Now when you have a new idea in the middle of a song, you can store that treasure away for later use without skipping a beat.Īlso on the feature list is the ability to use your VST/AU instruments during playback. This tool allows you to store and organize all your musical ideas as if they were loops in a library. Trust me.Ĭreating and working with your own ideas is made even easier by the advent of the Idea Hub. And with the price of 24″ LCD monitors coming down out of the stratosphere, this feature could be more than you ever imagined. Think of it as GPS for your project, so you can get lost in your music. The Magic Margin Indicator will always tell you where you are in the composition. You can freely move about your composition without worrying about what page or stave you’re on, or getting sheets mixed up. Page layout is a thing of the past in this mode. One of the coolest new features is the new Panorama view.

Since Sibelius has been around for a while, we’ll just stick to the new features. And with the included Lite version of PhotoScore, you can also scan music in too. It’s not a DAW where you record your ideas, but an application that allows you to document every note and lyric of your musical ideas…publishing, basically. If you haven’t heard of this program, you should check it out–especially if you are a songwriter, musician, producer or, well, you get the point. LIST PRICE: PROFESSIONAL $599.00 EDUCATIONAL $329.00
