Hollywood Choirs Diamond

Summary

Produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, Hollywood Choirs is the epic follow-up to
1999’s Voices of the Apocalypse and 2005’s Symphonic Choirs, the best-selling and
most awarded virtual choir instruments of all time. Hollywood Choirs gives voice to a
new generation of powerful cinematic vocals with unprecedented dynamics and shocking
realism that unleashes a new world of choral possibilities.

Featuring a Microphone Array that displays the configurations used in each of the 5
Available Mixes (Diamond Edition only), and a Neumann Dummy Head to achieve 3D
surround sound that is particularly attractive to film, TV, and game composers. Hollywood
Choirs delivers a powerful, blockbuster sound that is sure to excite both composers
and their audiences alike.
