the question has many answers billy.
if you detail what you are trying to do with your songs, it would help me respond.

Manning, I Missed This Post
What I'm trying to do is record as many tracks as are necessary to make each song sound unique unto itself and that may require 8 tracks on some and maybe 16 on others.
All of the software is capable of many more tracks than that.
THEN we/I (a collaborative effort) want to mix the stuff to sound as good as possible.
That's about it really. I have Powertracks 7 which I bought. I have Cool Edit Pro 1.2 which was given to me and is technially a no-no. So, I can't upgrade this version of CEP without answering some stricky question. Ya know?
My friend Brett bought CubaseSE for $99.99. I HOPE it's still in the shrinkwrap, because it won't run on his computer.... I think.
According to the sys requirements on the package, a celeron CPU is not kosher with this software.
I'm thinking PT7 is the best Idea because I CAN upgrade it without a visit from the bootleg police.

billy. powertracks plus cep is a good combo because they both have their advantages. powertracks in the midi area and quick laying of tracks and cep for its what i call forensic audio features.i dont want to push you but upgrading from powertracks 7 to latest 9 is dirt cheap. 7 is getting a tad old.
and 9 will give you lots of new features like vocal pitch correction and multi part harmonies. also both cep and popwertracks have their own unique effects built in. so youll have a huge pallette of fx. just an idea.
what you might do to save processing pc power is do a bunch of midi tracks in powertracks, render midi to wave. you can also use virtual sound canvas
for example. do you have a midi keyboard ?
if were me i would use powertracks for fast laying of tracks, and cep for mastering. best of both worlds.peace.
