Q. I dream of awesome music tunes at night when I go to sleep, I wake up wishing I could record them somehow, I only play a few chords on guitar tho, is there any good music software not to complex that is good for getting tunes down. I don't have an instrument at the moment.
A. You can try FL Studio (PC only). It has virtual instruments and sampled instruments. It's easy as using your computer's keyboard to record notes, or you can just draw the notes in on a piano roll time line. Very easy and fun.
Here's a free demo: http://flstudio.image-line.com/documents/download.html
Check out youtube if you need advice, www.youtube.com/imageline is a good start.
If you decide to purchase one of the full editions, here's an instant 10% discount you can use when you buy directly from the developers of FL at Image-Line:

Here's a comparison of the editions' features. Note that Producer and Signature bundle are the only editions that allow the use of the pattern clip area (top portion) of the playlist and allow audio recording.

You get free lifetime updates for the products you purchase, so you'll get FL 10, 11 ect.. free once they are released. You also get official forum access at http://forum.image-line.com/ to ask questions to the staff and experienced users.
have fun getting your ideas down!
What kind of software can help me with sheet music by showing me a virtual keyboard?
Q. I used to play the piano and the violin but am a bit rusty on some of the harder chords and notes. I want to get back into it but I am curious if there is a program that can take my digital sheet music or scanned sheet music and play it for me while showing me which notes are which on a digital keyboard.
A. Guitar Pro might help

I use Fruityloops(FL Studio) & Ableton Live too
Check out Finale Music Composing and Notation Software too.

Piano songs with a lot of strange chords?
Q. I wanna get out of the habit of using triads a lot of the time. Anyone know a song with piano in it that has a lot of different chords rather than just C, F, Gm, Bb, etc. Rock songs or ballads only please. Thanks.
