Bonus #1: Licensing Toolkit
For this course, we’ve assembled a monumental 6GB Sample pack consisting of some of the best samples and sound design we’ve made in the past years, and that we find ourself using day in and out. You’ll find these samples all over the tracks we’re breaking down in the course.

This course will take you through the process of crafting your own orchestral sketch template, picking the right libraries and sounds, as well as processing them to sound awesome right out of the box. So that you can just input your melodies, chords, and background elements and get solid sounding mockups in a matter of minutes.
‍This is the framework Arn’s used to create most of the tracks in the case study, and a big reason for his workflow speed.

‍Bonus #3: Workshop Bundle
These two workshops are focusing on mastering the underlying principles that will allow you to craft powerful orchestrations in any style and instrumentation, and crafting a wall of sound, eradicating muddy and imbalanced arrangements, while breaking out of the “loop stage” and easily crafting engaging, powerful track structures that keep the listener’s attention. These principles are absolute cornerstones in the workflow behind the tracks in this course.
