Virtual Orchestration: A New Aesthetic
Composers for film and video games generally make use of digital audio workstations (Pro Tools, Cubase, etc.) to complete their work. Sample libraries, virtual instruments, and extensive programming in their chosen software allow them to produce realistic sounding mock-ups that serve either as placeholders until their music has been recorded or, in some cases, as the final product itself.
