I thought it would be fun and interesting to create a thread on discovering what DAW is known to have been used on films you have enjoyed, and to link them with the DAW or DAWs that were used in the making of them vie links or additional information such as quotes or videos. This might require a little research and just stating a DAW isn't enough...

"o" - features stereolab, add n to (x) and hairy butter.
most likely pro tools

clockwork orange : wendy/walter carlos - pre digital.

forbidden planet : louis and bebe barron - pre digital.

day the earth stood still : samuel j hoffman - pre digital.

star wars - john williams - pre digital.

then mostly slashers (mostly pre digital) gore (i think you know where this is going...) b movies (pre digital) or porn, chikka wah wah!! ( the good stuff with pubes, so pre digital)

for latter day production it's going to be Cubase/Nuendo, Logic with post in Pro Tools, DP. Not real interesting IME.
We could just say Zimmer/Cubase and be about done. Wendy Carlos uses Digital Performer.
I would find what virtual instrument/which libraries were used in x far more interesting. I think I recognize certain things I have. Heard in all probability SonicCouture Broken Wurli in Rectify, for instance. It's TV, but that's not very different.
The actual techniques used in some things, tho... I hear sound design frequently these days that's just incredible. In the good way.

Or, this guy Meyerson did the vintage jazz thing for Mank in MIR Pro, not real rooms (bc COVID).

Today it is Cubase and Pro Tools but it won't last long when the non-boomer new generation takes the charge.

Doubt anyone will give bunch of 20 year old's to be in charge of Hollywood, even in audio aspect, it's closed circle and handful of people that got mentored by those boomers only get a chance, later that same people will mentor another few to do the same thing using the same tools... you can always dream tho... that next Hans Zimmer and Alan Meyerson will use Live&FL and will be in position to demand everyone else to use it too...

There are very specific and clear reasons Zimmer, Holkenborg, Silvestri et al use Cubase or Nuendo rather than Fruity or Live, whatever age one is.
There're undeniable reasons people are using VE Pro and MIR Pro by the same token. And the integration between VEP and Cubendo is seamless and dead easy to set up.

I have pretty much zero interest in what other people do in a DAW, I have my own projects and ways and means. There's a video of Silvestri regarding his use of NI that's kind of interesting to me.

Although probably not exclusively, FLStudio is found to have been identified in the soundtrack.

Tron Legacy - Daft Punk - FLStudio

Daft Punk – producer
Mitchell Leib – producer
Joseph Kosinski – executive producer
Sean Bailey – executive producer
Jason Bentley – music supervisor

First of all non-boomer daws (whatever they are) need the ability to lock regions/events, markers etc. to timecode first instead of just grid let alone other advanced scoring features of Logic, Cubase or DP.

yep, im sure we can all find examples of a film, that was "scored" using something like live or fruity... (maybe not hollywood level, but lots of indie stuff...)
but thats the composition stage at most, it will then be dumped to audio, to be mixed to the film, in one of the industry standards, that work with video time codes and such.

What DAW Was Used On What Film ?
