What's inside Trailer Music Trailblazers 2

The Rise of Legends Cubase Template

The exact template I used to write the album - downloadable, fully labeled, with notes on the instruments and plugins I picked and why.

12 Tracks, Dissected

Every track from Rise of Legends, broken open: overview and structure, then strings, brass, synth, choirs, percussion, special effects, and the mixing and mastering decisions on each one.

One Course-Exclusive Track

An extra trailer cue written exclusively for this course - composed from the ground up so you can follow every decision in real time.

Mixing & Mastering, Track by Track

How I get each cue from raw stems to a finished, broadcast-ready master - the same delivery standard the album was built to.

What Jeff Rona has to say about it

Jeff Rona testimonial video poster

"I've known Alex a long time, and he is truly one of the best trailer writers in the business. I can't believe how well he's put this course together to lay out EXACTLY how great trailers are conceived, written, and produced. This course is a no-brainer for anyone interested in scoring trailers and promos."

- Jeff Rona, Award-winning composer (film, TV, games)

From students Alex has trained

"I learned how to write music tailored for movies, games, and cinematic trailers. Alex provided incredible insights into mixing and mastering for these genres, which completely transformed my production quality."

Symeon Shawn · Music Producer / Composer

"Most probably the best tutor and motivator available! The content is not only overwhelming in quantity but also in quality - because it delivers what it promises!"

Marco Herbert · Music Composer

"The courses and lessons from Alex are absolutely incredible. I was able to significantly optimize my workflow, both in composition itself and in the business aspects."

Christoph Kuhlmann · Music Composer

"What Alex has prepared with his set of courses is no less than brilliant. Anyone looking to start a serious music business or scale one exponentially would benefit greatly from investing in his mentorship."

Quentin Bellow · Music Composer

"Alex has put together the best program of its kind that I know of. I've done loads of courses - you've found the best ones. You're in the right place."

Dave Graham · Music Composer

"I learned more in a month than I had probably learned in a year searching stuff on my own. I highly recommend anyone serious about taking their composing career to the next level to join Alex."
