EastWest has released their newest virtual instrument collection, Hollywood Strings 2.
Hollywood Strings 2, recorded in the legendary EastWest Studio 2, features a tight 21-piece group – smaller room, same production team – up close and intimate. It 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.
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 close, 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.
Hollywood Strings 2 was recorded in EastWest's own Studio 2, home to classic themes from The Beverly Hillbillies, Hawaii Five-O, and the soundtracks to Encanto and A Star is Born. The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Weezer, and Metallica have also recorded in Studio 2 for its tight and punchy sound.
Pricing: $399 in the KVR Marketplace. Hollywood Strings 2 is also included in the ComposerCloud+ subscription at or $19.99/month or $149/year.
