The cracked version of ableton has a tendency to self destruct at the most inopportune times so watch out if you are using it...

Cubase is the worst program on earth. Even the midi timing in internal soft synths sounds off. I have heard tons of issues about timing problems in cubase.

Logic is good but it's tough to learn

Protools is great for recording but I wouldn't want to use it to make all my tracks. But it's worth getting to know it if you can.

Most promoters don't pay fuck all so if you want to buy lots of fancy gear do what I did and get a real job and save up. There's no way to make any kind of living off the rave culture unless you are a drug dealer.

Alien Zed what kind of recording are you doing? For simple stuff soundedit is alright, heard a lot of good things about Amadaeus, I'm not on a Mac though. Peak is one of those programs like Cubase, a lot of people use it but everyone who does hates it. I certainly hate it.
