Recording Programs?????

[Nalef]

Hey I have been recording at a studio for a couple of years, but I have never had to use computer programs. I was the mix/mastering engineer, so I never had experience with that kind of thing. Now that I have gotten into home recording, I was wondering what kind of program to use, all my buddies at the studio only do professional work. I would appreciate all the help I can get and the sooner the better. Thanks!

I use both Adobe Audition, and Sonar. Both seem to work well for me. Sonar has the capabilities of using soft synth instruments.

I'd go M-Powered Protools.

If you can live with the limitations of Pro Tools, then there is no really good reason not to go the Pro Tools Route. Personally, I use Cubase SX. Most all of the software nowadays is pretty capable. Some of the most common professional and semi-pro programs are: Nuendo, Cubase, Sonar, Logic, Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Samplitude, and even Adobe Audition.
