Lot's of Pro Tools haters out there. But if your only gonna learn one program it's gotta be Pro Tools cause thats what the vast majority of studios are using.

PT LE 6.4 and Logic 5.5.1 on the PC. These are the 2 easiest to learn sequencers. :D
PT LE 6.4 on Mac 15" powerbook through digi002r ...I chose this because I am also studying advertising and the Mac gives me some great options in both the artistic and musical spheres- Im in a fair bit of debt now though as a result...being 20 its kind of daunting, specially when I d like to buy some nice pre's and mic's soon too, but why spend all your time worrying about what you don't already have- learn to use what you've got... I don't mind tools at all, and used Nuendo for a few years before- they both have their pro's and con's (as do most things in life) ..whatever floats your boat really
Cheers, and interesting thread!

I'm running Nuendo 3 on a custom built Intel dual core rackmount DAW for my multitrack recordings. And Sound Forge for my 2 track editing work.

great for scoring to video!
I really don't like Pro Tools for midi sequencing that much. I only wish there would be better third party plug-in support for DP. For instance, the Vienna Symphonic Library only works with Logic or Giga, and not with Mach Five (motu's virtual sampler)

You guys probably wont believe this, but I cross platform several different platforms. I work with solo artists alot so i track in pro tools rough bounce the tracks and dump them in acid 4.0 then i mix in ear candy synced to the tempo then i dump the tracks out individually back into pro tools and output all my outputs to 16 tracks to a Tascam dm24 and sum off of that, then i take the tracks and dump the stereo track through a 6 band compressor Waves 10 band eq and attempt to project master then out to a spectrum analyzer to check and make sure i have everything right, Then i dump the project mastered tracks in cooledit to apply the fades and get the spacing of the tracks right and burn them seperatly to disk. Man im wore out just explaining it.
I definitely use Reason for production, but it's not a recording program at all, so...
My vote went to "other", I use Sound Forge for single-track recording. I do use Adobe Audition for multitrack, though, and that's basically the next version of Cool Edit.
