The Rareform Rundown #59

Hello Friends,

Nathan here, this week I’m very excited to announce the launch of our first product for music composers and producers titled Echelon. This marks a new endeavor for the RA team and I. Would love to know what you think! More info about Echelon below.

Next we share some insight about Ryan Coogler (Sinners, Black Panther, Creed) and his unique deal with his movie Sinners that shows a new way to think of creative ownership. Lastly I tap into a discussion about trailer music selection and what ends up making the cut.

Let’s get itttt

We’re excited to announce the launch of Echelon, our first-ever cinematic soundpack for music composers and producers!

After working behind the scenes on hundreds of trailers, films, and global campaigns — and reviewing thousands of demo submissions each year — one thing was clear:
Modern cinematic sounds are either missing in tracks, or the same ones are overused from the same libraries.

So we built Echelon:
A high-impact, fully customizable preset pack for Serum, designed to give your tracks the cutting edge energy, originality, and flexibility today’s projects demand. Plus a collection of trailer FX to serve as a foundation for your trailer songs.

Whether you're scoring a trailer, building a cinematic moment, or pushing into sync licensing, Echelon gives you the foundation to create with confidence — and stand out!

Echelon: Cinematic Synths & FX (Serum & WAV) by Rareform Audio

Unlock the cinematic power trusted by Hollywood’s biggest studios. Echelon by Rareform Audio delivers cutting-edge synth presets for Serum 1 & 2 and essential trailer FX in WAV format—perfect for composers, producers, and creators ready to stand out.

In this blog, we’re looking at something that could seriously shake up the industry. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is getting a ton of praise, but it’s the deal behind the film that really stands out.

He locked in first-dollar gross, final cut, and even ownership of the film after 25 years. That kind of setup almost never happens with a major studio.

Some execs are already calling it dangerous. One told Vulture it could be the beginning of the end for the studio system.

Feels like a shift is coming. This might be the blueprint for what’s next.

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners Deal and the Bigger Conversation Around Creative Ownership

Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners is drawing attention for more than just critical acclaim—its groundbreaking deal with Warner Bros. reflects a growing trend toward creative ownership. As artists push for more control, this moment echoes shifts across music, film, and beyond. #CreativeOwnership

Film trailers aren’t just teasers anymore, they’re full-on events, racking up millions of views in no time. While the visuals get attention, it’s the music that truly drives the emotion and sets the tone.

Behind every trailer, there’s a battle between trailer houses, music supervisors, and composers, all pushing to land that perfect track. The right music can elevate a trailer from good to unforgettable, and everyone’s chasing that next big sound.

The Brutality of Trailer Music Selection: What Makes the Cut in the High-Stakes Game

The world of trailer music is more competitive than ever. With multiple trailer houses fighting for the final cut, music supervisors, composers, and editors work under intense pressure to craft the perfect soundtrack. Discover what goes on behind the scenes and why the right track can make or break
