Sequencing software

Sequencing software allows you to use MIDI to create music. Each software usually comes in different versions ranging from entry level to professional level. The professional versions contain more features such as audio recording and synchronization of audio to digital video, which is very userful for film scoring.

I currently use Sonar (Producer Edition), and have worked with most of the other sequencers during my music studies.
