Cinematic MIDI Packs to kick start your productions!

I created these using the same no-nonsense, efficient methods I've used to get a great sound and create dramatic music for TV for 22 years, but with minimum "drama".

"I've purchased several of Todd's MIDI packs. Which is odd, because I never really considered myself a MIDI pack person. I don't feel like I need MIDI packs to create compositions. I've gotten some TV placements, I've composed for corporate clients, I even wrote a ballet once. I'm pretty sure I was taking piano lessons long before Todd was born. And I can make my own C minor chord at home.
 
But anyone at any level can suffer from writer's block and would benefit from inspiration. Todd's MIDI packs can accelerate the production process by giving you something to put in the dreaded blank DAW. And it's helpful to see how others program their MIDI tracks to achieve a certain sound, especially composers who have been successful in the industry. That's why some people like to study MIDI mockups.
 
We're all on a journey to reach our own vision. Each of us needs different tools, training and skill development to keep moving forward. I have found Todd's various packs, like the minimal mystery cue starters, the Bourne pack, cinematic emotions, epic ostinatos and rhythm builders to all be tremendously helpful in both teaching how to achieve a specific style or sound, as well as validating some of my own approaches. For me, it's a chance to look under the hood and find out how to create a specific mood or sound. It's a chance to sharpen my technical skills and learn how to create the best "in-the-box" representation of the composition I hear in my head.
 
Bottom line? I have found value in every pack I've gotten so far, and I'll probably get more packs in the future. I hope this helps someone make the best decision for their own needs".

 "What makes Todd’s products so great could fill a phone book, so let me try to stick to the headlines:
 
1. First off, Todd’s approach is not about putting out “copy and paste” midi packs but education - every time he releases a new product it’s about empowering musicians to get an over-the-shoulder look into his tried-and-true workflow. Far more than generic lego-blocks meant for cookie-cutter music creation, Todd’s midi packs serve as valuable insight into how one might approach new cues in various styles.
 
2. For anyone studying MIDI programming, these files are a master class on the kinds of performances, velocities, and modulation curves that provide “that” sound - it’s eye opening to see just what combination of settings really deliver in each genre, and something Todd generously gives away with these packs.

 

 3. Seeing how Todd is able to get great orchestrations with minimal tracks, and to then view every detail broken out in your DAW, will help musicians of all levels raise their game, especially in genres they are not familiar with.

 Whether you’re just getting into the biz or looking to stretch your muscles into a genre you’re not familiar with,  these packs will be invaluable to you."

"I often buy midi packs from various producers. Most of the time I have to admit that I am disappointed. BUT the quality of midi packs on Media Music Mastery is really higher than all I have bought up to now. Not only the melody/chords progression choosen are really emotional, beautiful and inspiring. But having the automation (velocities …) already programmed is a real plus for quick composition and inspiration. Have bought quite a lot of them.
Highly recommand these midi packs.  👍"
