Re: Great round-up article comparing DAWs

Nice that Audition has received at least some recognition here. I've 
been using it as my main multitrack recorder since in was Cool Edit 
Pro and found some of the upgrades quite impressive since it became 
Audition. In multitrack mode there are a couple of ways to go about 
automating mixdowns and personally I find the editor to be excellent, 
easy to use. I don't have the latest version, but have been thinking 
about it. Here is a rundown comparison between version 3 and the 
newest. the biggest down side to the new version is that there is no 
midi or vsti support.

I've also been playing around with Propellerheads Record, and there 
are some things that I really like about it, but at the moment the 
overall program feels clumsy to me and seems more cpu intensive than 
Audition. The version I have is version 1 and the newer versions may 
be better and I think now it's just included with Reason but I 
haven't upgraded since version 4 so I don't really know.
