Personally if I have the say, I don't ever want to record in LA on my films. Not only from a budgetary standpoint, but an aesthetic one - There's just a richness of sound, especially in the strings, of London-based orchestras in particular (though there are now amazing orchestras all over Europe that cost a fraction of the LA recording price tag). I don't care for all the silly bureaucracy of LA recording, a problem I see as a microcosmic version of bigger problems with Hollywood filmmaking right now.
Plus, can't help but notice the correlation between the fact that scores recorded with the "Hollywood Symphony Orchestra" usually amount to the kinds of marginal, bland modern scoring I loath (with a few exceptions of course, like JOHN CARTER) while scores recorded elsewhere in the world - i.e. far away from the plying eyes of producers and executives and the like - often amount to far more musically compelling works.
Can't help it, I've noticed this KEENLY for close to a decade now. Surely it cannot be a coincidence.
Plus... If it's cheaper anyway... Why NOT go to London and record at an amazing venue like Abbey Road or the like...?
