What would make a good music creation software? My team''s musician is looking for a good program to transfer his music into and edit it and stuff like that. Can anyone help? Master Conjurer

Thanks! Do you know where i might be able to find a copy of those programs?

I hope by ''where i might be able to find a copy of those programs'' you mean ''where I might be able to buy those programs from?''

These programs are expensive - about £200 for Sound Forge and with Cubase price ranging from about £100 for a no-thrills version to around £500 for an uber-powerful configuration they are beyond the price range of a lot of casual developers.

By ''editing'' do you mean mastering? If so, then Cubase is not what you want. There are a lot of good shareware, and even freeware programs that house a lot of the functionality of Sound Forge. Sound Forge may have a load of high end features that make it attractive to the pros'' such as 4gig file limit, SCSI sample dumping, and exotic file format support, but for simple editing I would recommend GoldWave. Do a search.
