Matt Finley Veteran Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 27,569 Hudson Valley & Lake George NY	This post https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=591383#Post591383 gives you an idea how I use Presonus Notion for better sounds of the Melody and Soloist tracks, for my composition demos. I also use Cakewalk by BandLab as my DAW, and Adobe Audition or WaveLab Elements for finished stereo editing. I often use MuseScore to read and convert Music XML scores. I write music in Encore (not recommended to anyone else; it's too buggy). I sometimes use either ScanScore or Transcribe to grab parts of PDF sheetmusic to save me the time transcribing it. This is probably only half of what I use, but these are the main ones. In other words, use the right tool for the job. BIAB 2026 Win Audiophile. Software: Fender Studio One 8, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Fender Quantom HD8 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.
