Hi, this must be some weird request that has never been suggested before... Is there possibly a way to use the Sibelius sounds (piano in particular) in DAWs? I haven't found a nice piano library that I like but I found the piano sound in Sibelius 7 is perfect and very close to real piano.

Would be great if anyone can help!
Thanks.

This has been asked so many times it should be a sticky. :D

No. The sounds are specifically designed to work with Sibelius only.

If you use Sib and your DAW together using Rewire, you may be able to do something, but I've never tried. It would no doubt be fiddly to to.

If you like Sib's Piano, then buy Garritan Steinway, because that's where Sib's piano comes from, IIRC. And there are lots of better ones out there - Ivory, Steinberg's 'The Grand' etc. I've got loads and I tend to use the Garritan or Steinberg.
