3.9 HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL WOODWINDS
The Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds Opus Edition library is designed to work together
with the other libraries in the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition series. It includes the
same variety of microphone positions and other features that help them blend into a
unified sound.
The Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds Opus Edition library is designed to create orches-
trations of the kind heard in movie soundtracks—but, of course, it can be used for many
other types of music, as well.
3.9.1 Solo Instruments and Sections
For the purpose of the tables in this chapter, the library can be grouped into three sets
of instruments based on how the sound is generated.
The various articulations of each instrument are enumerated in the three tables that fol-
low. You might want to print out the pages containing these tables as a reference.
The characteristics of these orchestral instruments are not described in this manual be-
cause they are members of standard instrumental families. A few, such as the Bass Flute
and Contrabass Clarinet, are uncommon, though their usage can be easily extrapolated
from the more common members of the family.
The one instrument that needs some explanation is the one called “Flute 2.” It is a stan-
dard transverse flute, just like “Flute,” but it was played by a different flautist who sat
in a slightly different position on stage. In other words, no samples are shared between
“Flute” and “Flute 2,” so if played together in unison, they will not collapse into a single
performance.
