Video Game Music: The Complete Composer's Guide

Course details

Stevenunpacks everything oneneeds to know about how to create music for video games from the composition side...to doing business with an independent game developer. This course is up-to-date, can be applied to several DAW's (even Linux music applications), and could possibly land the average student a job as a full-time composer if they put in extra work in their spare time...I also advise checking out Steven'sYouTube channel as well for extra tips to making great music.This course and everything he understands as a money-making-musician is highly recommended!Aaron P.

I really like the way this course is built andallofthe information that I am learning...itcontains all of theknowledge you need to knowif you want to work in the industry! Vincent G.

I love how thiscourse is designed as if it is a video gamewith levels and bosses to defeat, which makes it really fun to learn and progress. I enjoyed Steven's in-depth information about how to recreate different retro consoles (both 8-bit and 16-bit) as precise as possible, lessons about how to sample instruments, and hisoverview of the three biggest middleware software and how to use them with Unity. Allof theextra content (Q&As,tutorials, business, etc.)are a great additionto this course. Lisa H.
