What can be a good software to use to make piano instrumentals?

Hello! I was looking for a software which can create music files. I don't want a tutorial software or anything. I just want to compose the music into my pc, so that I can record it. I can't record from my piano because I have a low quality computer microphone. So, any suggestions which can help me? Again, I want something that's as simple as possible and easy to use. I'm using Windows XP.What can be a good software to use to make piano instrumentals?You question is odd. You want to compose? So you want to write note by note? Or play your piano and have that recorded, but not by your crappy mic? I don't quite know what you mean. I have an m-audio axiom 61 midi controller that I use in my music production, and I love it. Here's a link to the specs. http://keyboards-midi.musiciansfriend.co鈥?/a> I use it in conjunction with Reason 4.0, which has samplers, synths, loop players, etc. Here is the link to the Reason site. http://www.propellerheads.se/products/re鈥?/a> I have some great piano sounds in Reason, and they sound great when played with the axiom. I can also then add drums, bass, effects, violin, whatever I can think of. The program is not simple, but a simple program would not allow you full control over your music the way Reason does. I'm not sure if you are looking for this type of setup, I just thought I'd tell you about mine, it is a good virtual studio. Here is a track I wrote the other day. http://www.zshare.net/audio/592774843a78鈥?/a>

So, that is what I suggest to everyone, just because the setup has made me so happy. I love my gear and I love my music. You could probably also just go get a good mic for a couple hundred bucks and hang it over your piano, and record with Audacity. Audacity is a free audio editor. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
