Produced by industry titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix and sound engineered by Academy Award and BAFTA winner Shawn Murphy, Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition is the culmination of over a decade of recording and programming and is the industry standard for achieving professional sounding orchestral soundtracks. And now it includes over 130 GBs in brand new recordings, reimagined original content, powerful new features housed in our revolutionary OPUS engine, and Hollywood Orchestrator, a must-have tool for composers who want to create a blockbuster soundtrack in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRAND NEW RECORDINGS AND REIMAGINED ORIGINAL CONTENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand new recordings include a new 18 violin string section for Hollywood Strings, new ensembles for Hollywood Brass and Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds, plus new string, brass, and wind multi ensembles. \"The new 18 violins are an alternate to the first 16 violins of the original library. They have a different sound,\" says producer Nick Phoenix, \"the players are different. The vibrato is different. The legato is the best we have ever recorded. They work well with the existing collection or as a replacement for the original 1st violins. The new 2 tenor trombones have a completely different sound from the 3 trombones in the original collection. The new trombones are warm, full, and extremely precise. 2 trumpets were recorded again using two of the best players in the Hollywood film score scene. The legato is blazing at high velocities and sounds like a live performance.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe programming of the original content from Hollywood Orchestra has been updated to take advantage of the features included in the new Opus software engine, as well as the Hollywood Solo Instrument Series (now included in this expansion). Particular focus was placed on Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds. After improving the original woodwinds, new ensembles were recorded, including 3 bassoons, 3 clarinets, and 3 flutes. \"Once again, this was a huge success because of the quality of the players,\" says Phoenix, \"Each woodwind ensemble works together on a regular basis and the tuning and timing are immaculate. These new recordings are unmatched in the virtual instruments world. The Opus Edition also includes new string, brass and wind multi ensembles that have a unique fat sound that captures the tuning of a large orchestra playing together in a live setting.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePOWERFUL NEW CONTROLS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowerful new controls include Master key-switches where all articulations can be fully customized in the new OPUS articulation palette. You can customize the sound of each instrument using the new MOODS feature. Classic Mood is the original Hollywood Orchestra sound. Soft modifies the sound for slower, more emotional passages. Epic Mood does the opposite, giving you a sound perfectly suited for your next Action Adventure score. Each mood changes the settings and look of the interface, which has been completely redesigned and stylized for Hollywood Strings, Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds, Hollywood Percussion, Hollywood Solo Violin, Hollywood Solo Cello, and Hollywood Harp. In addition, we simplified all instrument versions down to LITE and MAX, making Hollywood Strings in particular much easier to navigate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHAT MAGICAL HOLLYWOOD SOUND\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course, Multiple Academy Award and BAFTA winner Shawn Murphy was brought back to sound engineer the new recordings.

Producers Rogers and Phoenix were dissatisfied with most synths, which typically had a small percentage of usable patches and a lot of filler.

If your arsenal is missing the ancient and traditional folk strings needed to give your orchestrations an authentic edge, your collection will finally match the limits of your imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Hardanger Fiddles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps Norway's most prized musical contribution, the hardanger fiddle is similar to a violin but with a more vibrant, brilliant quality owing to its body construction and doubled strings - it often sounds like two violinists playing at once! Some of its most stunning uses in modern music are in Howard Shore's Rohan theme from Lord of the Rings and Bear McCreary's traditional string arrangements in God of War. Try it out on brilliant, lyrical melodies and sub it in for violins when you need to add in a Viking flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Lutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lute is famous for its role in Renaissance folk music in the hands of troubadours and singers, functioning much like the 12-string guitar with a greater midrange emphasis and gentler character. It's been used in countless soundtracks, including The Tudors, Whisper of the Heart, Only Lovers Left Alive, the popular roguelike game Hades and much more. This 10-stringed instrument is equally adept at both virtuoso passages and providing a smooth chordal background for the viola da gamba and hardanger fiddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Viola Da Gambas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever listened to sonorous, non-vibrato Baroque bowed string music, you've probably had a taste of the viola da gamba's vibrant quality. Similar in shape and sound to a cello, this lush full-spectrum instrument is an ancestor of the modern string ensemble. It remained in relative obscurity until the film Tous les Matins du Monde brought it back, featuring a traveling viol virtuoso, and has made appearances in scores like Austin Wintory's soundtrack for The Pathless. Try it out in place of a cello, especially if you want to add in a Baroque chamber feel!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Celli and 4 Basses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese modern day strings are present for one reason: Power. Before the string bass, there was very little low-end energy in ensembles - energy that modern soundtracks simply can't live without. This is the perfect way to support your fantasy strings with a consistent style and timbre, extending the range of your entire ensemble instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Violins and 6 Violas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow strings wouldn't be complete without their high-end partners, so we've also included violin and viola in the mix. They blend perfectly with the other stringed instruments in the collection and provide a strong backing so the other pieces can shine through; no layering or complex production techniques required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Mountain Dulcimers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe true origins of the mountain dulcimer lie in the Middle East, after which it evolved in Europe and was brought to the Appalachian Mountains by early Scottish and Irish settlers. It's now a staple in tons of folk music and has been used by some of the biggest musicians in modern-day history such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. Its character is similar to the mandolin, and it boasts a rich combination of warm body and a bright, twinkling high end. This is perfect for fast virtuoso passages and doubles beautifully with the hardanger fiddle and lute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Hurdy Gurdies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the most unique instrument in the collection, the hurdy gurdy is played via a crank that drags a wooden wheel along multiple felt-coated strings for a thick, layered drone with melodic accompaniment. It's been utilized in a number of games, movies, and shows like The Witcher, Fringe, The Conjuring, and tons more, but one of its most distinctive uses was in Black Sails - its jagged, \"broken\" quality is a perfect way to offset the mellow quality of the other pieces in this collection and incorporate a folksy character into any piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EastWest Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49903957442845,"sku":"NEWS005","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7708\/4238\/files\/hollywood-fantasy-strings-cover.jpg?v=1745011764"},{"product_id":"eastwest-hollywood-fantasy-brass-library-digital-download","title":"EastWest Hollywood Fantasy Brass Library - Digital Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Brass puts the grandeur of some of history's most iconic brass instruments at your fingertips, complete with a broad articulation set and true legato for maximum realism and authenticity. Everything you've come to expect from our Hollywood series is here: multiple mic positions, custom effect chains, lush ambiences... but this time, with a collection of brass instruments used in some of the most famous fantasy scores in history. If you've tried to recreate the feel of your favorite scores countless times but something is still missing, the fix could be as simple as using the right instruments for the job. And as you're about to hear, Hollywood Fantasy Brass will help get the job done every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eASSEMBLE YOUR MIGHTIEST ARMY\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stead of trumpets, you'll find flugelhorns; rather than French horns, Wagner tubas and alpenhorns take their place. The result is a majesty that modern day orchestras can't quite replicate, but with the power and conviction demanded by current movies and games. Each of these core instruments is recorded in ensembles of 3, giving you a far more cinematic quality than solo instruments can achieve alone. As with Hollywood Fantasy Strings, the entire brass collection was recorded in the same soundstage as our acclaimed Hollywood Orchestra, providing a cohesive sound between all the elements together. Whether you need bold fanfares for distant kingdoms; sonorous melodies for heroes, villains, and magical creatures alike; or a rich, mellow tone to evoke the mystique of castles or scrolling landscapes - Hollywood Fantasy Brass has you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCOMMAND THE MOOD\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery instrument in Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra is programmed with 3 moods, on a scale from most authentic to most cinematic: Classic, Soft, and Epic. You can rotate through these different qualities to suit your needs (the choice will typically be a no-brainer) and fill in the exact fantasy orchestra sound you hear in your head. You have individual control over the level and pan of four separate mic positions: Close, Mid, Main, and Surround, giving you full control over the dimension of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Wagner Tubas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can hear the Wagner tuba in the scores to Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the Lord of the Rings films, Jurassic Park, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, World of Warcraft and several other expansive scores that have helped define the modern fantasy sound across movies and video games. Imagine a cross between a French horn and a trombone and you'll get pretty close, but this ensemble has something a little extra that effortlessly evokes fantastic and unexplored worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Flugelhorns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis flugelhorn ensemble is an easy choice when you need majestic, mellow brass to carry a theme, especially for fanfares and \"royal\" settings. The soundtracks of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the original Final Fantasy VII, and L.A. Noire all make use of this instrument's regal and haunting quality, and you'll find it's an easy way to accomplish the same in your own scores. Try substituting this for a trumpet ensemble and you'll plainly see the fantastical character that these flugelhorns add to your scores!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Alpenhorns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to its role in German and Swiss folk music, this elongated horn was traditionally used primarily as a tool for communication and as an integral part of ceremonies and festivals. Its sound is uniquely mellow and hollow, owing to its wooden construction and straight rather than wound piping - it makes for a great mellow horn melody, especially in conjunction with the flugelhorns in this collection. Think of this as a group of extra-long hunting horns ready to lead the charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow Brass\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Bass Trombones, 2 Cimbassos, 1 Tuba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've included a powerhouse section of select low brass instruments to help fill out the low end and achieve the growling, dark intensity that even Hollywood Brass doesn't quite match. Rather than making massive EQ and reverb changes to another brass ensemble, simply add in this collection and you'll have the perfect complement.

With this collection, you can paint detailed images of Celtic highlands, sprawling mountain ranges, enchanted forests, and any other fantasy settings you can possibly imagine. These winds complete the core orchestral trinity with lyrical strings and brilliant brass, giving you the texture you need to complete a true melodic fantasy ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhispers on the Wind\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany instruments in the Hollywood Fantasy Winds have no parallel in the modern orchestra: sonorous Uilleann pipes, mellow ocarinas, and brilliant Irish whistles to name a few. You'll find they feel right at home even in the grandest settings though, and that they carry a rich, haunting quality that conventional sample libraries can't touch. Winds are the lifeblood of fantasy folk music, adept at describing everything from crowded merchant streets to fantastic adventures across uncharted lands. The entire collection is deeply rooted in Celtic musical literature and is perhaps the most unique and evocative section in Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Irish Whistles (High)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've been enchanted by Howard Shore's melody for the Shire, you know the brilliant sound of the Irish whistle well. It's a staple in Celtic folk music, and it's extremely flexible as a topline addition to the melodies you create with other instruments in this collection. It shares similarities with a piccolo, but with much more expressive pitch bending and a dramatic contour between registers. Few instruments offer this rare combination of depth and dynamics in higher frequency ranges, and it will be a welcome addition to any fantasy ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Irish Whistles (Low)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same mystical sound of the high Irish whistle, but with a lower pitch range and a deeper, rounder and more mellow sound quality. This is a great way to extend the range of a standard whistle and provide a richer, airier quality that translates even more smoothly to orchestral and cinematic settings. If you enjoy the sound of the bass flute and wish there was a variant with more of a folk quality, this should fill that position quite nicely. Try doubling it at the octave with the high Irish whistle and you'll have a simultaneously warm and piercing melody that captures the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes you can imagine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Renaissance Flutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis flute has a similar smooth, breathy tone to the concert flute, but its wooden construction provides a rounder and more mellow sound similar to that of an ancient recorder. Its smooth, breathy quality is simultaneously intimate and regal and offers a more pure, gentle substitute for the flute for you to weave into the orchestra or balance out the brilliance of the Irish whistles. Don't let this mislead you, though - these Renaissance flutes can stand up to scoring tasks of any scale, adding a fullness and mystical quality you'll be hard-pressed to achieve any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Uilleann Pipes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Celtic classic from the 1700s has been used in countless scores like Braveheart, Titanic, along with Square's classic game Xenogears. Its construction is similar to that of the bagpipes, but its quality is more lyrical rather than piercing, making these pipes the perfect choice for regal melodies that blend seamlessly with a full orchestra. Uilleann pipe sound libraries have been around for some time, but an ensemble was unheard of until now - layer this with strings or other winds, or let it shine on its own for rich melodic passages fitting for the soundtracks of any scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Ocarinas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNintendo's iconic game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time brought this haunting, hollow-tone but long forgotten instrument back into the public eye. Think of this as a more agile folk complement to the Renaissance flute used more often in court music; it's soft, flexible, and allows for beautiful trills and ornaments that add depth to anything you play. This ocarina ensemble is the perfect choice for soft, expressive passages when whistles and pipes cut through a little too sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EastWest Sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49903957508381,"sku":"NEWS007","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0266\/7708\/4238\/files\/hollywood-fantasy-winds-cover.jpg?v=1745011792"},{"product_id":"eastwest-hollywood-fantasy-percussion-library-digital-download","title":"EastWest Hollywood Fantasy Percussion Library - Digital Download","description":"\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Percussion provides a full suite of thunderous, mystical struck and shaken instruments to complement even the most epic soundtracks. While they're well-suited to most orchestral scores, they shine in combination with the rest of the Hollywood Fantasy palette. There's no shortage of bombastic drum libraries available, but there's never been a percussion library specifically designed for scoring epic fantasy soundtracks - so we created it ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrums in the Deep\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen scoring for fantasy, there are countless settings where conventional percussion simply doesn't cut it: fiery iron forges, royal celebrations, traditional folk festivals, and that's just scratching the surface. That's when you need percussion that doesn't just carry the drama of the scene, but feels perfectly at home in the world you're composing for. We've selected each instrument in this collection to span every setting imaginable so that no matter the scoring task, you have the tools to not only underscore the drama on-screen, but to wrap up the audience in an entirely new, fantastical world they need to hear to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Bodhrans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever listened to Celtic folk music, chances are you're familiar with the rich quality of the bodhran. This handheld drum is typically played with a two-sided mallet or by hand, offering a gentle but firm pulse to keep the music moving (and the ale flowing). Listen to how this delightful folk drum livens up the score to Braveheart and Titanic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Gran Cassas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also added a bass drum into this collection to help extend the low end of the orchestra, which is notably absent in many traditional ensembles. Rather than the rounded, mellow mallet hits in conventional orchestral playing, the gran cassa is struck in a much wider range of impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Large Taikos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis drum likely needs no introduction due to its omnipresence in video game and film scores, but we recorded a tight-knit ensemble to provide the glorious bassy rumble these massive drums are famed for. Their ominous low end simply can't be beaten. Okami, The Last Samurai, and countless other soundtracks have used taikos for their incredible tone and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e600 lb Nagado Ensemble\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other taikos, the massive nagado-daiko was designed for rituals and spiritual uses, and as such is a great way to underscore austere ceremonies with a single, haunting low impact. This drum ensemble especially shines in slow, quiet passages with little competition in the orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCeng Ceng\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese Balinese cymbals have a splashy, resonant character perfect for background ambience; they're much softer than their Western counterparts and work wonders for broadening your palette of metals without the normal harshness of cymbals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrotales\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmall chromatic cymbals that blend the quality of a glockenspiel and wind chimes - these are a great way to sustain a gradual, regal melody and offer a delightful contrast with wind and stringed instruments.

Produced by sound titans Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra includes unique ensembles of traditional and world instruments that have been featured in the biggest movies and games in history. It was recorded in full stereo mic placement in the historic EastWest Studio One, the same recording studio as our legendary Hollywood Orchestra series, and includes all of the features of EastWest's revolutionary Opus player. If you're scoring the next big fantasy epic or medieval tale, you need Hollywood Fantasy Strings, Hollywood Fantasy Brass, Hollywood Fantasy Winds, Hollywood Fantasy Percussion, Hollywood Fantasy Voices, and Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCHAPTER 1 – HOLLYWOOD FANTASY STRINGS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Strings is the first iteration of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, putting 5 of the most iconic instruments from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque eras at your fingertips alongside brand-new stylized recordings from modern-day orchestral musicians. It includes true legato, diverse articulations, everything you need to produce the perfect fantasy cue to the highest professional standards. We infused it with the same power and flexibility as Hollywood Strings, with the same microphone placements, in the exact same studio, tailor-made to mix perfectly, so you can rest assured that your string libraries are all up to the task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEPIC STRING ARRANGEMENTS OF OLDE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional celli are replaced with a viola da gamba ensemble, violins are replaced with a hardanger fiddle ensemble. Lutes and dulcimers are recorded in trios, creating a beautiful sparkling stereo image that cuts through any mix. It also includes hurdy gurdies and massive sounding traditional string ensembles, recorded in octaves for those moments when you need bombast to round out your fantasy sound. Every instrument is mic'd the same way as the Hollywood Orchestra series and recorded in the same room – Studio One – the site of countless film, television, and game soundtrack recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSETTING THE SCENE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFire-breathing dragons.

No matter how grand the scene you need to set, Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra is equipped with everything you need to make it happen right out of the box. If your arsenal is missing the ancient and traditional folk strings needed to give your orchestrations an authentic edge, your collection will finally match the limits of your imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Hardanger Fiddles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps Norway's most prized musical contribution, the hardanger fiddle is similar to a violin but with a more vibrant, brilliant quality owing to its body construction and doubled strings - it often sounds like two violinists playing at once! Some of its most stunning uses in modern music are in Howard Shore's Rohan theme from Lord of the Rings and Bear McCreary's traditional string arrangements in God of War. Try it out on brilliant, lyrical melodies and sub it in for violins when you need to add in a Viking flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Lutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lute is famous for its role in Renaissance folk music in the hands of troubadours and singers, functioning much like the 12-string guitar with a greater midrange emphasis and gentler character. It's been used in countless soundtracks, including The Tudors, Whisper of the Heart, Only Lovers Left Alive, the popular roguelike game Hades and much more. This 10-stringed instrument is equally adept at both virtuoso passages and providing a smooth chordal background for the viola da gamba and hardanger fiddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Viola Da Gambas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever listened to sonorous, non-vibrato Baroque bowed string music, you've probably had a taste of the viola da gamba's vibrant quality. Similar in shape and sound to a cello, this lush full-spectrum instrument is an ancestor of the modern string ensemble. It remained in relative obscurity until the film Tous les Matins du Monde brought it back, featuring a traveling viol virtuoso, and has made appearances in scores like Austin Wintory's soundtrack for The Pathless. Try it out in place of a cello, especially if you want to add in a Baroque chamber feel!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Celli and 4 Basses\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese modern day strings are present for one reason: Power. Before the string bass, there was very little low-end energy in ensembles - energy that modern soundtracks simply can't live without. This is the perfect way to support your fantasy strings with a consistent style and timbre, extending the range of your entire ensemble instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Violins and 6 Violas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow strings wouldn't be complete without their high-end partners, so we've also included violin and viola in the mix. They blend perfectly with the other stringed instruments in the collection and provide a strong backing so the other pieces can shine through; no layering or complex production techniques required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Mountain Dulcimers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe true origins of the mountain dulcimer lie in the Middle East, after which it evolved in Europe and was brought to the Appalachian Mountains by early Scottish and Irish settlers. It's now a staple in tons of folk music and has been used by some of the biggest musicians in modern-day history such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles. Its character is similar to the mandolin, and it boasts a rich combination of warm body and a bright, twinkling high end. This is perfect for fast virtuoso passages and doubles beautifully with the hardanger fiddle and lute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Hurdy Gurdies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps the most unique instrument in the collection, the hurdy gurdy is played via a crank that drags a wooden wheel along multiple felt-coated strings for a thick, layered drone with melodic accompaniment. It's been utilized in a number of games, movies, and shows like The Witcher, Fringe, The Conjuring, and tons more, but one of its most distinctive uses was in Black Sails - its jagged, \"broken\" quality is a perfect way to offset the mellow quality of the other pieces in this collection and incorporate a folksy character into any piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCHAPTER 2 – HOLLYWOOD FANTASY BRASS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Brass puts the grandeur of some of history's most iconic brass instruments at your fingertips, complete with a broad articulation set and true legato for maximum realism and authenticity. Everything you've come to expect from our Hollywood series is here: multiple mic positions, custom effect chains, lush ambiences... but this time, with a collection of brass instruments used in some of the most famous fantasy scores in history. If you've tried to recreate the feel of your favorite scores countless times but something is still missing, the fix could be as simple as using the right instruments for the job. And as you're about to hear, Hollywood Fantasy Brass will help get the job done every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eASSEMBLE YOUR MIGHTIEST ARMY\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stead of trumpets, you'll find flugelhorns; rather than French horns, Wagner tubas and alpenhorns take their place. The result is a majesty that modern day orchestras can't quite replicate, but with the power and conviction demanded by current movies and games. Each of these core instruments is recorded in ensembles of 3, giving you a far more cinematic quality than solo instruments can achieve alone. As with Hollywood Fantasy Strings, the entire brass collection was recorded in the same soundstage as our acclaimed Hollywood Orchestra, providing a cohesive sound between all the elements together. Whether you need bold fanfares for distant kingdoms; sonorous melodies for heroes, villains, and magical creatures alike; or a rich, mellow tone to evoke the mystique of castles or scrolling landscapes - Hollywood Fantasy Brass has you covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCOMMAND THE MOOD\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery instrument in Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra is programmed with 3 moods, on a scale from most authentic to most cinematic: Classic, Soft, and Epic. You can rotate through these different qualities to suit your needs (the choice will typically be a no-brainer) and fill in the exact fantasy orchestra sound you hear in your head. You have individual control over the level and pan of four separate mic positions: Close, Mid, Main, and Surround, giving you full control over the dimension of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Wagner Tubas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can hear the Wagner tuba in the scores to Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the Lord of the Rings films, Jurassic Park, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, World of Warcraft and several other expansive scores that have helped define the modern fantasy sound across movies and video games. Imagine a cross between a French horn and a trombone and you'll get pretty close, but this ensemble has something a little extra that effortlessly evokes fantastic and unexplored worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Flugelhorns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis flugelhorn ensemble is an easy choice when you need majestic, mellow brass to carry a theme, especially for fanfares and \"royal\" settings. The soundtracks of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the original Final Fantasy VII, and L.A. Noire all make use of this instrument's regal and haunting quality, and you'll find it's an easy way to accomplish the same in your own scores. Try substituting this for a trumpet ensemble and you'll plainly see the fantastical character that these flugelhorns add to your scores!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Alpenhorns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to its role in German and Swiss folk music, this elongated horn was traditionally used primarily as a tool for communication and as an integral part of ceremonies and festivals. Its sound is uniquely mellow and hollow, owing to its wooden construction and straight rather than wound piping - it makes for a great mellow horn melody, especially in conjunction with the flugelhorns in this collection. Think of this as a group of extra-long hunting horns ready to lead the charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow Brass\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Bass Trombones, 2 Cimbassos, 1 Tuba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've included a powerhouse section of select low brass instruments to help fill out the low end and achieve the growling, dark intensity that even Hollywood Brass doesn't quite match. Rather than making massive EQ and reverb changes to another brass ensemble, simply add in this collection and you'll have the perfect complement. Make no mistake, though: This brass section packs the punch and warmth you need no matter the task even on its own, making it a powerful asset for all your fantasy needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCHAPTER 3 – HOLLYWOOD FANTASY WINDS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Winds presents an array of ethereal, majestic woodwind instruments that transcend the modern orchestra, complete with true legato and a wide variety of articulations to command the realism and power you need in a cinematic ensemble of winds. With this collection, you can paint detailed images of Celtic highlands, sprawling mountain ranges, enchanted forests, and any other fantasy settings you can possibly imagine. These winds complete the core orchestral trinity with lyrical strings and brilliant brass, giving you the texture you need to complete a true melodic fantasy ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhispers on the Wind\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany instruments in the Hollywood Fantasy Winds have no parallel in the modern orchestra: sonorous Uilleann pipes, mellow ocarinas, and brilliant Irish whistles to name a few. You'll find they feel right at home even in the grandest settings though, and that they carry a rich, haunting quality that conventional sample libraries can't touch. Winds are the lifeblood of fantasy folk music, adept at describing everything from crowded merchant streets to fantastic adventures across uncharted lands. The entire collection is deeply rooted in Celtic musical literature and is perhaps the most unique and evocative section in Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Irish Whistles (High)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've been enchanted by Howard Shore's melody for the Shire, you know the brilliant sound of the Irish whistle well. It's a staple in Celtic folk music, and it's extremely flexible as a topline addition to the melodies you create with other instruments in this collection. It shares similarities with a piccolo, but with much more expressive pitch bending and a dramatic contour between registers. Few instruments offer this rare combination of depth and dynamics in higher frequency ranges, and it will be a welcome addition to any fantasy ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Irish Whistles (Low)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same mystical sound of the high Irish whistle, but with a lower pitch range and a deeper, rounder and more mellow sound quality. This is a great way to extend the range of a standard whistle and provide a richer, airier quality that translates even more smoothly to orchestral and cinematic settings. If you enjoy the sound of the bass flute and wish there was a variant with more of a folk quality, this should fill that position quite nicely. Try doubling it at the octave with the high Irish whistle and you'll have a simultaneously warm and piercing melody that captures the most dramatic and beautiful landscapes you can imagine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Renaissance Flutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis flute has a similar smooth, breathy tone to the concert flute, but its wooden construction provides a rounder and more mellow sound similar to that of an ancient recorder. Its smooth, breathy quality is simultaneously intimate and regal and offers a more pure, gentle substitute for the flute for you to weave into the orchestra or balance out the brilliance of the Irish whistles. Don't let this mislead you, though - these Renaissance flutes can stand up to scoring tasks of any scale, adding a fullness and mystical quality you'll be hard-pressed to achieve any other way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Uilleann Pipes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Celtic classic from the 1700s has been used in countless scores like Braveheart, Titanic, along with Square's classic game Xenogears. Its construction is similar to that of the bagpipes, but its quality is more lyrical rather than piercing, making these pipes the perfect choice for regal melodies that blend seamlessly with a full orchestra. Uilleann pipe sound libraries have been around for some time, but an ensemble was unheard of until now - layer this with strings or other winds, or let it shine on its own for rich melodic passages fitting for the soundtracks of any scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Ocarinas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNintendo's iconic game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time brought this haunting, hollow-tone but long forgotten instrument back into the public eye. Think of this as a more agile folk complement to the Renaissance flute used more often in court music; it's soft, flexible, and allows for beautiful trills and ornaments that add depth to anything you play. This ocarina ensemble is the perfect choice for soft, expressive passages when whistles and pipes cut through a little too sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCHAPTER 4 – HOLLYWOOD FANTASY PERCUSSION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHollywood Fantasy Percussion provides a full suite of thunderous, mystical struck and shaken instruments to complement even the most epic soundtracks. While they're well-suited to most orchestral scores, they shine in combination with the rest of the Hollywood Fantasy palette. There's no shortage of bombastic drum libraries available, but there's never been a percussion library specifically designed for scoring epic fantasy soundtracks - so we created it ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDrums in the Deep\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen scoring for fantasy, there are countless settings where conventional percussion simply doesn't cut it: fiery iron forges, royal celebrations, traditional folk festivals, and that's just scratching the surface. That's when you need percussion that doesn't just carry the drama of the scene, but feels perfectly at home in the world you're composing for. We've selected each instrument in this collection to span every setting imaginable so that no matter the scoring task, you have the tools to not only underscore the drama on-screen, but to wrap up the audience in an entirely new, fantastical world they need to hear to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Bodhrans\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've ever listened to Celtic folk music, chances are you're familiar with the rich quality of the bodhran. This handheld drum is typically played with a two-sided mallet or by hand, offering a gentle but firm pulse to keep the music moving (and the ale flowing). Listen to how this delightful folk drum livens up the score to Braveheart and Titanic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Gran Cassas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also added a bass drum into this collection to help extend the low end of the orchestra, which is notably absent in many traditional ensembles. Rather than the rounded, mellow mallet hits in conventional orchestral playing, the gran cassa is struck in a much wider range of impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Large Taikos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis drum likely needs no introduction due to its omnipresence in video game and film scores, but we recorded a tight-knit ensemble to provide the glorious bassy rumble these massive drums are famed for. Their ominous low end simply can't be beaten. Okami, The Last Samurai, and countless other soundtracks have used taikos for their incredible tone and power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e600 lb Nagado Ensemble\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike other taikos, the massive nagado-daiko was designed for rituals and spiritual uses, and as such is a great way to underscore austere ceremonies with a single, haunting low impact.

Whether crafting hip-hop beats, atmospheric soundtracks, or experimental electronic music, these sounds provide the raw energy and depth to inspire new sonic frontiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModern Controls to Shape The Chaos or Amplify the Mayhem\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLO-FI's user interface centers around an XY Pad with 4 selectable Macro Effects that change multiple parameters simultaneously. Blending a vintage knob-per-function design with sleek modern styling, all of LO-FI's controls are easily accessible in a single page - from dual filters that can be modulated to an advanced 16-step arpeggiator, a multi-mode portamento (glide), and a bevy of effects to widen, pulse, distort, delay, and spatialize the final sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePushing LO-FI to the Limits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the very start, the producers set out to craft something raw and untamed for the modern producer and composer, going far beyond the clean confines of typical libraries. The producers dove deep into sonic experimentation - warping every sound with pitch shifts, bit crushing, and amp distortion - to create a gritty, one-of-a-kind palette spanning hip-hop, electronic, soundtracks, and more. From growling basses to mangled orchestral stabs, each instrument reflects relentless processing, with versatile categories like warped guitars and eerie textures, plus a suite of FX to shape or amplify the chaos. This is a production toolkit with a bold, unfiltered edge - distorted, unpredictable, and built to inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Team\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer Doug Rogers:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoug Rogers is a highly esteemed producer and the visionary behind EastWest, one of the most influential companies in the world of virtual instruments and sound libraries, and recipient of three NAMM TEC Awards in the past five years for \"Best Musical Instrument Software\".

Produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, SPACES II includes hundreds more new reverbs recorded in churches, concert halls, opera houses, catacombs, train stations, recording studios, and warehouses. It includes a new streamlined user interface, new control features, a vastly expanded collection of instrument specific reverbs, plus all of the reverbs from SPACES I, making SPACES II the most powerful and versatile convolution reverb on the market.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstrument Specific Reverbs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique feature of SPACES II is the instrument specific reverbs that have been designed to take the guesswork out of instrument reverb selection. Only the SoCal hall was recorded using this method in SPACES I and it was so popular six locations with instrument specific reverbs are now included in SPACES II. How was this done? An ATC speaker array was created to emulate the sound projection patterns of each instrument or section. For orchestral halls, a recording was taken in the exact position an instrument would be on stage. A French horn fires its sound backwards against the back wall, therefore, an impulse for a French horn was created by firing the sweep tones from the middle to left rear of the stage, backwards and slightly towards the floor. 1st violin section recordings were taken by firing a series of speakers at an angle toward the ceiling, just like a real section, with a fifth speaker firing towards the floor to emulate the body of the violins. A choir shoots straight out from the back, a celeste or harp is usually way over to the side and a lot of that sound goes up giving you early reflections. Most soundtrack composers that use SPACES I consider the instrument specific reverbs from the SoCal Hall to be ground breaking. Set up a mixing template with unique reverb for the strings, brass, winds, percussion and choir and something magical happens. In SPACES II five more locations were added using this technique for a total of six. There are 324 instrument specific reverbs in SPACES II compared to 48 in SPACES I for a total of 372. It took a massive effort, but the results speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrand New Spaces\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom stunning concert venues like Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, Reynolds Hall in Las Vegas, and the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco, to exquisite sounding churches like St. Patrick's and St. Dominic's, to unique and extraordinary sounding locations like catacombs and Union Station in Los Angeles and many more, the reverbs from these brand new spaces will inspire you and help bring your compositions to life with incredible realism.
