Love your Spiderman mockup.Two points. Elfman is not unmockupable (is that a word? ). Second, reading this thread I still don't have a clue if this course is actually worthwhile. Anyone take it yet?
Well said, I couldn’t agree more. “Masterclass” is the wrong description for these.Are samples preferred over the best live orchestras? Probably not. Are samples preferred over a mediocre/bad live orchestra? Probably.
If you don't have much money and you want an orchestral sound you're probably better off with samples.
Regarding the value of the class, I'd say temper your expectations. These kinds of things tend to be interesting but not really informative. I've watched a bunch of the Masterclass series and I've not gotten anything that's of tremendous value. But they're interesting insights into the minds of the instructors.
So think of them less as a class and more as an extended interview or documentary.

I'm on the 4th video and have learned a few things - definitely worth it for the £19.99 monthly fee. Not sure yet if it's worth the £99 perpetual cost.Two points.

No, you will have to buy the pro membership. The John Powell masterclass is excellent. It is very on point and I think he structured it all really well, showing just one sequence, instead of just talking about most things. I felt that it was a fantastic way to spend 90 minutes of my time.
I hope that you will find it interesting and inspiring as well.
John Powell Masterclass? Where is that then? On Masterclass.com? Amazing if so!
It is on Mix with the Masters.
I'm sorry but I really don't get this "you can't mockup his scores" thing. A mockup is a mockup, and the real thing is the real thing. So what ? In that case, are there anybody's scores out there you CAN mockup ?
I haven’t gotten to that part yet. Do you think he meant the “small movie” itself had a $10M or under budget?
