cakewalk just confuses me

and pro tools is too expensive

There is an online program called Audacity which you can download for free. Google it, not sure of the name of the website. I used it to do numerous recordings and it worked out great, has some great effects and options, and is free. There were some annoying in it but I think those have since been fixed. It's worth a try and it's free!!

If you use Audacity, I can help you out a bit. :)

I don't know why you want more than Audition, from what i can tell it's more than good enough!

Get a damned amp and decent mic set up first ;)

I find it too limiting when im trying to do certain things.

then again i guess i could just get loads of decent vst plugins (most of which audition doesnt support)

actually i just remembered i have reaper installed on my usb drive.

how could i forget that. All i use it for is EZDRUMMER

If Cakewalk confuses you, you will never be able to use one of the more powerful aps.

I would suggest getting a 'how to' book for the version of Sonar you own.

Sonar is what I would consider a 'gateway' ap to to even more powerful programs.

Why dont you get on with Reaper? I find it really nice to use, much better than an old version of Cubase I have. Plus its cheaper :)

I use the free Kjaerhus Audio plugins with Reaper - find them to be very good:

Of course, you might also be better off with a standalone HDD recorder. They are a lot more hands on than any DAW.
