ADD TO CARTFor any DAW
The course uses Logic, but the concepts apply to any DAW.
For modern orchestral
Bled proven composition with modern workflows to inspire today's hybrid sound.
For your musical freedom
Follow these techniques to sit down and generate ideas on demand - for life.
Feel stuck when composing with orchestral VSTs? Not anymore.
Imagine sitting down at your DAW and having clear, repeatable processes for turning simple chord progressions into powerful orchestral music.
Picture opening your VSTs and building epic trailer ostinatos, pounding percussion, or intimate, emotional themes - all from scratch.
That’s what makes this course different. Most orchestral courses focus on the instruments or the basics of VSTs (important, yes) - but often skip what you really want to know: how to actually compose your own music.
Here, the focus is on workflows: practical, follow-along processes you can use over and over to generate strong musical ideas on demand - even without inspiration. All you need is some basic chords, and you’ll be able to spark ideas for life.
Plus you'll go inside multiple real projects in different orchestral styles. From powerful trailers to intimate scores, you'll see exactly how they were composed so you can copy the same mindsets in your projects.
By the end, you’ll have new perspectives, battle-tested workflows, and the confidence to compose, produce, and finish orchestral inspired tracks with greater confidence and control.
Join me on this exciting journey to bring the power of the orchestra to life inside your music!
Note: Struggle with chords and melodies? “Chord Control” is the perfect companion course to give you even more control over your craft.
Learn from real tracks
One of the best ways to learn is to see how it's done. Inside you'll go behind every one of these tracks - and more - to see how they were created.
