EASTWEST-1181124
The long-awaited sequel to Hollywood Strings has finally arrived. But this time we made a hard pivot: Instead of going bigger we recorded a tight 21-piece group in EastWest Studio 2 for our most nuanced string library yet — smaller room same production team no less cinematic.
You’ll find 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 you unprecedented control over the performance and sound of the strings. EMOTIONAL. INTIMATE. RAW. We close-mic’d every instrument closer than we ever have before capturing the grit depth and air of every note in the finest detail possible.
You can independently control 3 separate close mic positions (including mics attached directly to the instruments) plus main mid-field and surround mics. There’s no limit to the depth you can create — Hollywood Strings 2 is even Atmos-ready so you can create Atmos mixes in DAWs that support Atmos.
