I spent my study hall period in the band room on the band directors laptop every other day for about 3 weeks, and It took forever to get it as an mp3 file. But i think i did prety good for my first song, every one who has heard it at my school has liked it, my friend even downloaded it to his ipod lol. I used finale print music but now if i want to make any more music i'll have to buy the $100 program cause i ran out of the 30 day trial :(
