Sorry about that!

Great to see DP on Sunday Morning, even if most of the entire world would not know that it was DP! :rofl:

I saw that. I thought that was pretty cool. Also he lives north of NYC and composes out of his home.

Lately Alexandre Desplat has DP running in the background when he's interviewed. He still uses it as well. Lotta guys do. Solid program.

Mike Patti of CineSamples also swears by it.
