Main Goals & Features
Write Captivating Cinematic Themes
✅ The main goal of the course is for you to create an epic masterpiece cinematic theme that your peers will be proud of. Use it for your portfolio to impress potential clients, or shop to production music libraries to get it placed in projects.
Faster Workflow
✅ Create a template in your DAW that sounds great from the get-go, to save a lot of time. To proof that you don’t need much, I only use the instruments of one sample library!

Learn From Masterpieces
✅ We dive into several succesful cinematic music pieces, and analyze what makes them so great. You can apply this knowledge to make your own cinematic music sound more convincing.
Mixing & Mastering
✅ Follow along with my mixing process. I perfected this process over the years to get the best sound possible with the least amount of effort.
Downloads & Extras
- 2 scores of analyzed themes
- 4 PDF guides and checklists to guide you

✅ All this makes it easy to repeat the process of creating a high-quality cinematic track!
Struggling to Get
That Big, Cinematic Sound?
Here’s Why…
Your Orchestration & Arrangements Sound Flat
❌You’re trying to write big, emotional music—but your instruments clash, or your arrangement feels thin and lifeless.
✅ Not sure how to layer strings, brass, and percussion effectively?
✅ Struggling to create movement and depth in your orchestration?
✅ Wondering why your track feels small instead of epic?
Your MIDI Mockups Sound Like… MIDI
❌You’ve invested in great sample libraries, but your music still sounds mechanical and unnatural. The difference between a MIDI demo and a cinematic masterpiece comes down to detailed realism.
✅ Are your virtual instruments lacking expression and emotion?
✅ Unsure how to use articulations, velocity, and automation to bring them to life?
✅ Mixing multiple sample libraries—but instead of a lush sound, you get a muddy mess?
Your Workflow Is Slowing You Down
❌You open your DAW, ready to compose… then spend hours tweaking sounds, overthinking choices, and never finishing a track.
✅ Do you get stuck in the endless loop of perfectionism?
✅ Struggle to turn an idea into a structured, finished piece?
✅ Feel overwhelmed by too many tools and techniques?
You’re Not Sure What the Industry Wants
❌You want to get your music placed in films, trailers, or video games—but is your music structured the right way?
✅ Are you making the mistakes that get tracks rejected from music libraries?
✅ Do your compositions have the cinematic build-ups and impact that editors and directors look for?
✅ Not sure what makes your track stand out in a competitive industry?
Your Music Lacks That “Hollywood” Feel
❌You’re writing good music, but it’s missing something—the power, emotion, and cinematic impact that makes professional scores stand out.
✅ Do your compositions sound too predictable or repetitive?
✅ Struggling to create the sweeping dynamics and tension-building moments that define great cinematic music?
✅ Not sure how to make your music sound like it belongs in a film, game, or trailer?
The secret isn’t just more instruments or bigger sounds—it’s about knowing exactly how to shape your music for maximum emotional impact.
Your Mix Sounds Weak & Unpolished
❌Even when you finish a track, it lacks the clarity, depth, and impact of pro-level cinematic music.
✅ Are your mixes muddy, with instruments fighting for space?
✅ Unsure how to use reverb, EQ, and compression to create a rich, cinematic mix?
✅ Struggling to make your music sound polished and ready for film, games, or music libraries?
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—AND you don’t have to keep struggling.
👉 What if you could confidently compose, produce, and mix cinematic music that sounds industry-ready—without all the trial and error?
That’s exactly what Cinematic Music Production will teach you.

From Struggles to Success:
My Cinematic Music Journey
It all began with an old, sluggish laptop, a bunch of plugins and sample libraries, and zero clue how to use them. As a musician turned composer, I was desperate to break into the world of cinematic music—but I didn’t know where to start. The tools were there, but the skills? Not so much.
The Frustrating Path
Every attempt felt like a battle. I had the orchestral sounds, the sound design kits, but no idea how to make them work together. My DAW felt like an alien language, and the learning curve seemed endless. It was frustrating, to say the least.
But here’s the thing: I didn’t give up. Slowly but surely, I figured it out. I spent countless hours experimenting, learning from my mistakes, and finally began crafting tracks that captured the cinematic sound I had been dreaming of.
The Turning Point
Fast forward to today: I’m 33, and my music is now accepted by major trailer and production libraries. It’s been used by content creators around the globe, I score custom music for video games, documentaries and films, and most importantly—I get paid doing what I love. But I’ll never forget the struggles and frustrations of getting here.
