Interesting what a title can say about a song. I wasn't expecting that. But that track is definitely very cool.
By the way, I see you use Sonar... I hear that's good for mixing? How good would you say? And also, how is Akoustik Piano? I use Pianoteq, myself.
Hey Tommy, I clicked on your page just for funsies until I suddenly saw your track called "I'm Getting Ready to Leave This World." Now, I haven't listened to it yet, but before I do I really have to tell you that's the heaviest title I've ever come across. Ever. It may be partially because it's 3:17 AM here in California and we all know what happens at 3 in the morning. We start thinking. And you know what happens when we think. Well... we write songs with titles like "I'm Getting Ready to Leave This World." Anyway, I will now commence listening to your music. I wish you well.

Yeah, when that piano started playing I definitely recognized the tune.
Pianoteq is awesome... I haven't used many other programs for piano except for The Grand and I think Pianoteq is so much better. I actually used it on my track "Night Owl."
And yes, I'd like to have a grand piano as well. I would ALSO love to get a good mic to record the piano that I already have... but I guess Pianoteq and Akoustic Piano will have to do for now, right?
