Sibelius Instruments is a complete encyclopedia of orchestral and band instruments. It includes high quality audio recordings of each instrument including different playing styles (e.g. trumpets with different mutes). Instruments also contains an interactive guide to ensembles and in-depth information on how to notate for each instrument.
No short answers. I like that you actually write a few paragraphs about what I asked. It's a big help because I can be helped with one message, instead of having to contact you multiple times just to discuss something. Also, I like that you have the ability to make product recommendations. Being a newbie, it's hard to know what you need to get started making music with a computer.
