Karen, the way that you asked the question was somewhat confusing. >From the way you asked it, it seems you may not be familiar with Rick Moen's article (later expanded by Eric Raymond), "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way": http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html I would recommend reading that article. Anyway... In *outline*, with today's technology, there is broadly speaking only one way to achieve what you desire. And that is to convert your voice to MIDI data, to edit/arrange the MIDI data, and to finally output that MIDI data as musical scores (for musicians/orchestra to play), or as audio (using MIDI synths/samplers). - A pitch-to-midi tool. Most likely this will be a software package of some kind. Some such tools may do real-time pitch-to-midi conversion; others may analyse (monophonic) recordings, and output MIDI. Either way, the tool will take audio of a voice as input, and will output either a MIDI file or a MIDI stream. - If your tool outputs a MIDI stream rather than a MIDI file, you will need to capture that stream into a MIDI file. - Once you have a MIDI file, you can load it into a MIDI sequencer and perform whatever edits/arrangements/etc you desire. Typically, you can preview what the resulting edit/arrangement will sound like, by playing the MIDI data from the sequencer into a MIDI synthesizer or sampler. - If you are happy with the audio output from the synth/sampler, you can record it as your final output. Otherwise, you could record it into a multitrack recorder for further editing/mixing/mastering. - If the sequencer supports displaying/printing MIDI files as musical notation (e.g. Steinberg Cubase does), then you can print the resulting musical scores. Otherwise, you will need to load the MIDI files into a separate piece of software in order to turn the MIDI into printable musical scores. Which specific package to use for each of the steps is a matter of choice. Other people on this list can perhaps make recommendations. Hopefully, that is helpful!
