Well, about music production: a notation software is definitely not the best option for this purpose. I mean, if the goal is to really achieve sound quality, it's better to forget about Crescendo (or any other notation software). I'm a film composer, so I work mostly with DAWs (like Ableton, but I use Reaper and Cubase); but on the other hand, I studied classical orchestration and arrangement in a traditional way. So I also use Crescendo to write my songs. However, I use Crescendo more for studying and note-taking purposes than for recording. Otherwise, I don't really care much about the Crescendo's sound, or the volume, for example (unfortunately I can't help you with this because I don't even know how to do it!). But anyway, if you're looking to improve sound quality, it's a MUCH better idea to opt for Ableton. However, it is important to say that this involves mixing knowledge. Ableton won't sound better than Crescendo if you don't know how to mix!

It works relatively well, but the big problem with Crescendo is that it has a limit of instruments available for VST use. In other words, depending on how large the orchestra is, there will be no sound reproduction in the notation in the last tracks. Up to 15 tracks the software responds well, however, after the 16th, no more sound is played (but at least we can write without problem). I really hope they improve this in the next updates... for me it would be perfect if 30 tracks sounded without problems.
