Best recording software?

I hope someone can shed some light on this issue. Sony Acid Pro and Cakewalk Sonar 4 that i think are quite good, does anyone know which is the best recording software out there?

 

there are loads of software out there...
nuendo is used a lot..
however ..mac pro tools is the industry standard.

 

yeah i have used pro tools in school's sound studio and its awesome ......
i wish i had liscenced copy of pro tools at home

 

Apart from Cakewalk, Steinberg and EMagic supposed to be good

 

i currently use Cakewalk. Kinda like it actually.

 

Cool Edit Pro 2 wich is now known as Adobe Audition.. these are wich i also use

 

Hi Neo, have you concluded the best among the common software like cakewalk, ACID, cubase etc?
And also do you know any names of professional software and their cost? I am damn curious to know what software does AR Rahman use. (Read from a site where he stated that it took 3 years for him to get full control over his software )

Thanks & Regards
Arun

 

Sony Sound Forge is really good too.

 

i use multiquence and i dont see myself using anything else in the near future.
