Hollywood Strings 2 features a 21-piece string ensemble recorded in the legendary EastWest Studio 2 using close mic techniques never achieved before — until now. While Hollywood Strings 1 excels at epic blockbuster soundtracks, Hollywood Strings 2 is perfect for those in-your-face, emotional moments in your score. With high precision playing and fast articulations, its versatility also makes it well-suited for modern genres like pop, rock, hip hop and more. Rather than replacing Hollywood Strings 1, this sequel serves as the perfect compliment so you can compose everything from intimate studio pieces to full-on orchestrations.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

  • Includes all 5 highly detailed strings sections perfect for a close up and intimate sound, available as separate instruments (6 1st Violins, 4 2nd Violins, 4 Violas, 4 Celli, and 3 Basses), and together in full string ensemble performances with all 21 players in octaves.
  • Offering six microphone positions that allow you to tailor the sound to your exact specifications, Hollywood Strings 2 puts you in control of every nuance with an range of intimate close mics, and an array of microphones capturing the tight, magical room sound of EastWest’s Studio 2.
  • Use the Moods to find the right feel for your composition. Use the Soft mood for more detailed, intimate writing, the Classic mood for a traditional studio orchestral sound, and Epic for a larger, cinematic sound. The color of the user interface indicates the currently selected mood.
  • Comes with innovative new features and a suite of powerful effects available in our revolutionary Opus software engine.
