My first composition for 2018. Thought I'd do a jazz piece while trying out Sibelius. It came out pretty well.
Still using Cakewalk for the VST synths, but eventually am going to have to find something that can replace it for that. Maybe go back to LMMS and see if I can patch on the Cakewalk synths? I don't know yet, but will figure something out. Sibelius is a good start for better compositions, but, despite the 32 GB for sound patches, it's not quite where I need things for the full production. Like being able to try out different drum sets, and switching out the other instruments. That's not as easy on SIbelius, even though it makes composing a bit more intuitive, plus can print out music, which is nice if I ever can get to using live instruments and having musicians perform the piece. Thus it's a step in the right direction, maybe.
