Hi all! I have a cool program recommendation I thought I'd share with the community.
So I'm working on my next multitrack, and since I'm using some instruments I'm not all that familiar with, I thought I'd attempt arranging the whole thing before actually learning the parts and getting started. So that made me search for a free composer type program that will play back the notes you plug in to it (that's simple enough for a noob like me who cannot read music to figure out).
I stumbled upon MuseScore and I love it. You basically get to write music as you would on paper, making as many staffs as you'd like and having all the symbols at your fingertips. Then you can identify each staff with an instrument (which they have a bunch of them with midi sounds) and play back your arrangement either by part or all together. It's pretty cool.
Here's a link if it sounds like something you would use:

I don't know if this is a free download or just a free demo version that will expire, but I'm enjoying it.
