What EastWest Ghostwriter Is For
Ghostwriter is a sound library oriented towards production and sound design, designed to serve as a foundation for complex tracks as well as cinematic scores. It combines immediately playable "live" instruments and rawer sources intended to be transformed, in order to create personal sonic signatures. Whether you work in progressive rock, electro, ambient, or film music, the goal remains the same: to obtain inspiring and mix-ready sounds that integrate easily into a session.
Main Features
A Wide and Musical Instrument Library
The collection includes over 800 multi-sampled instruments and presets, covering essential families (basses, drums, guitars, keyboards, vocals, miscellaneous) to build credible arrangements. Many "live" presets provide an immediate base while remaining adjustable within the software to tailor the playing, dynamics, and tone to your production.
Workflow and Creativity with the Instrument Interface
The rawest instruments are designed to be sculpted via the Ghostwriter interface, allowing you to evolve from an organic sound to a more experimental texture. This approach encourages a fast workflow: start with an expressive timbre, then develop it into a layer, lead, pad, or rhythmic element depending on the musical context.
Integrated Processing for Studio-Quality Sound
Ghostwriter includes a production-oriented effects chain, featuring an EastWest AMP Simulator (with 80 presets), multiband distortion, Echoplex-style delay, SSL tools for EQ and dynamics, as well as a convolution reverb enriched with numerous presets. The result: you can shape, dirty, thicken, or spatialize your sounds directly within the playback environment without multiplying external plugins.
