Quite a long time ago, studios were considered the only place where you can record top quality audio. The situation did not change until the launching of digital audio recording software. Now after quite a time, audio recording software has ultimately reached the point where they can compete with the studio recording as far as quality is concerned. With the help of these software you can easily record quality audio digitally sitting at home and can compete your audio recorded at home with any audio recorded at any big audio studio. Well the thing to remember is that no matter how powerful and competitive the software might be, it will be useless unless or until you know how to operate it with perfection.

So you must got to have a fair bit of knowledge of operating these software before you can record any thing on it coz with out the knowledge these software will be worthless for you. You should question yourself about your needs and how much you can afford to spend to get it. let us take a look at top five digital audio recording software that are being used around the globe.

ProTools from DigiDesign: well it is quite professional software to be used by beginners. But if you know how to use it then the time spend on recording will be well worth.

Logic Audio from Apple: it is the most complete audio recording software that is available in the market. the only problem that comes with it is that it only works with a Mac.

Cakewalk Sonar from Twelve Tone Systems: well this is the software that I would advice for the beginners. It is easy to use software with quite good audio recording capabilities.

Digital Performer from Marc of the Unicorn: quite a solid performer.

Cubase from Steinberg: it’s PC/Mac compatible software. Quite handy for more experienced producers.
