EastWest Hollywood Strings 2 | Modern String Library with Ultimate Detail
EastWest Hollywood Strings 2 is a brand new chapter in the acclaimed Hollywood Orchestra series, designed for moments demanding ultimate detail and emotional intensity.

Whether for delicate monologues in film scores or modern pop, rock, and hip-hop productions, it delivers the most direct and authentic string sound source experience, making it a perfect complement to Hollywood Strings 1.
