You can enable the built reverb and mix it to taste. It has a bright, lush, present sound, which means it can cut through complex mixes very well. It certainly lives up to its name with that instantly recognisable ‘Hollywood’ sound.ĭespite being recorded in a room, I do find it to be relatively dry, with only a subtle room ambience when using the main microphones. Hollywood Strings Gold/PlatinumĮast West Hollywood Strings was created by Hollywood music producers Doug Rogers, Nick Phoenix, Thomas Bergersen and sound engineer Shawn Murphy. Again it is down to personal choice as to which of these you prefer from a workflow and flexibility perspective.
Some libraries are recorded ‘wet’ – which include the sound of the room they were recorded in – and some ‘dry’ with no room ambience whatsoever.
Some libraries are great for those Zimmer-Esque epic tracks, and others are better suited for more traditional orchestral pieces. The appropriate library for you also depends on the type of music you’ll be composing. In truth, I don’t think there is any one perfect library.Įach one has strengths and weaknesses, and often a great deal can be achieved from blending several to create the sound you need. New libraries pop up every month or so, all professing to be the best and urging you to press the ‘buy’ button as soon as they’re released. Finding that string library that can do everything you want can often feel like a never-ending quest to find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
