What is your favourite recording Digital audio workstation?

[mcgreggor57]

I've used Adobe Audition, and it's previous versions, for years doing audio production in the broadcast industry. The lack of real time FXs seem to make it less than ideal for mixing music.

I mostly use ProTools but I have Cubase SX too. Once you dig in a little all of the programs are pretty similar.

I'm assuming you have a Windows pc. The version I d/loaded was the latest beta version. I uninstalled it since I couldn't find where to load VSTs. From what I understand you need a VST patch to get it to work.

See I have no idea what a VST patch is?Looks like I'm stuck with a tape recorder until I can get a Mac.Sumi

A mac? Clearly a man with money to burn
You don't really need to use VST instruments or FX if you intend to do simple recording. Give Audacity a try anyway, you might like it.

Audacity sure seems popular.

Anybody try Logic? I been thinking that might be a nice tool for us Mac-buddies.

Something that hasn't been mentioned:
Bias Peak and Deck.
I've used the "light" versions for Mac, and they're great.
But I started playing around with GarageBand one day. It's fun, intuitive, and has so many tweaks available. It's become my main program these days for music and voiceover work.

I hear lots of good things about it, and that the new version is really worth having. http://www.macworld.com/article/1423...gicstud09.html But I guess Garageband seems to cover it for me right now. I think I would look more closely at Logic if I really needed to do a lot more editing, like if I was in a band.
