Comment on The Best DAW For Film Scoring by Jaxon Powell

Also, watching a video about John Powell composing, it seems he was using ProTools, at least for How to Train Your Dragon 3.

Personally, John Powell is like a hero to me (no, we’re not related). How to Train Your Dragon is likely the singular best film score of all time, and I would absolutely love to be operating on the same platform as him. At the same time, however, not only do I not own an Apple device; I purposefully refuse to enter into their territory out of principle. I wish I could buy the Pro version, but Cubase will likely be my best option to start, as I am on Windows and the base edition is $100; a steep price for a 16 year old, but perhaps worth it.

I will first view the trial, and if it is a DAW I find comfortable and easy to work with, I may end up buying it.

I will say, though, you may want to include the prices of the base options for each DAW? As in, while Cubase Pro is almost $600, the “Elements” version is that $100 option I am looking into.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for this article Jonny! Extremely practical and also very inspiring for me as a composer who’s just taking the first steps. The points that resonated the most for me were about learning the language of the filmmaker and also the importance of production quality. The latter’s definitely a work in progress for me! Looking forward to reading more of your webpages.

Excellent synopsis. Well articlated. Easy to follow and understand.

I typically reverse engineer as a learning method, which works well 90% of the time. However, being able to draw from the experience of other adds to the quality profoundly. You provided a lot og great insights I wouldn’t have known about, save through your anecdotes. Bravo.

You have my gratitude.

A word of caution: Studio One struggles significantly with big projects and begins to break down – this has been ongoing through many releases and is still going on today. Great DAW, but probably not for scoring where you have dozens or more tracks, are using dozens or more gigs of ram etc. Presonus doesnt seem motivated to fix since many people aren’t using that DAW for score work.

My favorite movie score AND soundtrack is from Meet Me in Saint Louis. There’s not a bad note in it.
