Mike mentioned we can join "the Discord" on his 2024 New Years Special a few days ago.

Is this Patreon-only? If not, where can I find the link to join?

I find it terribly annoying that the video goes on buffering every few seconds (at 720p). I only have this problem when it comes down to vimeo, I can watch videos smoothly at 1080p on YT, so I deduced I have some kind of problems with that specific...

So my idea is that besides the piano only unleashed, we could add some more restrictions.

Maybe a fixed story. Mike gives us a few fixed story beeds (like in the race) and we have to compose fitting to that story. Also the overall song shouldn't be longer than 3 minutes or so, so it won't be too much.

I think it would be interesting how everyone would tackle the same story and learn some new perspectives on how to say the same thing.

Or maybe it...

Has the sale expired? And if not, can someone provide the code? I'd like to purchase a new course.

I just joined the group after watching Mike on YouTube.

A brief background, I am a film composer in my country and usually I would end up composing for films and it would be fine, till the time everything started to sound the same and I quickly lost interest in scoring for films. I started to watch videos online to up my game and all they did was frustrate me further because I had all the tools but there was a huge learning gap in the way that my mind would hear something...

I'm having a bit of trouble discerning some of the letters that are different from their english equivalent, plus which that old world font isn't helping. Google Translate is giving me some weird results on some of it.

Anyway, here is the screenshot, with numbers by the nine text...

There was a "Mike's Favorite Modulations" PDF floating around the web in the past.

Does anyone have a link to that? I've been trying to find my copy, but it's eluding me :-/

I wanted to remind everyone of this spreadsheet that people started making with an overview of every class, a table of contents.

It has not been very actively worked on lately. I just completed Composition 1 but would love if more people started filling in some stuff. In my opinion it can be very simple, just some anchors and an overview of what he talks...

My favorite (or favorite moment) is "Orchestration 2" - The part where Mike is first talking, then showing in his template how it works/sounds, experimenting, discussing and trying different ideas, playing it/recording it so it is clear what effect it has, how it sounds. Making music. For example, Mike mentions doubling cello figure with harp, and...
