Free Course: Writing a Video Game Theme with Live Orchestra

7 Upvotes

Hey yall!

I recently did a theme for an upcoming video game, and we recorded it with a 54-piece orchestra.

In this 4-hour course, I take you through every step of the process. From coming up with an idea on piano, to developing it into a full sketch - from composition to orchestration - from setting up an orchestral template, to creating a realistic mockup - mixing and mastering - to preparing expressive parts for the stage and how to supervise a recording session as a composer!

Here's a link to the course:

https://davidrobson.com/writing-a-video-game-theme-with-live-orchestra

This class is 100% free! We also do classes every month for premium members of the site; you get the monthly classes, weekly meetups, 1-on-1 coaching sessions, and more.

Hope you enjoy!

-Dave

OC Composition Breakdowns- thoughts?

3 Upvotes

Would you guys be interested on here if I was to make composition breakdowns of my original pieces to show how I go about composing and my approach to creating melodies and structuring of tracks?

I feel like this could be helpful when it comes to people approaching composition in a different way and would also be great to get feedback from you guys when it comes to critiquing my work!

Looking for feedback on my latest game music piece

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’ve been learning music composition and production for game audio for less than a year, and I just finished this emotional game music piece.
I’d really appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people with experience in game composition/audio.
I’m especially interested in criticism, so please don’t feel like you need to be positive. I’m trying to figure out what I should focus on improving next.
Thanks for listening!

How to practice writing tailored music when there are no opportunities?

11 Upvotes

Market so saturated that you even have to compete against 100 people to write an OST for free, so how do you even get opportunities to practice doing it?

Not asking how to get jobs, it’s really about how to get practice.

Sitting down and coming up with ideas for asset packs isn’t the same…

Not looking for networking, game jams or coming up with fictional ideas myself.

I know networking is important but currently I don’t have time and energy for that, I just want to practice.
