its very effective to write something in a short time, it doen't cost a lot of money but you will never let it sound "real"
for that you need a very good compuer with a lot of ram. or a lot of computers. than you can take symphonic orchestra or vienna. (i am not speaking about symphonic orchestra gold or such stuff..)
a keyboard would be fine and an excellent soundcard. and a lo of time
but you will get what you want!
your budget isnt that much. try first colossus, its very cool for people who are new in digital composing

Thank you for the explanation, but I already have Sibelius 5 and Logic Express 8. I know what type of program I'm looking for, Colossus is not what I want.
Kaiyoti, it may seem as if I want to get very technical with my sampling, however that is not the case. I would like something that sounds realistic, but I don't really want to get extremely involved. The reason I'm looking into sampling is because I'm very bad with notation, so many times I sit down at Sibelius and try to get an idea out, but by the time I figure out how to notate it the idea is gone. I think if I can just make a quick sketch using a sample library first it will really help me compose. I know it sounds like I don't need something that realistic, but the way I am I always like to get the best even if I don't need it.
Thanks though.
