Alan Silvestri

From the Sample Logic Blog page: "Alan Silvestri to CINEMATIC KEYS Sample Logic has changed my perception of what can be done with the piano. While the scripting and design in CINEMATIC KEYS allows for limitless possibilities, it’s the quality of the recordings that blow me away.

With the extensive range of sounds in this library, the piano can now be my orchestra, and Sample Logic has given me the keys to do it."

“I could be hitting 20 separate cuts in one scene. They’re all there in Cubase,” he says. “The markers would come over to Dorico, but they would be attached to SMPTE, and that wasn’t always going to work for me. When I start editing the music, if you don’t have the right version of the film and the timecodes adjusted, the markers are like on page 97 but the cue is only four bars long…”

Alan Silvestri clearly uses Dorico for his film scoring work, as shown in this video. At 3:36 in the video a "tall" time signature can be seen, which was first introduced in Dorico Pro 2 (the latest version), which proves that is the version he is using.
