08 Complete Suites The packages we've looked at so far are good for getting a basic feel for arranging and producing but if you want to record vocals or other live instruments then you'll probably want something that gives you a lot more power.
All of the following programmes give you a professional recording studio on your desk-top and are fully equipped to record and edit audio and arrange and sequence MIDI .
The unwritten rule with software is that the more powerful it is, the harder it is to use.
It takes time to learn these packages and the best way to do that is to just get into it.
A mixture of hands on experience, reference to the owner's manual and frequent surfing to tips sites and forums will allow you to get to grips with it.
Getting frustrated goes with the territory, so stay strong brothers and sisters!
The first three packages, Cubase, Logic and Sonar, come in a range of options with a cheaper entry level version or a more expensive fully featured one.
You can upgrade them all, at a cost, later if you feel you're outgrowing the version you have.
