Ready-to-use Orchestral Setup for Every Project
EastWest templates are engineered as complete plug-and-play environments that harness the full potential of EastWest's ComposerCloud+ and Hollywood Orchestra instruments. Here's how they're built to accelerate your workflow:
• Pre-Routed Instrument Tracks: Every template includes dedicated tracks for strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, choirs, and hybrid cinematic elements. Instruments are loaded and routed through optimized busses, ensuring balanced levels and efficient CPU usage from the outset.
• Optimized Signal Flow and Bussing: Signal paths are streamlined with group busses for sections (e.g., full orchestra, rhythm section), auxiliary sends for effects, and master bus processing. This prevents clipping, enhances cohesion, and allows for quick adjustments without rebuilding from scratch.
• Built-In Effects Chain: Thoughtfully applied reverb (using EastWest's convolution impulses for realistic spaces), EQ for clarity and warmth, dynamics processors for control, and a mastering chain for polish. Everything is pre-set but fully editable, giving you a professional starting point.
• Customization Macros: Key parameters like reverb send levels, overall dynamics, and section balances are mapped to macros or automation lanes for easy tweaking during composition.
• Two Core Variations: Templates are available in two distinct versions to suit different creative needs — the ComposerCloud+ Expanded edition, which features Hollywood Orchestra, Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra, Hollywood Strings 2, Hollywood Choirs, Forbidden Planet, ICONIC, Silk, Stormdrum 2 & 3, and Spaces 2; and the pure Hollywood Orchestra edition with Spaces 2, delivering the classic, detailed EastWest Hollywood sound palette alone.
These features eliminate hours of technical prep, letting you audition sounds, layer ideas, and iterate faster than ever.
A Step-by-step Path to Instant Composition
To make these templates as user-friendly as possible, we've included a simple onboarding process:
1. Load the Template: Open your DAW (Logic Pro, Cubase, Fender Studio Pro, Reaper, Ableton Live, or Pro Tools) and load the provided project file. All EastWest instruments from ComposerCloud+ or Hollywood Orchestra auto-load if subscribed or owned.
2. Compose Freely: Start MIDI input or audio recording immediately. The balanced mix and effects ensure everything sounds pro right away.
3. Customize as Needed: Fine-tune with exposed controls, or expand by adding your own plugins. No guesswork on setup means more time for creativity.
This approach turns complex orchestral production into an accessible, fast-track experience, ideal for beginners and pros alike.
