Today we’re going to take a look at the Hollywood Strings 2 plugin from EastWest, which is a new addition to the series and it brings some different qualities to the table which are pretty intriguing, especially for the bedroom producer!
With Hollywood Strings 2, we get more intimate, precise and detailed articulations that were recorded in the legendary EastWest Studio 2 by the same award winning team from the original Hollywood Strings library.
We also have control over several different mic positions for each of the instruments so you can really dial in on the sound you’re looking for.
So with that in mind, let’s make a beat with Hollywood Strings 2 and show you what it can do!
