Hey everyone, Some of you have asked me what happens inside Audio Artist Rise, my mentorship program for composers. Today it got a whole new home, and there's a new, easier way in. Audio Artist Rise now runs on its own platform at audioartistrise.com, built from the ground up for composers who are serious about their careers. The heart of it is the live calls. Twice a week, for two hours, we get together and work on whatever moves your career forward: finding clients, outreach, your reel, publishers, pricing, your tracks. You bring your questions and get honest feedback, and you hear what's working for others right now. No theory. Just what actually works. Here's what members say: "I learned more in a month than I had probably learned in a year searching stuff on my own." Leandro Bastos, Trailer Music Composer "After sending a few emails, I literally got a reply within two minutes and got my first paid gig in the video game industry." Jesse Heslinga, Music Composer New: Live Calls for $27 a month - 8 live calls a month, every Tuesday at 6 PM and Thursday at 10 AM CET - Send me your questions and tracks before the call, so we get to them - The same room as the full members - Cancel any time Want everything? All Access, $97 a month or $970 a year - The full live call archive, every call we've recorded and searchable - A community of active composers, with member profiles and your demo reel or website on yours - New RISE training videos, coming soon - Every one of my courses You can start with the live calls and upgrade to All Access any time from inside the platform. Take a look at the plans here: https://audioartistrise.com/#plans Prices are plus VAT. Pay by card or PayPal. Questions? Drop them in the comments and I'll answer. Alex

Blazar Core 0.5 is out, for Windows and macOS. It's the biggest update so far, made for composers who work with large templates. 🛰️ Satellite: your instruments play in a program of their own. Your template loads once and stays loaded from cue to cue, and if an instrument crashes, only Satellite stops. Your session keeps playing. ✨ Zenith: a mastering suite made for trailer music, with every stage on one screen. Put it on the melodic bus, the percussion bus and the master, and click Listen. 🔁 Game Loop: lay out a game's music as loops with intros and outros, plus one-shots. Export writes each part as its own file, and every loop repeats seamlessly. 🎬 Flare: turn a passage into a video for social media, in five styles and three shapes, with your mix at -14 LUFS. Also new: Retrospective Record (press Ctrl+Num * to keep what you just played, even though you didn't record it), the Polaris chord guide track, the Undo History, note chase, and switching between sessions in seconds. Under the hood, Blazar Core now runs on Graviton, its own engine, built from the ground up, with less processor load on large templates.

For as long as I can remember, I've had a dream of building a fun way to help people understand music theory. Many years ago, I started creating a music theory world inside Minecraft. I have no idea how many hours went into that world, and I never really finished it. Now, many years later, I've finally made MusiCraft happen as its own little game. It's still in early access, but it's getting there. No sign up needed. Just play it free in your browser and let me know what you think 🙌 https://musicraft.alexpfeffer.com/

I build Blazar Core for composers, and this update goes after everything in your day that isn't music. Game composers, this one is for you. Game Loop exports your intro, your loop and your outro in one go: three files that join seamlessly, and a loop that repeats without a click. No more bouncing the same cue three times and listening for the seam. Every session open at once. Keep the cue you're writing, the one the director just sent back and tomorrow's delivery side by side in tabs. The sessions you aren't in free their memory and CPU. Luminosity tells you in plain words whether your mix is ready for streaming, Apple Music or broadcast, bar by bar. Bolide is a percussion synth with a 16-step sequencer, built right in. Trailer hits and pulsing hi-hats without loading a single plugin. Every alternate mix in one export: the version without the choir, the one without the drums, all at once. Plus three new looks, your own keyboard shortcuts and a tidier mixer. Try the whole program free for 30 days, with nothing held back: https://store.alexpfeffer.com/blazar-core-trial Already on 0.3.9? Click Update in Blazar Core and you're on 0.4.0. Windows and Mac. Early access is $79 now and goes up to $149 at release.
