hi,


my question to you guys is:

if im looking for a software to record and mix and edit etc on a high professional level, but without any midi or synth or anything (all audio), do i really have to get a software like sonar or cubase or something, or could i get the same results with audacity?

ive heard horrible things about audacity, and also some very good things. im wondering if id be making a mistake putting my projects in the hands of this free and simple software..

what do you say?

I'd look at the Krystal Audio Engine for tracking.

I like Audacity, it's cool and works well for what it is, but I wouldn't multitrack in it when things like Krystal, or even Reaper, are available for free.

ProTools isn't very midi focused, and it is the most efficient editing DAW I've tried. Expensive, yes. Annoying hidden costs, yes. Worth it? I guess so. I haven't switched yet. I tried reaper and cubase and disliked them. Ableton is more of a midi thing but I like that too for an alternative workflow.

Samplitude looks awesome for tracking/editing (not Samplitube).

If you're on a budget, Sony ACID is where I got started. Even though it's marketed as an electronic music tool...I never used it that way. One of the most intuitive DAW's I've used.
