Watch a free 7-minute excerpt of the course, from the "Composer Workflow" video.
"Hey Eddie,
Just wanted to let you know I purchased this course through Aaron and at about 75% complete I'm really enjoying it. I really, really enjoyed the small section on track organization and metadata, great info.
In my opinion, the business flow and organization can be the trickiest part to map out.
To be honest, I'm the guy who has been doing music since he was a kid but for the last year have been so discouraged I've been on the verge of giving up completely. I've gone through all the phases of music life with varying degrees of success and failure. Now being in my late 30's and having no desire to gig or promote my original music to the masses I really didn't know where to go.. I've taken Aaron's 90-day challenge before and though had a small placement or two and he was great I just wasn't able to focus like I am now.
Really what I wanted to say was thank you for putting this course together, sharing your knowledge and thank you for providing motivation and direction for me and others like me who wanted to throw in the towel. "
