Any other recommendations? |
your list is really good. logic or DP is the way to go.
PT is used when you already export your basic tracks as submixes from logic/DP and its used in a pro studio where u can record overdubs or orchestras.
i didnt know cubase as reliable for film score but i changed my mind when i saw hanz zimmer and everyone in thier studio using it.
but besides DAW choice. i think you definitly need to have an extra computer for samples/vsts. i have a pretty fast mac and still i cant run all the stuff i would want to. well, its not about if it can handle a whole orchestra.. its about loading the damn orchestra inside the computer in the 1st place. you can have the 2nd pc ready for samples.
i have gone to lots of film score studios here in LA and everyone with a studio has more than 2 or 3 pcs for samples only, all connected to the main computer sequencer. for home stuff, just a second pc with a big HD will do.
oh, dont forget an extra HD for audio and another for samples. well, as soon u get the VSL then youll have no choice but to get another HD.
i would recomend having the East west stuff which is really good. the gold or platinum along side the VSL will make your sound expand a little mor.e
depending on the style of film scoring.. i would sugest checking out ableton live.
its great for adding/tweekin loop fxs. you can just grab from any sample loop library and tweekit and you can use it rewired to logic and create its own channels .
dont forget native instrument stuff. just get komplete 4.
