Sounds pretty tv-scorey, Mike!

Yes, this sounds really nice. hmmm. Wasn't looking to buy anything, but this might be fun to have. I do like the GUI as well.

That was exactly my thoughts. Dammit.

That was exactly my thoughts. Dammit.

Do you have Sunset Strings, Guy? I’ve looked at those as well, but never hit the buy button.

I used Sunset Strings on the latest show I scored, "Sommarskuggan"
Perhaps not as the go to library but for effects and "pads that move".
The ease of being able to blend two different layers saves so much time.

Working on the music for a play based on the book "the secret garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Heard so many useful timbres in the walkthrough that I'm downloading as I type.

$99 for those with Sunset Strings.

I like Sunset Strings a lot. Bought Nightfall around 2 month ago but didn't install the prerelease since I wait for the Native Access version. No urgent need but the string sound is great imo and you can do things with it (Sunset) that would be hard to achieve with other libraries.
Part of buying it was appreciation for Mikes work for vi control. Makes more sense than helping the former guy compensating his taxes.

I am a bit biased as Mike is just a good dude but this is one of those libraries for at least what I do I hope people will kind of ignore it so I can keep it for myself. That's not exactly fair as it is very malleable so it is easy to roll your own. Working on a Warner project and it fits like a glove and is inspirational. I can tweak deep or keep it pretty stock depending on need....Highly Recommended!

LOL, you just had to tip the scales for me in favor of a purchase, didn’t you Craig? Besides, I do like what I hear and also feel the price is more than reasonable. It’s a bonus being able to support Mike’s work as well.

biased though I am, Nightfall (and Sunset Strings) are both fantastic libraries, quite different (in a good way) from any of my other 10,000 string libraries. Too bad Halloween is past, Nightfall is perfect for that.

And speaking of Halloween - anyone using Riot Audio Ghoul? I keep returning to those demos! I suppose I can create many of those sounds myself, but I really like the library.
