EastWest Hollywood Brass – Gold Edition

Hollywood Brass is the most powerful, realistic and extensive brass library ever created. There is a focus and ease of use in this Virtual Instrument that is unprecedented. Hollywood Brass runs flawlessly in the new PLAY 5 engine and has 10 times the content and detail than its closest competitor, without any additional complexity or clutter. New revolutionary fanfare patches are light on computer resources, but offer the most playable and instantly gratifying results on just one midi channel. But words are just words. Once you experience Hollywood Brass, you will see that this is EastWest’s finest creation to date — (Producers Doug Rogers, Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen).

The second installment in the Hollywood series, Hollywood Brass is an epic achievement, once again combining the talents of Producers Doug Rogers, Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen and Sound Engineer Shawn Murphy (Academy Award, C.A.S. (Cinema Audio Society), BAFTA, and EMMY award-winng sound engineer)

Recorded in EastWest Studio 1, widely regarded as the “best brass recording room in the entire world” with 5 true mic positions, Hollywood Brass is designed to work seamlessly with Hollywood Strings (and the upcoming Woodwinds and Percussion). Running on the new PLAY 5, Hollywood Brass will run flawlessly on your system along with Hollywood Strings. This is also exciting news for current Hollywood Strings users, as PLAY 5 and the new Hollywood Strings program update are free to all users.

Hollywood Brass ships on a hard drive and is approximately 150 gigabytes of pure Hollywood magic. A world class group of brass artists, worthy of a Shawn Murphy recording, was gathered for this brass sampling marathon which lasted for 21 straight 11 hour days followed by a year of post production.

Hollywood Brass gives you complete control over the players and includes:

Solo Trumpet, 2 Trumpets, 3 Trumpets, Solo French Horn, 2 French Horns, 6 French Horns, Solo Trombone, 2 Tenor 1 Bass Trombone, Solo Tuba, Solo Cimbasso and a low brass section consisting of : 2 Tenor Bones, 1 Bass trombone, 1 tuba and 1 cimbasso

But most importantly check out our articulations chart which really shows how far we went to create the ultimate orchestral brass library. No Shortcuts here!!

Hollywood Brass also includes new brass reverb impulses taken from the smash hit convolution reverb Quantum Leap SPACES.

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.

• Delivery: the Diamond Edition is provided on a hard drive; the Gold Edition is provided on a set of DVDs.

• Mic Positions: The Diamond Edition includes samples from 5 independent mic 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 articulations for the two libraries are the same, except as described above.

  Those with a Gold Edition license can upgrade to the Diamond Edition license 

• approximately 22 Gigabytes of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz samples
