The best one is sibelius.  you can plug the keyboard right into the computer and it will print out what you play.  you can then transpose, cut it into any type of score. some versions let you scan in handwritten scores and it will translate it into a score that looks professional\n\nfinale is better for percussion writing.\n\ngarage band is a simple program and home studio is good for midi tracks, looping, MP3 files, etc

Use MP3Gain. It has lots of features. The interface is very intuitive.\n\nDownload it from http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/

That's rather a large topic to cover but I will go through the basics.\n\nFirst of all, there are literally hundreds of Music Notation programs available, either commercially, or as freely available projects. One that I would recommend is Sibelius, though it is geared towards composition for orchestra.\n\nAdditionally, if you don't care too much about notation, then what you are looking for is a software sequencer. Guess what? There are even more of those available, but I would recommend either Cakewalk or Cubase.\n\nYou will benefit greatly by visiting your local music store and making friends with someone in the keyboards/music software department. This topic is too big to give you any real detail. I recommend you do a LOT of reading before spending any money!\n\nAs for the MIDI -> computer problem, what you need is a MIDI interface for your computer. They come in various flavors but the most common is the MIDI/USB interface. Once you've installed the driver software, any MIDI capable software will be able to either record (music data) from the digital piano, or play back music in software on the digital piano.\n\nI would also recommend reading up on the fundamentals of MIDI. Basically, there are 16 channels available and your piano may be able to play back more than one voice/patch at a time, say piano and harpsichord. You will need two MIDI cables, one that goes from the MIDI/OUT on the piano to the MIDI/IN on the interface, and another one that goes vice versa. With two cables you are able to record and playback without unplugging cables.\n\nAgain, MIDI is a huge topic to cover, but you will probably just want to do the basics at first.\n\nDepending on what you really want to do, the sky really is the limit. You can turn your PC into a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for less than $1,000. That will give you the ability to produce full-blown songs using a variety of digital synthesizers, samples, and percussion (both syntheisized and sampled). I can give you specific recommendations on that, but having a fast PC and a pro-quality soundcard are essential. You can use an outboard device that serves as a MIDI interface and a soundcard and that will save you a lot of trouble and money. With this setup you simply use your piano as a MIDI controller, and all the audio is produced via the PC.\n\n[I'm a 22+ year veteran of electronic music. Contact me if you have any questions.]

You need to get to a university library with a music program.  They will have subscriptions to article databases like RILM, Music Index, and IIMP.  There are thousands of articles indexed there.  Also, Google scholar will find some of the articles.  But not like the real thing.

It's either you pay for the price of a real software like CUBASE or CAKEWALK..or you can get it for free, but it'll be illegal. search for torrents "Adobe Audition", that has effects and stuff and is pretty straightfoward.

Currently I am running a few programs on my MacPowerBook and Ableton Live 5 in conjuntion with ACID, Reason 2.5 (I want to get 3.0), and LogicPro 7 provide me with a huge base of high-end products that have allowed me to record my guitars for the record my band released and worked great to provide solid production, mixing, and sound quality.  I am partial to Ableton perhaps more than any of the other programs...oh, and so many bands use LogicPro, Reason (Aphex Twin-from the UK), Ableton (John Scofield-US Jazz Guitarist played with Miles Davis and Chemical Brothers and also Thievery Corporation from Washington, DC).  In the end though any of our opinions aren't going to be the final deciding factor for you...you have to try them and hear the differences and go with what is going to serve the music.

inquisitive suggested P2P, and i HIGHLY disagree with this for finding your software.  The results you will find on P2P software will almost always be pirated software.   \n\nThat said, the king of all music notation software is Finale.  You can learn more about this software at http://www.finalemusic.com/   \n\nNote:  the full blown version of Finale can be pricey, but there is a free version of the software availble on the website called Finale Notepad.   This is an awesome piece of software!\n\nfor other options, check out http://www.sweetwater.com/store/category.php?&c=773&sb=productname&so=asc

Seriously, just buy something!\n\nIf you are serious about mixing you should consider there are two kinds of software.  One is designed for real time live mixing, the others are more designed to produce something like a mix CD.  My favorite is the one in the link.  It's awesome, very powerful, allows full beat mixing, and makes a great quality sound.  It's very easy to use.\n\nThey offer a free trial of their software and if you like it is less than $50 to buy.

Definatley Native Instruments Tracktor DJ Studio\nI've been using this for years, and its excellent. Have veryu responsive "cd players" with scratching capabilities. Mixer, filter. I love this software. You can also get dubplates, so you can mix mp3/wma with turntables. That is called final scratch. Want more info. MSN - AdrianC2006@hotmail.co.uk - Online a lot of the time\n\nhttp://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=traktor3_us&ftu=2030935867\n\nor just\n\nhttp://www.native-instruments.com

I don't know about the others, but IMHO if you use KDE amarok is the best there is. On the contrary if you're a GNOME fan(like i am :) I suggest you get XMMS and use madman as a frontend-backend combination. madman is a music organiser that helps you to schedule songs like the way a CPU scheduiler select processes for execution.(It's called AUTO DJ in madman) Its great if you don't want to hear only a particular set of songs. But be warned! It is still buggy and could be a real pain at times. If you need a simpler interface you can use quod libet

Well, the best bet is to do research on this kind of stuff instead of sending your music to publishers and seeking random people.  Most likely, you would need someone who could represent you in the industry.  Preferrably, someone who has some connections would get you in the door. \n\nDo research on google.  Master your use on keywords to find the information you need.

Harmony Central is a pretty good site for music instrument and equipment info.  They also have reviews.  You can also check out eBay or Craigslist.
