Installation is as simple as inserting the program cd and following the on-screen instructions. Once the installation is complete, run the program and watch the tutorial. You won't become a master arranger right away, but you will learn enough to put together simple scores and video soundtracks. The sample I created below was done after having the program in my possession for only 30 minutes. The actual creation of the arrangement took about 1.5 hours.
