      Hollywood Strings 2 features a 21-piece string ensemble recorded in the legendary EastWest Studio 2 using close mic techniques never achieved before \u2014 until now.

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
