I am a self taught piano player, moderate level right now. And I have played the trumpet for 10+ years from mid to college and played with a couple local bands. I use a Roland Fantom X6, Sonar 3 Producer Edition, and a Sony Vaio 2.8 P4 w/HT 512 RAM, 240 GB HD space, w/M-Audio Omni sound studio w/breakout box. Also have a pair of M-Audio BX5's, MXL 2003 & Shure PG 48 mics, Les Paul 2, V-Amp 2, and a Benge Trumpet
