audio recording

Jul 13, 2011 7:53AM PDT

<span id="INSERTION_MARKER"> I have composed some music in Sibelius, and need an excellent audio software program to record them, so I can play/perform them in iTunes. Have tried WireTap Pro, but quality isn't the greatest. What is really good? Using MacBook Pro, OSX 10.6.8.<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">

My bet is that output to some mp3 is possible.

Tried Sibelius...no response...

Ok...I asked Sibelius people what's the best way to record Sibelius pieces and got no answer. Just want to know...what's an excellent audio software with which I can record music pieces and play them back on iTunes?

Garageband?

I like to enter musical notes the old-fashioned way, on staves (staffs), notation...all that...and Sibelius is the best and easiest on that. So...does no one know of a music quality audio recorder?

Remember I didn't give the answer Sibelius might give you. You paid for their product and you deserve their good answers.

Last time I looked it did.

But that was 2010. Seems odd they would remove that.

just enter "View Software Instrument tracks as music notation"

I wonder why they are going to abandon the first title. It's rather expensive so to toss out that must rather than ask one question of it's support line seems to be an odd thing to do.
