The Crow Hill Company has introduced a new instrument library featuring pro-grade strings from live cinematic orchestral recordings, with some rarefied vintage synth classics made to measure for added body, depth and character.
We imagine this library will be used as a “road tool” to write anywhere and with anyone. For producers, the most accessible form of strings made by the best in the business with no shortcuts, or omissions made. We hope it will encourage people to make orchestral music even if they’re just starting out, safe in the knowledge that when collaborations or opportunities come, knowing you’re armed with everything you need to conjure ‘broadcast’ or ‘Hollywood grade’ masters with no additional investment.
But most of all, we relish the opportunity afforded by all of us to be able to share and collaborate and support one and other simply by pinging a DAW or even MIDI file between us all .. provided you’re all proud owners of the beginning of our pocket range.
