LiQuidMetamo...	Date: April 10, 2006 @ 10:10 PM If you're into beats, remixing and djing stuff then consider Ableton Live 5, I saw a tutorial and it looked pretty easy to use. A friend of mine uses it as his main DAW to the point that he rarely uses Sonar because he says Live 5 is just way easier to get into and put ideas together quickly, it supports 32 bit 192 Khz resolution and has vsti and midi support. It's famous for beat-matching tempos and crossfading as well as putting clips into sequences (playlist editor but easier to use than cubase's playlist etc) and triggering parts by pressing user defined keys etc. (good for djing live or messing around at home) You can download a free demo and watch the tutorials to see if it interests you. http://www.ableton.com/index/live/live5-tour-features
