wow, I usually notice the dates on old threads and this one caught me by surprise!

I knew you would have good input Janet :-) I'm out of my league on this subject

:)  Sometimes the only way to really tell is to a/b the exact same song back to back.

But you'll still have differing opinions I'm sure. :)

I was actually pretty impressed with this, Tony, and since this thread came up again, I thought about putting Sonar X1's up against Ivory, with the exact same piece.  Since I now have X1, I guess I could try that myself...as soon as I can figure out how.  :)  (I've been too busy to learn X1 yet.)  

In the meantime Ivory Grand is (or used to be) only about $169.  I wish I would have bought that right after my first Sonar purchase.  Would have saved a lot of messing around.  Actually, I don't think that cheaper version wasn't available then, but if it would have been.... :) 

True Pianos Amber module (which is what he's using) came with S8 and S8.5, I thought, not just X1.  and even if you installed X1 and are still using S8.5 you can use the True Pianos Amber module that came with X1.
 
David,
this is a great performance!  you are a true pianist and master craftsman!  and while this isn't a bad sounding piano, I still think it's not as good as Ivory or even some others.  JMO.

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.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but just wanted to compliment Dave on his playing.
 
I am in the midst of trying to decide to go for X3 Producer or Studio and have been looking for reviews on the different Producer exclusives which includes True Pianos Amber.   This thread popped up and I followed the music link and wow, what great expressiveness with the piano!
 
 

Tony, Very nicely played and a great sound and final mix. Great work on this old time favorite.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
