Soundtrack Recording

After looking into the type of soundtrack we want to use. We've been looking into how we are going to record the music for our film, After looking ionto the type of soundtrack we want to use,We already went and looked at cubase a music recording software on the computers in the musc department. However we are not sure if its the best idea would be as firstly, its quite time consuming and its also not the best sounding instruments as its all MIDI based. (Meaning a low quality produced file which is electronically produced) When we want something which will sound good.  Howeve i have facilities at home which suffice this. So we will continue to experiment.
