Re: What computer software do you use to record???
I run Cubase 5 and have been using Cubase since SX3. I had a brief stint with Logic, and own Logic 9 as well as ProTools LE 8, but I do 99% of my work in Cubase and will for the foreseeable future.
For 'free' software, check out Reaper. It's shareware, but it can be downloaded and used (legally) for free.

Reaper --- free download.
I had been using Audacity for years because Reaper was half-cooked when I tried it 5 years ago; but when several recommended it again this year when I was looking for a DAW, I tried it and it blew me away. It was completely different, a lot more like Logic than freeware.
Love it.

I use Sonar 7, and got it from a friend of mine who has a home studio. Fantastic program.

Audacity.
Kinda sucky middleclassish but you can be sure it will never be taken away from you by the vendor, when you switch OSes or machine architecture. Given the state of the Linux sound subsystem some Audacity oddities are the least of the problems anyway.

Re: What computer software do you use to record???
I currently use Logic Express 9 on a brand new iMac. So far so good. Some of the included plug-ins kind of suck, but on the whole it's a very powerful and intuitive system. For recording guitar, I actually like using the Amp Designer and Pedalboard plug-ins. My latest Riff Off submission used the Treble Booster pedal into the UK Modern amp (JCM 800).
In the past, I have used Sonar 6 (which I really enjoyed) and ProTools LE 6 (which I have an intense hatred for). Long, long ago, I used Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 (the last version before it became Sonar).

Re: What computer software do you use to record???
Some shareware is generally full-version software that you are highly motivated to purchase, but if you don't buy it, you can still use it.
As opposed to "the only way you're getting a full version of Sonor 7 is to buy it, crack the demo, or steal it".
I started on CoolEdit96, then Pro, then 2000 Studio, then Audition, where I am now.

Do you find Cubase hard to use? I have the older LE version when I bought the Omega interface from Lexicon. I have not really been able to learn to use it fully.

Re: What computer software do you use to record???
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.

Re: What computer software do you use to record???
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.

It is worth the purchase price. Its only $60 for a program that does a lot (if not all) of what an expensive program doesThe Reaper site said:

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.
