EastWest has announced that is newest virtual instrument collection is now available for purchase, both as a standalone purchase or part of a ComposerCloud+ subscription.
Hollywood Strings 2 offers a rich experience like never before. Recorded in the legendary EastWest Studio 2, the collection features a tight 21-piece group – smaller room, same production team – up close and intimate.
Hollywood Strings 2 provides all the essential articulations, 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. From the delicate intimacy of pianissimo to the commanding authority of fortissimo, and everything in between, articulations are captured with exacting detail by an extensive array of microphones, giving composers unprecedented control over the performance and sound of the strings.
Every instrument is mic’d closer than ever before, capturing the grit, depth, and air of every note in the finest detail possible. Users can independently control 3 separate close mic positions (including mics attached directly to the instruments), plus main, mid-field, and surround mics. Hollywood Strings 2 is even Atmos-ready to create Atmos mixes in DAWs that support it. Epic arrangements are impressive, but there’s more to strings than scale alone… and while its predecessor is indeed epic, Hollywood Strings 2 goes even further, molding itself to any task.
Hollywood Strings 2 is available to purchase for $399 USD. It is also included in every ComposerCloud+ subscription for $19.99 USD/month or $149 USD/year. For new subscribers, EastWest is also offering a one month trial of ComposerCloud+ so they can try Hollywood Strings 2 and all 60+ EastWest products for free.
