Flexibility is therefore another plus. Electronics also allow to deepen the dynamic range to subwoofer shakes and beyond. In the era of the digital soundtrack, electronics have bigger potential than an orchestra. A battery of synths has the merit of sounding extremely massive. Just check out THE ROCK 's theme, presented over the main titles, and you'll know what I mean.

The Zimmer Way also has a couple of obvious disadvantages. This sameness is evident in the sound palette, for one. Electronics scores, even when complemented by a small acoustic ensemble, tend to be cheaper than the LSO or any other orchestra under union rules. When machines start replacing people 'cause people are too darn expensive, the shit is sure to hit the fan. Cheaper action scores run the risk of sounding cheaper .
