I've only begun to work with Sonar...have uploaded only two pieces so far...but check out how good the PIANO sounds in this thing...on "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".  Wow.  That's a real good piano sound.  Effortless quality with Sonar X1, I tell ya.

Nicely played Dave! I love SOTR. I think I read somewhere that it only just made the cut to get into "Oz". Hard to believe nowadays. That just don't write songs like that anymore. How about a rendition of "Sweet Lorraine"?

I wish Cakewalk would bring back the X1 truepiano deal in the shop. I regret missing out on it last time. The Amber one is good, but the others are supposed to be better.

Wow--that IS gorgeous!   Quite beautiful playing too, I might add.  Very expressive and oozing with talent.  :) 

Wow, that DOES sound good! I've played around with the one which is included, but since I don't ACTUALLY play the piano, I haven't gotten the full thing.

The quality really shows in the higher notes. I love the samples that are available nowdays to emulate the nicer pianos..... I remember how impressed I was with a GM midi piano the first time I heard it, and what a huge improvement in the years since.

Very nice sounds and the playing is good too.

That sounds really nice!  Nice touch on SOTR piece.

"Ballad in G" is a very nice song.  Some of the synth choices are kind of outdated.  However the piano playing really shines thru.

Hi David,

Like you say, the piano sounds real good. Your playing, however, is outstanding!

I think you are a lot better player than True Pianos is a good synth.

I think it is nice, but I can't ever get it to fit into a mix with any accompaniment.

I end up using the stuff from SampleTank a lot more.

great job!!

loved it!

Thank you to everyone who listened!  And thanks for all of the nice words.  I appreciate it.

I uploaded a new piece (Song of the Week) today.  You can see my Soundcloud page here:

btw, I could seriously use some / any input on "cleaning up" my mixes.  These are all 1st drafts....for a possible CD release later this year...but not until I get a handle on "polishing" these up a bit better.  Thanks again.  X1 is awesome.  Truly remarkable.
