PERIOD.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fade-in\"\u003eIntroducing Hollywood Strings 2, a brand-new addition to our celebrated Hollywood Orchestral series. Brought to you by the same award-winning team as the original, Hollywood Strings 2 features a 21-piece string ensemble recorded in our legendary EastWest Studio 2 using close mic techniques never achieved before — until now. While Hollywood Strings 1 excels at epic blockbuster soundtracks, Hollywood Strings 2 is perfect for those in-your-face, emotional moments in your score. With high precision playing and fast articulations, its versatility also makes it well-suited for modern genres like pop, rock, hip hop and more. Rather than replacing Hollywood Strings 1, this sequel serves as the perfect compliment so you can compose everything from intimate studio pieces to full-on orchestrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fullimage fade-in\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.soundsonline.com\/images\/hs2_interface-lineup_1@2x.png\" alt=\"Hollywood Strings 2 Interfaces\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullmedia-section dark-section hs2-quote-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"media-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mediatext fade-in extra-padding\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapper big align-left clear-after\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"big-quotes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mediawrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"instrument-mediawrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"endorsement fade-in\"\u003eA worthy addition to the Hollywood Orchestra stable, Hollywood Strings 2 is a bit of a triumph.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"endorser fr fade-in\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.soundsonline.com\/images\/endorser_sos_red_3@2x.png\" alt=\"Sound on Sound\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fade-in add-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"big-heading\"\u003eWATCH THE WALKTHROUGH\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"fullimage fade-in some-bottom\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"fullimage\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/U7STe0IWsS8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.soundsonline.com\/images\/hs2_thumbnail-walkthrough_2@2x.jpg\" alt=\"Watch the official Hollywood Strings 2 Walkthrough\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"big-heading fade-in\"\u003eEMOTIONAL.
