Eastwest Hollywood Strings 2 (Serial Download)

Please note, this product is a serial download and not a boxed version. Once your order has been placed, you will be emailed shortly after with a download key to access your software.

The much-anticipated sequel to EastWest Hollywood Strings has finally arrived - but where the original was grand and epic, HS2 is all about capturing the close and the intimate. It features a 21-piece ensemble, recorded in the tighter environment of the EastWest Studio 2 for a nuanced, detailed and yet still cinematic experience.

A full range of articulations are included, of course - including legato, detache, pizzicato, staccato, spiccato, marcato, col legno, and even rare textural styles like flautando, each with up to four dynamics, ensuring an unparalleled level of expressiveness and realism. Whether it's the delicate whisper of pianissimo or the authoritative roar of fortissimo, every nuance is meticulously captured by an extensive array of microphones, granting you unprecedented control over the strings' performance and sound.

In a departure from convention, EastWest have delved deeper into the emotional core of the music, capturing every instrument with unprecedented closeness. The raw grit, depth, and resonance of each note are laid bare, thanks to a meticulous close-miking technique. With three independent close mic positions, alongside main, mid-field, and surround mics, the sonic depth you can achieve knows no bounds. And with Hollywood Strings 2 being Atmos-ready, the possibilities for immersive mixes are endless, catering to the most discerning ears.

Returning to helm this sonic journey are the visionary trio of award-winning producers Doug Rogers, Nick Phoenix and engineer Shawn Murphy. Their mission: to retain the cinematic quality of the original while ushering in a new era of granular control. The result is a sound that's crisp, clean, and dry, adaptable to any genre with effortless ease.

With a staggering library of 134 meticulously crafted instruments, Hollywood Strings 2 offers an unparalleled sonic palette, including the most lifelike trills and runs ever recorded. Each instrument resonates with breathtaking authenticity, courtesy of over 160 gigabytes of extensively sampled sounds. And with the cutting-edge OPUS engine powering it all, you have the freedom to cherry-pick individual instruments or download the entire ensemble at your whim, ensuring seamless integration into your creative process.
