Does anyone know what score software Danny Elfman uses? Is it true that while all of his early-period scores were performed by orchestras, that portions of his more recent scores were done entirely by synthetic means? Whatever he's using, it's on my wish list, because my synthesized sketches still sound like they came out of a Cracker Jack box.

He uses MOTU Digital Performer. So does Don Davis, Michael Giacchino, Desplat, Shore, Goldenthal, pretty much most Hollywood biggies...,

He has been using LA Scoring Strings lately, with "Alice in Wonderland" being the most recent example.

I apologize for posting before I'd changed the cumbersome number. I did end the original post with my name, however. Thanks to all who responded to my question.

Why to use sample libraries for strings since he has the ability to have real strings??
By the way, i think he had mentioned also that he used Omnisphere in Terminator Salvation!

For mock-ups? The whole point is to have a version of the cue that can be reviewed before you spend money trying to record it and finding out that it's wrong.

I switched to Pro Tools in early 2009, since it became more composer friendly. I previously used Digital Performer. I'm trying to convince MG to switch too, but he loves the "chunks" feature too much

Hey Chris...I've been an avid user of DP for years but never really delved into the Chunks feature. How does he like to use it? -- multiple versions of the same cue so that it's all located in one project folder?
Thanks!
The chunks feature is useful for having every cue of an entire film score you are writing immediately accessible. That way you can check, or even copy paste ideas/themes from one cue to another one in order for you to expand on it without starting from scratch. It's a nice feature, but I got used to living without it in PT, and happily accepted the benefits, which are mainly speedy and reliable performance, good backup system, files take microseconds to save regardless of their size, etc. It also looks really nice. DP looks like something from the 90s, though I think DP 7 improved it's look quite a bit.
