I'm looking at recording software now, too. I'm trying to get Cakewalk Sonar 7 to work right now, But the combination of Soundblaster ASIO drivers, Vista 64, and the 64 bit Sonar, I can't seem to get the ASIO drivers working. I did get them working in Makie Tracktion 3. Tracktion doesn't look too bad, but Sonar seems to have a lot more features. Have to see how the TASCAM FireOne I ordered works, I may need to go back to Vista 32 or XP (Probably XP, I hate Vista).

I can't really recommend either one as I'm just starting to play with them, but they have demo versions -
Sonar 7 Demo
Mackie Tracktion 3

And in looking up the above links, I see SONAR 8 is coming out soon. Have to see what that looks like, too I guess.

Anyone else have any suggestions for us to look at?
