LUX Orchestral Strings Essentials

LUX Orchestral Strings Essentials
Professional Orchestral Strings for Composers Who Score Every Day

If you score for a living, you already know what you need from a string library. It has to sound genuinely professional in the mix, cover the range of scenarios you actually run into across your working week, and be a tool that earns a permanent place in your template.

LUX Orchestral Strings Essentials is built around exactly that brief. A 70-piece symphonic string ensemble, recorded on a large scoring stage, with the full articulation palette professional string writing calls for. The same recording, the same room, and the same cinematic mix that sit behind LUX Orchestral Strings, now available in a focused toolkit.
