This time, a hard pivot was made: Instead of going bigger, a tight 21-piece group was recorded in EastWest Studio 2 to create one of the most nuanced string libraries — smaller room, same production team, no less cinematic.

All the essential articulations can be found, including legato, detache, pizzicato, staccato, spiccato, marcato, col legno, and even rare textural styles like flautando, each with up to four dynamics, ensuring an unparalleled level of expressiveness and realism.

From the delicate intimacy of pianissimo to the commanding authority of fortissimo, and everything in between, articulations are captured with exacting detail by an extensive array of microphones, giving unprecedented control over the performance and sound of the strings.
