I am in Ladouceur's course and I give it two thumbs up especially considering the regular livestreams.

[@shyboy2112]

Excellent content!

[@TheCueTube]

Love the observation that the development, evolution and role of film music has shifted hand in hand with the rest of the filmmaking process and tech through the twentieth century and so on...

[@samazwe]

Thank you for this, just discovered your channel and this is so helpful as I recently started composing for visual media

[@ericdanielmeyer]

great perspective- took notes for next projects! Thank you for putting put such great content…your consistency is really appreciated!

[@PhillipArthurSimmons]

Excellent interview. Just enrolled in the course.

[@tobythehatmusic]

Excellent interview and chat Dan, looks like a great course, hope the discount lasts a couple of weeks, just spent my pocket money on Mercury🙄😆

[@citizenworld8094]

Great video Dan and keep up the good work. Question. Why has Avid abandoned Sibelius? (at least in new Macs) Buggy and not fit for purpose. I had to use an old version on an old Mac.

[@DanKeenMusic]

I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for that. I abandoned Sibelius for Dorico a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back

[@ccwaggoner]

Listened to this while I was transcribing a score and let me tell you -- 30 minutes have never gone by so quickly.

[@Yau_G.R.]

I wanted to say "First!", but it wouldn't be true. There is another view and 1 like. I failed.

[@stephenalexandarmusic]

Hope your music is more in sync than the audio in this video ;) however very interesting to listen to

[@DanKeenMusic]

All seems fine to me! Any points in particular?

[@stephenalexandarmusic]

Watched it on the road, maybe just a bad connection, it looked fully out of sync, but quickly checking it again at home looks fine.

[@Riquezes]

Passive aggressive much?

[@stephenalexandarmusic]

@@Riquezes Not really sometimes shit can happen and I would prefer if somebody tells me in case of. Don’t know why that is aggressive in any way

[@rubenmolino1480]

there are no secrets!...if you don't have imagination!,...and technical knowledge of orchestration,.counterpoint and harmony...improvisation...nobody buys it anymore!...learn something from stravinsky
