      I used CoolEditPro for a while. Never found an Adobe Audition though. Currently trying out Cubase SX3 and trying to stick that only for the drums (EZDrummer) but I'm finding it hard to find rhythms I want.

        I used to use cool edit pro - I liked some of its features and how it was laid out. the version I used was pretty archaic.

        used cubase for a bit, it was nice. kinda hard at first. version I had was a step up from cool edit, but a step down from logic.

        many years ago I really wanted N-Track, but never bought it. the demo made it look really cool. I'm sure it's super dated by now, if not extinct.

        used audacity for awhile, still do for quick things.

        use reaper a bit for goofing on the work pc, testing out vsts and such, accessing non-mac vsts when I need them.

        use logic express at home for "serious" stuff; does the trick.

          Started out on Audacity, its a very good program, but somewhat limited.
          Tried out ableton live lite (line 6 edition). Didnt really like it. Tried reaper earlier this year, since it supports VST Instruments, and man, is it way better than audacity. So much more powerful, easier to get stuff done.

          Reaper is not freeware, or shareware.

          The REAPER installer simply copies REAPER and its support files to disk. It does not install anything except itself.

          If after 30 days you decide that REAPER is not for you, simply delete it.

          If you decide that REAPER is for you, you must purchase a license.
          It is worth the purchase price. Its only $60 for a program that does a lot (if not all) of what an expensive program does

            I used Ableton Live Suite 8.0.
            Not cheap, but the workflow is incredible once you learn how to use, it inspires creativity and it just works well, period.

              I noticed that Sonar Guitar Tracks Pro 4 has been on sale for $49 lately and it looks good, but last night I was checking out the Reaper site and it definitely looks like the best bang for $60, and apparently there is no charge for updates.
              I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

                Yeah, a license now (for 3.16) gets all updates through 4.99
                Kinda nice.

                  I used reaper when I had a computer to record with. Im noticing that alot of software is not compatible with windows 7 and OS X; mainly line 6; or at least not compatible for me...

                          This is 100% absolutely WRONG. Yes it can be downloaded without cost but after the trial period you are required to purchase a license. You CANNOT use it legally after the trial period without purchasing a license

                          Personal/Non-Comm is $60 and Commercial licenses are $250 I believe.

                            You can't use it legally without purchasing a license. It is not freeware past the trial period

                              I had used Steinberg products from 1998 until about last spring when I switched to Reaper. Very solid and capable app.

                                I'm a long-time Cubase user, I found it pretty easy to get started on, still serves me well to this day.

                                Reaper is another good one for certain, lots of bang for the buck.

                                And if I had a Mac, I'd definitely use Logic.
