Finally another episode!  In this episode I am joined by a co-host, Daniel.  Check out his work on his website and his YouTube page.

We first talk about some music software.  Notation software: Overture, Sibelius, Finale . . . Sequencer software: Cubase, Sonar, Pro Tools, Digital Performer . . . free DirectMusic Producer for MIDI sequencing.

And, of course, everyone should buy Garritan Personal Orchestra!

We then start talking about my piece, The Forgotten Wish.
