The Top 7 Music Videos Courses You Need to Take - Zippia (2024)

1. Orchestral Music Composition & Music Theory for Video Games

Learn the composition, NOT theunnecessary technicalities! This course does not contain FMOD, WWise, or any other middleware. Game composers do not need to know how to use these softwares. The sound designers or developers of the game will integrate your music for you. The only reason a composer would ever need to know how to use these softwares (and why you see so many articles telling you to LEARNFMOD) is because you need to understand the logic and principles behind how game audio actually works. You just need to understand how music is implemented into a game, not actually implement it yourself. Developers just want to make sure you know how, and what they mean when they ask you to compose 'adaptive music for trigger zones', or 'music tags for each loop'. This course will give you all of that knowledge, without the need to learn any additional softwares! Familiarity with audio middleware is a useful skill. At the very least, it affords us valuable insight into the process by which our music is incorporated into game projects. In my experience, most development teams prefer to handle their own audio implementation. - Winifred Phillips (God of War, Assassin's Creed, Little Big Planet, et al.)What will you gain from completing the coursePsychological music theory secrets to manipulate players into feeling specific emotionsThe game composer's job, mindset, and approach to composing for gamesHow the orchestra works, and how to set up a virtual orchestra in your DAWCompositional guidelines for writing melodies, basslines, harmonies, chords, and rhythmsHow to score for emotion, setting, and mood/atmosphereGame-specific compositions like stingers, main titles, pause menus, multiplayer menus, character music, etc. How to ensure your music is immersive and doesn't become distracting at any pointHow adaptive music works, and which audio-integration techniques game developers may ask you to compose forHow to compose for various genres of video game, including Linear, Non-Linear, and InteractiveEssential techniques to mix and master orchestral music, and get your music sounding balanced, wide, and professionalExporting the files, and what audio format game developers are looking forAdditional Content: Various downloadable PDFs and links to additional reading/studyProjects throughout so that I can see your progress, and offer feedback on your workAdditional lecture hidden into the course wrap-upAn ENTIRE section dedicated to in-depth mixing techniques, taken from my EDMcourse to give you all the tools you need to achieve a modern, wide, and full sound - it's almost as if you're getting two courses for the price of one! I share everything I know with youEverything I teach you in this course has taken me years to learn. You're gaining 10+ years of game music composition knowledge in one complete course. The game industry is growing astronomically each year. It's going to need some talented composers to provide music for every new game! What's in it for me?Honestly, the gratification of seeing students succeed and learn. I am very passionate about teaching, and I truly believe that we should all be helping each other grow as composers and music producers. Musicians are extremely tight-lipped, and secretive about their techniques. I simply don't understand this. Which is why I am sharing this course with you to teach you the secrets behind why some game scores are so emotionally powerful, and why others just fall flat. Requirements: You will need to have a DAW (FL Studio, Ableton, GarageBand) and an ability to use the software to practice the techniques I teach you. You will also need to have a very basic understanding of music theory. Throughout the course, I am talking about notes, chords, minor, and major. I have tried to simplify everything as best as I can, but you will need this basic theory to be able to understand the concepts! So if you're ready to learn professional game music composition, music theory secrets, mixing, and mastering, buy the course and take your skills to the next level. There is a 30-day money back guarantee, so if you dislike the course (or me), you can receive a full refund. There really is nothing to lose!...
