Common in legato circles, but did feel a little excessive, particularly when it comes to the higher dynamic register. Meanwhile, the cello section also exhibits minor swells, but nowhere near to the same degree. We also need to point out occasional glitches in the legato sound, which are likely to be eradicated with future library updates.Thankfully, because of the significant options across the Legato articulations, you will probably be able to find something that works with your cue, though individual programming can do much to lessen any issues that might make your string section sound unrealistic.(Image credit: EastWest Sounds)It’s a wrap!Hollywood Strings 2 is a classy and versatile performer. It contains a significant number of articulation options, despite the relatively modest 160GB data footprint. It contains a significant number of articulation options, despite the relatively modest 160GB data footprintWithin the Opus instrument, sample loading is fast, while its low-latency performance is very impressive indeed. This does come with the price of CPU loading, which is definitely hungrier than other similar sample-based options, from other brands. The included ensemble size is arguably perfect for both commercial and cinematic applications, and with a richly diverse sound palette, this is a very usable library, at both the practical and sonic levels.MusicRadar verdict: EastWest has created a worthy addition to the applauded Hollywood Orchestra series, which provides enormous variety and tonal colour, applicable to a diverse set of musical placements.EastWest Sounds Hollywood Strings 2: The web says"The more intimate sound, and the excellent close‑miking options, deliver something distinct from, but complementary to, HS1.

In true cinematic style, EastWest’s Hollywood Strings returns for a sequel, but does it live up to the reputation of the original blockbuster?EastWest Sounds has been providing composers and producers with a broad spectrum of sample libraries since 1988. From relatively humble beginnings, which saw the company creating drum samples, it has established a firm reputation for providing exceptional sound sources, which are ideal for soundtrack scoring, although many of its sounds will feel equally at home in a number of other production scenarios. From the impressive Stormdrum series, to full orchestras and choirs, EastWest has something for all of your needs and for every sonic identity and production you can think of.(Image credit: EastWest Sounds)For its latest release, it returns to the traditional string section fold. Hollywood Strings 2 features a 21-piece string orchestra, recorded in the more intimate surrounding of Studio 2 at EastWest’s own recording facility, on Sunset Boulevard in LA.

Follow FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSWHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "OLD" SOLO STRINGS AND THE "NEW" SOLO STRINGS?Whilst we still love the character of the legacy product, it was one of our oldest and longest serving libraries. Times have changed, and we have returned to AIR Lyndhurst to revisit and improve on a Spitfire favourite.WHAT'S NEW?Everything! We’ve recorded entirely new samples, updated scripting and created a cleaner and easier to use GUI, all of which is presented as an NKS compatible Kontakt Player library. And unlike our old Solo Strings library, this product also includes double bass, and three different violin styles - Virtuoso, 1st Desk and Progressive - each with their own unique articulations. IS THERE A CROSSGRADE PATH FOR ORIGINAL SOLO STRINGS OWNERS?Yes! As a thank you for your loyalty, owners who purchased the original Spitfire Solo Strings before the firesale began on 15th March 2018 will receive a special discount. Add Spitfire Solo Strings to your cart, and our cart will intelligently calculate your crossgrade. Make sure you’re logged in first!WHY DO I NEED THIS PRODUCT?Since we recorded Solo Strings in the Lyndhurst Hall at AIR, the library will blend perfectly with most of our existing libraries, including our Chamber Strings, Symphonic Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, as well as all of the Albions. And just like those libraries, Solo Strings was recorded by award-winning engineers, using world-class equipment: priceless ribbon and valve mics through Neve Montserrat preamps, the largest 88R Neve console in the world, and onto pristine 2” tape before being converted with the top-of-their-class Prism AD converters at 96k.

But at least there is a possible fix and better yet - a way to avoid it. Thanks again for the advice. Problems like this can be a pain, but they do force one to learn.

In HS most patches use CC11 and/or CC1 to control volume (Expression). You will have issues if you don't initialize each track with a CC11 or CC1 message (depending on which patches your are using). My template for HO has starting CC values for every track embedded in the template.

What are you using? I am just starting out and any advice is really appreciated.Thanks againI have been very happy with this soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp. I realize others use external audio interfaces, but this one, combined with good headphones has been excellent. The cost is reasonable and it has good ASIO drivers. Make sure you get the latest drivers/software from Creative. Also remember to turn off mother board audio in the bios, if that applies. Edit: here is a good thread, where you also can see a few more comments I posted regarding this specific card. post edited by AllanH - 2015/12/05 11:58:57 Sonar Platinum, EWHO/D, Spitfire, Miroslav, Pianoteq, ...., Kurzweil.

It can take awhile with some instruments. I have/use Play but don't have any of the string stuff though so I'm not sure where you should look, it does have a lot of filter controls any of which could be your problem. You also can make a new instance and visibly compare the "bad" one to the freshly created one. Usually it ends up being a high pass filter of some sort or part of a ADSR set that is causing the sound to be zero. Good luck.

Firesong X Max Output Level: -88 dBFS Total Posts : 150 Joined: 2015/01/03 17:07:50 Status: offline I decided to try the EastWest Cloud Composer subscription and was looking forward to adding Strings from Hollywood Strings to my compositions. When it works it it sounds very nice. I am using Sonar Platinum Kingston and EW Play 4.3.1. I am using 64 bit Windows 10 on a Intel core i7-4770k @3.5 GHz with 16 GB of ram with a 2TB 7200 rpm Hd. The Windows system is on a separate SSD. I have the Play loaded as a VST2. The problem is dropouts, loss of sound while adding notes. One minute it works the next, adding a note causes the instrument to become silent. The only remedy is to delete the play and reload it. This can happen at random times with tracks that are completed. The composition will work fine many times In a row and then the next time the track is silent. Ion even the sound is lost, the only way to regain it is to reload Play. I noted that when this problem happens, the Midi signal sill shows up on the input meter but the output meter shows nothing.The cpu and memory usage is always very low. The voices never get higher than 30 and the maximum setting for the instrument (a legato viola) is 256. I have increased the midi playback buffers to 1500 mS (this had little effect). This does happen with other strings in HS too - mostly Legato.Sadly, I very excitedly started to replace the strings in several compositions only to discover this problem. Any solutions or advice that more knowledgeable or experienced people might provide would be most welcome as I am at a loss and very frustrated / disappointed. If I can't find a fix then the EW package may not be useable for me.Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.

Work in Sonar or in the standalone version of Play. If you reload viola 2 from the play browser either in sonar or the standalone, it works. Reload the file with the nonfunctional viola 2and it doesn't work (ie. No sound output). If you save a working version of viola 2 and then reload it either in sonar or the standalone browser, it always works.

This cases the synth to stop making sounds, and with lots of instruments it's not visibly obvious the filter got turned down to zero. The option is actually per-project, so depending on your templates (I had to fix every template on my system) you can easily get this to show back up again. It's never been clear why exactly Sonar decides to include a specific control channel in it's "zeroing". It doesn't zero everything, it's "picky" and so the behavior appears to be kind of random. For a long while it doesn't include the controller that is rigged to the filter cut off. Then suddenly decides it needs to zero that channel also when you press stop. From then on your instrument is silent. The option is in preferences under Project->MIDI "Zero Controllers When Play Stops" Firesong X Max Output Level: -88 dBFS Total Posts : 150 Joined: 2015/01/03 17:07:50 Status: offline Re: EastWest Hollywood Strings problems 2015/12/04 21:39:29 (permalink) I will give that a try.

Some legato patches combine articulations and use a tempo-detection script to switch between them. With skill, further subtleties can be achieved using finger position (FP) patches and, in some instances, MIDI CCs (portamento speed).Finally, it's worth saying that Hollywood Strings is purely section-based, so there are no solo instruments. However, EastWest have included full folders of 'divisi'-style patches captured concurrently using close mics to the left and right of each section. In practice, these can be useful for adding part clarity as well as producing traditional divisi (split) parts.All told, Hollywood Strings is an incredibly impressive but demanding instrument, both in terms of system resources and your own mental faculties. However, if you produce soundtrack music professionally and/or seriously, you'll be used to that. This is highly recommended.Listen to our audio demo to hear:Violin section: A single melody line played using the bow change, slur and portamento patch from the legato powerful system folder. In the first example playing tempo affects use of bow change samples, and velocity affects use of slur or portamento.Violin section: Using the same patch and performance this time we're using expression (CC#11) to control the loudness and timbre throughout, and mod wheel (CC#1) to control vibrato depth on held notes.Cello divisi: Here we're playing a part on a round robin Cello divisi patch first left (A) then right (B) perspective.Full strings: This part is played using the full string patch, each time we hear a different set of mics.
