Yeah yeah, but actually, Mr. Dantz was asking how Schreck can possibly know that “the symphonic piece by Danny Elfman sounds great.”
Has he heard it yet?
That “G sharp, B flat, A” brass motif at the beginning… I seem to understand where Danny’s inspiration for Sleepy Hollow came from…
It does sound like a real string section spiced up with samples which is a common way to do when the budget does not allow a big orchestra (as pointed out before).
Anyway, Elfman uses Digital Perfomer for MIDI, sample triggering and stuff . ProTools is used for recording, audio arranging/editing and mixing. It’s MIDI features are a pain in the arse and are hardly used by anyone in the business. So no, it does not “perform”.
>he doesn’t like composing action scores.
I think that’s got to do with… sound fx and film producers ruining his music.
>What is “Grau”? Is it a film?
Yes.
>Those instruments sound like real live played instruments to me.
That’s what they are – with the exception of Track A where only the flute and the grand piano are real instruments.
The other stuff comes from
– Miroslav Vitous
– Peter Siedlaczek
– Symphony of Voices
– Giga Harpand some personal libraries recorded by myself.
I use Logic with the EXS24 for MIDI stuff and ProTools for the rest.Thank you very much for all your nice comments! I appreciate it!

He did “The Last Samurai”. His finest work to date IMO.
