Songsmith is a software developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is a virtual music creating
software or just an electronic music software for me.Thom Yorke(Radiohead) would be proud of this software.Wish Microsoft made him ambassador for songsmith software.Being heavily influenced by music, I have always searched software related to music which would take away the cumbersome musical theory from music. After hassle of searching for such software for long time I think found one.
What I at glance liked about this software is its name. I have always been impressed by Aerosmith name was unique and ingrained with music, and this software reminded me that as well as its name is just perfect.

about creating/Composing music.
