I use Vegas Pro and Sound Forge to do all my multitracking...but theres very little threads in this section compared to all the others...like cakewalk. is cakewalk a better program or something? -Tom

I recently got T-racks based on a recommendation from someone and I think its a great tool for mastering and finalizing. It's got Equalizer, Tube Compression, Multi-Band Limiter, and a ton of different presets. They're all great too. I was just wondering what everyone else thinks of it...and...
