    Structure of a Trailer Cue

    Structure of a Trailer Cue

    Welcome to Episode 9 of Trailer Therapy! This week Bryan and Brian espouse the basic rules of trailer music... and when to break them.
    They also giver their advice to a composer who lives in a country where their income is too low to be able to afford the necessary VSTs and software most composers take for granted.
    Because of the Thanksgiving holiday week, there weren't a ton of tentpole trailers released so the hosts are doing a reset.

An absolute must-listen for those interested in trailer music!

It can be super tough for new comers to learn the ins and outs of the industry but this podcast has been an absolute treasure trove of great insights and stories about how trailers and trailer music gets made and placed!
