in the style of the Inception Score using these techniques to show you exactly how they are applied in deep technical detail.
Module 5: Epic Choir Production Techniques. Manipulating Sibilance Frequencies and the Key to Clarity.

In Module 5
we learn to build epic choirs. I will show you 4 simple concepts that will make your choirs sound as huge and realistic as the top trailer music tracks.

These 4 ideas will take your choirs from sounding like cheap synth pads and turn them into a ginormous living breathing chorus of singers. We create an Epic piece of trailer music live in the DAW, breaking down every step and technique so you’ll know exactly how to apply these techniques.
Module 6: How to Crush Electronic Hybrid Sound Design: Earth-shaking Sub. Aggressive Hybrid Beats and Killer Electronics.

In Module 6
we’ll show you how to crush electronic sound designs. We’ll be creating cinema shaking sonic booms, earth-shattering impacts, soaring risers, expansive atmospherics and bone-rattling sub-bass.

We’ll teach you to apply the best elements of Hip Hop music, Trap, Dubstep and other electronic styles into your pieces in an authentic way. We will move from the fundamental scientific principles underlying these techniques including the resonance frequencies in the human body and cinema sound systems/home speakers to the practical application of these techniques in follow along audio examples.

You’ll be amazed and the entire world of sound-palates which will open up before you. Your pieces will be infused with expansive atmospheric beauty and grounded with tremendous powerful weight.
Module 7: Punchy Mixing and Mastering. The Surprising Secrets to Mixing Epic Music.

In Module 7 we show you how to mix and master your tracks to make them sound as huge and polished as they can possibly be. We go into precise detail in showing you the core mixing techniques used by the world’s top film score composers and mix engineers to make mixes that pack a punch and pop out of your speakers.

You’ll learn everything from punchy compression techniques to make your percussion smack (that we’ve taken from our direct experience working with the Chemical Brother’s Sound Engineer). To glossy EQ’s that polish your sound and obliterate muddiness. And rock solid limiting that gives you “the sound” which you have been searching for.

We’ll show you how to mix both virtual instruments and real vocals into your arrangements by creating a piece in the style of the Gravity soundtrack and mixing every element to perfection. You’ll see “through the looking glass” at the exact hands on techniques used in film score production.
