These tips could be a whole video series. Thanks for doing videos like these ones. I'm learning a lot, even as a working media composer.

Thanks a lot Michael for this great video, I really enjoyed it and would love to see more in detail videos like this one... I understand that you already have a course on Film scoring, consider releasing a course on film scoring harmonic and melodic techniques, I bet it will be a success ;-) Kind regards and many blessings, Max

What is all the hardware used for dynamics vibrato on pad I look ?

[handznet]

Awesome. Please make more about this style 🙏❤️

[gkgyver]

Is there a rule or guideline in using polytonality, which keys work together and which don't? The Williams piece, despite being in two keys at once, still sounds pleasant. What about, say, A minor over Bb minor?

[wernervannuffel]

Great stuff. Thank you very much! 👍👌

Great teacher. Questions: What DAW do you use? Is it necessary you are keyboard player to compose well?

[toddscotdrumcovers]
