Los Angeles Times: The historic scoring stages of Hollywood — where orchestras record the music for IMAX blockbusters and Netflix binge-watches alike — stood empty and silent last year. The COVID-19 quarantine banished musicians to their closets and bedrooms, where solo players recorded files and sent them into the digital void for an engineer to blend into a patchwork symphony.

Although I think there will always be a time and place for large orchestras to record live, with the pandemic, we have proven that it is not always necessary, especially for low budget performances. We have midi technology which allows a composer to artificially put an instrument in and we have such great technology on our phones that we should be able to create a quality product without anyone needing to rent out a large orchestra hall. I do think this for a lot of major blockbuster films and hit tv shows they will still use this for a more authentic sound but I don’t see any reason why the incorporation of some of this cost saving practices would affect the show as a whole. I do think that the musicians that might have to record in their homes should get a salary increase so they can buy all the materials they need to be successful.
