EastWest Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond expands on the award-winning Hollywood Orchestra virtual instrument by offering new, pristine recordings, reimagined original content, and powerful new features, all housed in the company's innovative OPUS sound-customization engine.

The software also includes Hollywood Orchestrator (with over 500 presets), a must-have scoring engine for composers of every skill level who want to create basic or complex orchestrations with that Hollywood blockbuster sound, right out of the box—perfect for soundtracks, orchestral scores, video-game music, or pop tracks.

The Diamond edition features a collection of 1807 instruments (solo violin and cello, orchestra strings, brass, woodwinds, and harp) with 944GB of 24-bit / 44.1 kHz samples and five microphone positions.

Providing the authentic Hollywood sound with a detailed set of orchestral instruments, the collection was produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, recipients of over 100 international industry awards, and recorded at EastWest Studio One by Academy-Award- and BAFTA-winner Shawn Murphy.

The software utilizes a dedicated Opus playback engine, which provides a searchable browser and the ability for users to customize their sounds. It is compatible with Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software or operates in AU, VST3, or AAX formats.

Q: 3. Can this be comfortably worn with a backpack?

A: I do it all the time and never think twice about it! The only complaint I have is that I have a pretty small frame and because Ive adjusted the strap the way I have, the strap tends to stick out a bit in the back/come off the hook (where its been adjusted/has a clip to hold it, but the adjustable clip on the back doesnt always hold the strap as securely when putting backpacks on and off. I just have to check to make sure it isnt sticking out funny regularly.) No photographers I know with this strap have had this complaint, but theyre mostly bulky dudes who dont have to adjustment the strap as much as I do as a slim woman.

Q: 5. what is the difference between the sport breathe and curve breathe straps? They look so similar, is the slight difference in shape at the top of the strap the only difference and how much does that impact the use?

A: I have purchase this strap and love it. The difference is just the curve, presumably marketed to women, as the shame does help to sit better around the chest area. However I soon found out, that is only true in shirt, but once I wear thick jacket or even backpack, it simply does not fit that well...so...I goes this is great for summer use...in winter I stopped paying attention where the thick strap actually sits, as it was all over the place.
