I don't think Mike is deceitful. It's a little frustrating that he uses wording like "a song I created". It always seems like he is a bit ambiguous. If you go through old threads you'll see a few example of this, always with Scott Yee asking "did you play this song or not????" Then he usually says he substituted voices, etc.
Not saying that he doesn't posess a unique skill, it just seems that when people start responding with "wonderful playing" and "you really nailed that guitar part" that he would pop in with "oh that's not me...it's a midifile and I put in my own voices".
Oh well.
