Hi everyone. I want you all to know I’ve been doing a lot of research on my own for a piece of software that will fit my needs and I’m having difficulty finding anything. Before I ask for a suggestion I’ll explain what I do.

I’m not looking for recording software as much as compositional software. I’m currently using Cakewalk Music Creator Pro 24 to compose songs and print it out in sheet music form so my band can play it. My complaint is that the sounds are terrible. What I want is software that will let me compose in a piano roll view (piano keys displayed vertically on the left side and a grid to put the notes in) that has more realistic sounds. It’s okay if the good sounds aren’t standard… just as long as I can upgrade. In particular I really want something that will simulate the strumming of a guitar. Also, a fairly advanced drum sequencer is very important. Printing capabilities would be required.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even a point in the right direction. Thank you very much!!!
