The anime Romeo X Juliet featured a Japanese cover of “You Raise Me Up” by Lena Park, and I fell in love with that version. Because of this, I also ended up doing my own arrangement of this tune, which has now been covered over 125 times. I’ve performed this song in both Japanese and English.

Link: “Inori/You Raise Me Up”
Release Date: May 8, 2008
Original Name: “You Raise Me Up”
Composer: Rolf Løvland
Equipment Used: Sonar 7, Motif ES8, ME-NV1, Kontakt 3, and some cheap Chinese condenser mic

Notes: I quickly threw this song together to test out the new features of Sonar 7. I used to be a long-time Sonar user, but have been using Samplitude for a few years now. This song was a way for me to test Sonar’s newest version out. The short of it is that Sonar 7 performed poorly, and I’m very disappointed in how this song came out in the end.
