Edmond, hello. I am a newbie on taxi. My goal this year is to learn how to produce epic trailer music aspiring to the pro level of your Forge of Destiny trailer. If you could assist in helping find a good instructor or online course for me to learn how to produce this type of music, I would really appreciate it. TY!
Edmond himself delivers a very good Trailer Walkthrough Tutorial on Sync Academy. Although I don't have an active membership now , I still have the list of sound libraries used for that tutorial if you want some insight

Audio Imperia: Decimator
Audio Imperia: Talos
Audio Imperia: Cerberus
Ava: Instinct (free version)

Cinematic Sounds (Generdyn sound set on 99sounds.com) - free

Cinebrass Pro
Cinematic Strings
LA Scoring Strings
u-he Zebra
u-he DIVA
u-he Hive
NI Giant Piano
Spitfire Audio LABS Soft Piano
8dio 1969 Legacy Piano
8dio Hybrid Tools
Heavyocity Damage
Heavyocity Gravity

Hardware used (not necessary, but fun):

E-mu e6400 sampler
Korg Miniloge
Waldorf Pulse 1
Electrix Filter Factory
Eventide Space (plugin equivalent - Eventide Blackhole)
Digitech Polara
Electro-Harmonic Operation Overlord
That's quite extensive Marc :D
I don't own any piece of hardware although that would be fun to have.
The Cinesamples Cinebrass, and Cinestrings, along with the Spitfire Albion 1 are my go to orchestral sample instruments. Damage (at the time of the tutorials) along with Damage 2 are my choice of Percs with some addition of personally built hits, and some other samples. For everything synth, I primarily use Alchemy (built in logic synth) and I've began toying with Vital (free). So basically that's it.

Welcome to the family Brian! There are awesome and inordinate amount of knowledge out there to get you started. My advice is start by listening to tracks you'd like to sound like, and analyze them in depth. Not just tempo, and instrumentation, but try to dig deeper: what does each instrument do, how does it evolve, what are the different parts etc.. a lot of practice will help.. so take it easy, write, and write more.. don't give up

Wow! GREAT track! :D Trailer music is one tough nut to crack and you do it so well. A great example as to what meets the bar for a trailer music listing like this!

Best of luck! :mrgreen:

Casey :D
Thank you Casey! Appreciate the kind words! :)
