Why "Scoring Lab" exists

Mute a movie and you lose everything. The voice, the dialog, the surrounding sound. Stock footage gives you empty visuals with no story. And professional studio material is simply not accessible unless you are already working inside one.
-
Some of the footage and clips are part of the Sonic Spaces music production course. New footage is constantly produced and added to the "Scoring Lab". Pricing may be subject to change over time but will never affect existing members.

What people say  

I never realized how much the narration changes everything. Same footage, different script — I scored it three times and it felt like three completely different films. Nothing like this exists anywhere else.
Sarah M. — Music Producer
Finally something practical. I've been looking for real footage to practice on for years. This is exactly what was missing.
James R. — Film Student
The bayside scene with the thriller narration gave me chills. I scored it as a romance first, then redid it as a crime opener. Both felt completely real. Incredible tool.
Elena V. — Musician
I used to mute films and try to score them but it never worked without the voice and sound. Scoring Lab solved that problem completely.
Marcus T. — Music Producer
Affordable, professional, and unique. I recommended it to everyone in my music program.
Yuki N. — Composer
The same sunset scene made me write the most beautiful piano piece and then a dark cinematic track. I couldn't believe it was the same footage. This changed how I think about music."
David L. — Musician
I always wanted to try scoring but Arthur is right, muting a film makes no sense, and writing on top of an existing score is pointless. Scoring Lab is the only place where you actually have something real to work with.
Michael K. — Musician
