All of these programs have different strengths and weaknesses. What do you plan on recording, just real instruments or is MIDI a concern? Provide a little more info and I'm sure someone can help. BTW, you should add Vegas Pro to your list of software to compare.. www.sonicfoundry.com

i plan on recording mostly guitar based stuff and some midi. i'd like to incorporate it with a tascam 388 somehow. i'll check out vegas pro too. thanks !
