Thanks all!
Allan, thank you for the kind words. I'm actually getting ambivalent about it because it's just to sell a couple CD's when I play in restaurants. I can't wait to get back to the psycho groove rock tunes!
Warren de Pugtones, many thanks, very glad you found it moving! I try to land it in the spot between emotional and cheesy. Usually I end up with cheese on my feet.
Pogue de Distant Towers: Thanks much, and I look forward to hearing your guys' next efforts. Cool stuff.
Rscain you are one funky dude, I think we were in a band together in some past life. The whiskey's overpriced and watered down, and the brunette has hepatitis and a boyfriend in prison. And the drummer will hit on her first.
JamesG1213, any compliment from you is very welcome, happy you liked it.
Rimshot, I appreciate your comment very much! The main reason I don't overplay is because, I can't. We are all saved! Thanks.
Mgh, thanks, the warmth of the piano is quite the thing. It's PEarl by Impact Soundworks (I think) but I've found that trying to make a sampled piano sound real is a trial and errorfest. EQ settings, reverb settings, a little limiting. Plus the great fun is, when you finally get it all sounding close to right, you render it with Export Audio, and Sonar picks a few midi notes to leave out. If they are not consequential notes, keep the render and call it done. But often it's a critical melody note that Sonar leaves out in the render. So it's time to re-render . . . x100.
cclarry, thanks and thank you again for all you do around here in the saving us money dept.!
cheers,
