seems i have a few "limited versions" of production software that came with equipment and was wondering what people here prefer to use as their base.

i have:

Ableton Live 4.1.2
Cakewalk Sonar LE
Cubase LE

i know it is pretty much just user preference but i don't want to spend a lot of time on each one of these before i buy a complete package. i want to get a good software package and spend all my time learning it instead of 3-4 different interfaces. i am not new to music nor computers but i am new to recording digitally with a computer. (damn wish we had this 30 yrs ago)

so if you would be so kind as to tell me what software you mainly use and why you prefer it. thanx
