Re: Multi track editing question and cool software solutions

["Steve Lawson" <steve@steve-lawson.co.uk>]

I'll second Rick's recommendations of both Adobe Audition and FL Studio - 
I 
use them both, sometimes running FLS as a VSTi plugin in Audition, so I 
can 
use both together! :o)

my last CD, Grace and Gratitude was done in Audition, and the one before 
that, For The Love Of Open Spaces, was all done in FL Studio.

cheers!
