Ok this isnt one of those which is best posts, we all hate those and I dont have the heart to put you guys through one. What I was wondering are what are some of the advantages/disadvantages of special charateristics of the different multitrack software out there. I ask because I have never been out the the relm of cakewalk(proaudio and sonor) and I want to know whats the world outside of my purple and grey milieu and if anything might be worth switching too. (i have a bad feeling this might turn into one of those which is best posts :D hehe)
 
Probably wont turn into a war, because I think most people will agree that you should get all the demos, try them all out, then whatever has the features you need/you're most comfortable with, then go with that AND NEVER LOOK BACK. If you are using Sonar, then there wont be any other daw software out there that is going to make your sound better. I personally use Sonar as well, mostly because I started with Pro Audio 9, and I will probably never switch because I'm comfortable with it and it gets the results that I want. If there is something that you can't get sound wise, you might need some different plug-ins or better recording techniques, but pretty much all DAW software is designed to do the same thing. Record, Mix, get it to CD.
 
i wasnt asking what was best for me or best in general i was just asking what are real difference between the different softwares out there. And about the demos, i guess it was the answer i deserved but i dont do well with demos... there limited features taunt me ... and then i have scary dreams,but thanks for replying anyways haha :D
 
They are all similar in function. It comes down to which one is more intuitive for you to use. The demos may be limited functionality, but they will give you an idea of what they look like. That should at least give you an idea of what you really want to ask. The way you have worded your question is very broad and not easy to answer.

Try some of the demos, then if you can't figure out if a certain software does what you want, then come ask that. There are many people who frequent here that use all of the major players in multi-track recording. So it will not be hard to answer specific questions.

I hope that helps a little? I know it does not give you the differences, but there really aren't enourmous ones. I personally use Sonar Pro 5. I have looked at others and feel I could easily use Cubase or Ableton.... It really does come down to what you need and what you like.
 
that helps alot, it wasnt the most serious post and i know it was really broad. but thanks
