Emotive Modern String Ensemble Textures
The string section is the heart of the orchestra and the emotive core of impactful film scores and pop music. While today’s virtual string libraries are quite excellent overall, using them can be extremely challenging — particularly if you know little about orchestration. Sweetwater is excited to present UJAM Symphonic Elements Striiiings, an easy-to-use plug-in designed to deliver modern string ensemble textures with a minimum of effort on your part. The current trend in hybridized scoring integrates traditional orchestral instruments with sound design elements, and perhaps no contemporary composer exemplifies this approach more so than Hans Zimmer — who happens to be a co-founder of UJAM. For Striiiings, the multiple Grammy Award winner made available his entire virtual string library. Amassed over decades, these pristine samples were played by first-call musicians amid the glorious acoustics of one of the world’s preeminent scoring stages.
