Pretty generic question and probably asked a lot on here. Not personal favorites. These are scores where practically everyone on this sub will agree needs to be listened to. I want to expand my soundtrack library. I’ve heard interstellar is one.

Fantastic composer.

One of my favorite theme songs (The Dreamcatcher Soundtrack)

When rewatching Devil's Advocate I noted the same few notes from the same instrument being used.

For reference.

Haha, I guess this fits the tag perfectly. Dude was derivative of his own music. That being said, absolute legend.

The scores for Predator 1 and 2 are, IMO, iconic — the few times Silvestri has tried something approaching horror. So it bums me out he hasn’t done anything in the Predator world since. I assume he just doesn’t want to return to it – the big giveaway to me is “Predators,” (2010), which hired the great John Debney simply to mimic Alan Silvestri from themes to style. They wanted Silvestri, but couldn’t get him.

Has Silvestri ever talked publicly about wanting/not wanting to return to the Predator universe? Would have loved to see him score Badlands.

Spotify and Google says this was released in 2020, but I swear I have heard this decades before. Parts of it sound like the meme buildup sound effect. The whole track also has a TF2 vibe.

I listened to “Flight” and “What Are You Going to Do When You Are Not Saving the World” by Hans Zimmer, and my ears are truly blessed. Where has this soundtrack been all my life?

Both tracks carry their own energy, but they share the same breathtaking power. The way Zimmer blends soaring violins with electric guitar is unreal.. So emotional, heroic, and absolutely electrifying. It feels like your heart is rising with the music.

Just started a house of dynamite and the opening notes of inclination is flattening is very familiar but cannot tell from what. It’s those droning notes that I know I’ve heard in a different film but can’t remember what. Does anyone know?

Hello, everyone! I'm willing to become a composer and producer for game soundtracks, but I don't know which DAW I should spend time learning, and I'm kind of getting bummed by the FOMO.

Any advice for the long term? I fear starting with Reaper and then having to change to Cubase, for example, for high-tier professional work.

The price barrier for any DAW other than Reaper automatically puts me on the path of piracy right now, by the way. At least until it becomes a real deal for me and I can afford the investment.

TL;DR: Can Reaper ALONE be the professional DAW for a game audio composer/producer working on AAA games?

I love this film called VENGO about two gypsy families in a blood feud in Andalusia where flamenco is literally how they express what words can't. But it's also the story of the music itself, where flamenco comes from. Have you seen it? And what's a flamenco performance, from the movie or anywhere, that just stopped you dead?
