No real musical theory might end up on bad practices latter on, most of the time it is harder to learn later. For the price (compared to other courses) I was expecting a bit more on theory, I have a tiny bit of experience so I can handle myself somehow, but as a true beginner, there is too much left behind

If I say it was kind of good...... Even for a complete beginner myself who doesn't have any skills or no experience in making music for those who are reading this, I would recommend this course if you are a video game developer or a Music composer trying to get hired by a big Gaming Industry.
