would you recommend acid for people like me?

[skinny arms]

i've been having some problems with my free version of cubase VST and have been considering switching to a new program, and i must say that the price is pretty right for acid.

so you guys are the experts, how is it?

i'm mainly a lo-fi indy rocker, stereolab, flaming lips, pavement, radiohead kind of guy. i'd be wanting to record alot of guitar and bass and live drums, but also want to do a lot of (i'm very new to it) midi drum loops and what not

i have a creative internal audigy platinum and a pretty decent machine to run it on.

would you guys recommend it?
