cubase is the illest shit out if you can work it all out,it takes a long long time but when you get the hang,it kills cool edit and the other programs,cool edit is so popular because itsw so easy to use....maybe starting at that will be a good start....cubasis is dificult unless you know what your doign with your shit....so try out cool edit...i use cool edit 1.2,coz i dodnt have to fuck around looking for cool edit 2...i looked in kazaa,all is ther is demos,and then registration cracks,and im a coputer illiterate bitch and dont know how to do it all...so if you know how to work the shit ,look in kazaa for cool edit,all versions are good...
