getting back into recording - any new cool software stuff?

[northern_dirt]

Protools is just that.. "pro" tools..
I use and am going to continue to use the
LE versions of it at home because ive been
using it professionally for over 6 years and
so am pretty immersed in it. I will be looking
into some VST based system too, just for
plugins, unless I can find a suitable wrapper..

Also Reason 4.0 looks pretty hot.. and you
can upgrade from any previous version
for like $125 (and I see used REASON 2.5's
going for $50 on CL sometimes).. so its like
getting a $500 product for under $200..
