This is unfortunately what I've found. And that's not a dig on free
music software - even the professional stuff I've used on Windows has
plenty of sucky things about it. So I suggest you take a different
tact, like I did. It won't help you get your holiday music recorded -
this is a "bigger picture" suggestion.

Start a band. Digital recording with ecasound, audacity, or even sox is
a piece of cake. Stop using MIDI - if you're not an electronica artist
or a studio professional, it's way more trouble than it's worth.

Since I started using MIDI less and less, I've started making music more
and more. I've seen it in a number of friends too. It doesn't seem
like coincidence.
