This isn’t about Scaler per se but about composing. Anything learned can clearly be applied to Scaler in ways to expand on your musical knowledge.

Another interesting lesson if you are a fan of Studio Ghibli and the music of Joe Hisaishi.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing this. Interesting ideas and techniques. And I thought it was curious how he distinguished “the other” chord progressions as “Starwars” or “James Bond” movie’ish when all the chord progressions were building on emotions, and even the ones he taught are very suitable for a movie.
