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. Lutes and dulcimers are recorded in trios, creating a beautiful sparkling stereo image that cuts through any mix. Traditional celli are replaced with a viola da gamba ensemble, violins are replaced with a hardanger fiddle ensemble. You can be sure that all of your string libraries are up to the challenge because EastWest gave them the same strength and adaptability as Hollywood Strings, with the same microphone locations, in the exact same studio, tailored to blend precisely. It has everything you need to create the ideal fantasy cue to the greatest professional standards, including genuine legato and a variety of articulations. Hollywood Fantasy Strings, the debut version of Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, offers stylized recordings of contemporary orchestral musicians alongside five of the most famous instruments from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods.
