I tried the demo of Sibelius and really liked it alot better than Finale, you can just work faster, plus the demo compositions sound really High quality, so Im defiantly going to think of buying this some time. Thanks everyone.

So the best out of all the ones mentioned is Sibelius 5? I'll see if I can give it a trial, and maybe buy it if its not to much. ( I bought more expensive things before....Photoshop CS2 )

Im fairly new to the entire music creation stuff, mainly Im more of a animation, 3D CGI, and digital art person, but I wanted to give song writing a try. Do most programs out there "Like Fruity Loops, or Logic, ect.) support the feature where you actually write in the notes like you would sheet music? Finale is the only program I know that does this, but does any other?

Hello, I am new. Basically I found this site when looking for a Chrono Trigger - Battle With Magus Remix...The first I heard was Black Wind Rising, By Star Slazman. And wow, was I impressed. I decided to join and see what was up on the forums and such. Well, to tell a bit about myself, I'm basically a 3D Modeler & Animator, along with a few experience in Graphic design. I got two good friends who work with me in a group called "M-Productions" where we simply make video's usually making fun of certain aspects of human society. I am the animator, the other is the composer, and the last one is the story writer and concept artist. I'm hopeing to get them to eventually join here as well.
