Most midi software should do the same you need a usb guitar link and midi software to play the guitar into then assign an instrument piano classical guitar whatever takes your fancy.

Yes steel string, ovation do make nylon string classical guitars

It's all in the way you mix it and play with it mate.

I used an old ovation that I borrowed. Glad you liked it mate

Now that's cool mate great sound, oh and I do not have a lute just used acoustic guitar. Cheers mate

Hair raising!

Nice playing Chris!

Diggin' out some of the older ones! Spring Cleaning? My how things have changed...

I remember that!

Excellent.....love the feel of it....agree with Kavin a great 60's psych feel

Lovely!

Very revealing!

nice!

fun bubbly lite piece,, i enjoyed listening

One of the nicest guitar sounds I've heard in a while. Nicely put together

At the risk of dating myself, this reminds me of the Small Faces..which is good. It has that 60's psych pop feel.

nice, really nice!

Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!

I enjoyed playing on this thanks Norm! - no guitars harmed in the improvisation

nice progression

welcome! And excellent track!

Aengus is all Ethno 2.

I love your voice reef. Excellent tune and production - your acoustics sound especially nice.

This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.

excellent collab!!

nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!

I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.) Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.

lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.

Great vocal harmonies!

Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant. this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)

Excellent!!

very different - twitch dance :-)

one of my favorites by you!

one word... Chills.
