Jack Wall

An interview for Spitfire Audio re: his score for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War states:

The majority of the synth sound was done using a Moog Sub 37 that also doubled up as a hardware controller alongside a wide variety of modern synth libraries. Wall’s experience as the lead composer for the Sci-fi RPG series Mass Effect also proved invaluable, allowing him to revisit updated versions of the softer synth libraries he used over a decade ago.

The Myst III score was largely written at Jack's home studio, so I asked him about his equipment and sounds of choice. "I use a G4 Mac with Digital Performer because I've just been using that forever, and I have GigaStudio on a PC. I use the Garritan Orchestral Strings library, and I've got a couple of Akai samplers and a JV2080 stuffed full of cards. I'm looking forward to the Vienna Symphonic Library — I heard a demo of it at the AES show here in LA in October and it blew my mind. It's all about trying to make the music sound as real as you can before fleshing it out into the orchestration."
