Don't feel restricted to using one DAW. I love to record audio in Pro Tools, the fact that you can change the tempo and it speeds up all the audio is a great feature, and also I like the logical workflow for the audio. For MIDI, I use either SONAR or Cubase, and to mix it's SONAR all the way. I use all three
