@atticus Tons. What sort of music are you intending to do, are you planning on using external MIDI hardware, VST instruments, or plain .wav samples, and do you know much about music theory or are you just getting into it?

@starshine My music is very aclectic. I can play Piano (self taught) and Violin (classically taught). But I do peices for those by hand. What I'm really looking for is something in which I can set up music nd then listen to it/record it. Oh, if you know anything good for electronic music, that'd be great too. I know a bit about music theory. @petalbasedweaponry Si.

@atticus I'm late to the conversation but I work as a recording and mixing engineer. You're looking to record? What are you looking to record and what's your budget?

@engelhardt Compose, amigo. And $150 as of last paycheck.

@atticus Oh, find a copy of Sibelius. Google it, it's awesome.

@atticus A notes-on-staff or piano-roll sort of program would probably suit you better, then. Maybe have a look at Cubase, Reason, and maybe Fruity Loops Studio. (Disclaimer: I've never actually used any of those.) You might also want to have a look at Ableton Live.

@atticus personally I'm better versed in trackers, e.g. Renoise, OpenMPT, Schism Tracker, Milky Tracker, etc. (roughly in descending order of functionality) They're surprisingly versatile, once you get over the rather steep learning curve of entering everything one note at a time, and in hexadecimal :D

@starshine @atticus If you're just looking to write on virutal sheet music, Sibelius will make you're life a lot easier. It's pretty intuitive. This e-book is dirt cheap and will get you using it in about as much time as it promises; http://www.amazon.com/Learn-Sibelius-Hour-ebook/dp/B004GKMZ12

@engelhardt There's also LilyPond/Rosegarden, though I'm not sure it's available for Windows. I also am incapable of reading sheet music in anything resembling an efficient manner (I have to figure out every single note one at a time)
