Rob,
I'm not going to speak on William's behalf, that would be offensive.

Alex.

Okay, if no one is to be offended then DG...what is it about the word "they" am I not explaining? When I said they, it's very simple: they as a collective group in LA (sorry, but that's where they're located), doing anything from Disney theme park shows, to TV commercials, to an Aerosmith session and including the style they have developed for a certain genre of orchestral film recording and then turn right around performing legit classical.(sorry for the run-on sentence)
Just as the LSO is the best at what they do for certain other styles and genres. (they're also, believe it or not, less expensive! LSO that is...) For example: when I was considered for the Bobby Jones film I wanted the sound of the LSO...when Horner got it he chose LA. I didn't nessecaraly agree with the choice but it's comes down to the composer's preference.
That's just the way I see and hear it. Nine times out of ten I can always tell you by listening to the score where it was recorded. (Okay, eight out of ten) And as you know, the stage and/or hall also plays into this. I believe that they are a very talented diverse group of musicians that come from all over the world and that they are the best at what "THEY" do. Admitably, they sort of win that by default though because I'm really not sure where else there's such a diversity of music being recorded. (And remember I said "I'm not sure". I know I don't have to say "please correct me if I'm wrong" but please correct me if I'm wrong) It doesn't mean that they are better than the LSO or Seattle or Toronto or any other horn, brass, string, reed, perc etc players here or Neptune for that matter. It's just my humble opinion.
And also, I was never the one to coin the phrase "Hollywood Sound" so don't even tell me that I'm perpetuating it. I made sure that after it was brought up that I used quotes because it's not a real and viable slang. I originally used the term "LA type of TV and Film Scoring" as opposed to let's say the "LSO Sound" or the "Las Vegas Sound" or the "New York Sound" or the "Nashville Sound". And tell me that each of those didn't put a mental and audible picture in you minds ear. I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that Vienna has a different sound than London. Trust me, I take nothing away from any players anywhere...I have great personal friends in orchestras from LA to Cincinnati to Charlotte to where ever and they could play with whom ever they please. I don't even like LA! (the city that is!!) [:D]

Waaaay too much time on your hands, but thanks for clearing that up.

Sorry to hear you don't like Block typing Spartacus. I agree it seems odd to read without any break in sentences perpetuated by paragraphs.
Perhaps
this
would
be
better.
As
an aside,
how the
golf
going?
What's your
handicap?
Regards,
Alex.

Daryl,
It was I who penned the phrase hollywood sound. I'm at a loss though to understand the difference between a hollywood sound and an LA sound.
I really must get out more.
Regards,
Alex.
(Currently studying in Russia, and a listener to the 'Moscow' sound whenever i can. Very, very, good string players.)

Hey Alex,
Is it safe now?? [:P] You boys been having some fun huh?
Handicap was 6 - but since my health problem they have given me one of 13. My eyesight is not too good with reading.

Yes Paul,
You can take off your armour, and put the pike away.
As i haven't played golf in 5 years, my handicap is a bag of clubs, so if we ever have a game, i'll take 5 strokes, and 20p a hole! (Winner buys lunch.)
Regards,
Alex.
p.s. I have a question. When you add music to a film, be it short or long, what format does the film come in? Is it video, with some sort of timing lock, or another format? (Quicktime?)

Enjoyed the discussion on "Pasture pool"
You can get extra bite of course on the trumpets by adding some eq.
If someone mentioned this all ready sorry, but in going through the posts I didn't see it.

20 pence a hole? That's serious money Alex. [:P]
For TV - usually video with code. hours - minutes - seconds -frames.
