Music software

I'm amazed by the variety of audio and music production software tools available. Inexpensive
programs such as Propellerhead Reason, Peak Bias, Apple Logic Express, and Sony Acid have enabled fledgling music producers to create professional sounding materials. Many of these user friendly tools have multiple audio tracks, virtual multi-channel mixers, user definable controllers, MIDI control, and a myriad of sound effect capabilities. Professional software tools such as Apple Logic Studio, Avid/ Digidesign Pro Tools, Cakewalk Sonar 8, Steinberg Cubase, and Ableton Live are used by recording engineers to create materials for musicians and film producers. All of the aforementioned audio software programs are powerful tools that have been used to optimize and edit professional sound recordings.
