East West Hollywood Orchestral Percussion Gold

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION is the most detailed and comprehensive orchestral percussion collection available.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION GOLD is a collection of 16-bit orchestral percussion instruments, offers unprecedented control over each instrument, and is a must have compositional tool for serious composers. Recording for HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION took place at the famous EASTWEST STUDIO 1, the same studio where many Hollywood soundtracks and television themes were recorded with a live orchestra.

• The Gold Edition is mostly a subset of the Diamond Edition. It is intended for those with smaller or less capable computer systems, and for those looking for most of the features and power of the Diamond Edition but at a smaller price. Here are the differences:
•     Bit Depth: the samples in the Diamond Edition are 24-bit; those in the Gold Edition are 16-bit.
•     Mic Positions: The Diamond Edition includes samples from 5 independent microphone positions that can be mixed together to achieve control over both acoustic vantage and spaciousness of the sound; the Gold Edition provides a single mic position.
•     The list of instruments and articulations for the two libraries are the same.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION includes PLAY 4 32-bit/64-bit software, powerful scripting for ease of use, and more user control than any other collection.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION is an utterly unique orchestral percussion library that completes the Hollywood series, featuring one of America’s very best orchestral percussionists and his inspiring arsenal of instruments. Orchestral percussion staples like timpani, snare drums, cymbals, bass drums, and metals are sampled with such astounding detail and variety that you will find exactly the right sound for EVERY piece of music.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION perfects techniques pioneered in Stormdrum 3, using unique repetition sampling techniques and 8 way round robin, that deliver a virtual live performance.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION also focuses on the speed of a performance and has specific samples to handle extreme tempos. Timpani and cymbals truly come to life when sampled as part of a musical performance, and HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION has the most extensive and fluid timpani ever sampled. For the first time, an extensive array of epic anvils has been sampled. Truly the holy grail. Orchestral chimes were sampled in a way that mimics the sound of real church bells, as the instrument was originally intended.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION has an inspiring array of vintage field drums. Epic Bass Drum Ensemble and Mahler Hammer give this collection some serious punch. For the first time, the celeste has been captured in a multi mic position environment with extremely low noise. In fact, the entire collection uses zero noise reduction resulting in a spectacular sound that will jump out of your speakers.

HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION has five user-controllable mic positions, including main pickup (Decca tree), mid pickup, close pickup, surround pickup, and an alternate vintage circa 1945 RCA ribbon room pickup.
