Sometimes you want nuance, but sometimes you want orchestral, big-screen bombast, and in our own experience, there's nothing that hits quite like EastWest's Hollywood Orchestra, which is currently reduced by $150 with our friends at Sweetwater, and on EastWest's website.
This newer version of EastWest Sounds' original collection of sampled orchestral instruments, peerlessly recorded by Hollywood sound engineer and industry stalwart Shawn Murphy, allows deep control, offering a wealth of playing styles, articulations and mic placements.
It's those meticulous original recordings that still provide the heart of the Opus edition, but they’ve been reconfigured for the new Opus engine. This latest version also throws 130GB of brand new recordings into the mix.
Designed by Cubase and Studio One developer Wolfgang Kundrus and Wolfgang ‘Kontakt’ Schneider, Opus is a modern and flexible route to control this massive selection of instruments. It's a good looking interface too, which modifies its colour scheme depending on your currently selected preferences.
Within the suite you'll be able to work with:
- Hollywood Strings
- Hollywood Brass
- Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds
- Hollywood Orchestral Percussion
- Hollywood Solo Violin
- Hollywood Solo Cello
- Hollywood Harp
