i recommend the one kurt likes more if it was on your list... Pro tools Le
just kidding
if you're a novice and are entering the world of recording i'd recommend cool edit pro! it's a great tool! if you work with midi much cubase sx3 is the answer! if video is a part of your world too nuendo!
You can see what others think of most of the software here
Cubase and Nuendo seem to be the most popular applications for home studios among RO users, according to this poll ... I supect that this transelates to the real world. Pro studios mostly use PTHD .... but IMO this is changing. A lot of people are getting tired of Digidesigns expense, being forced to buy / use lame hardware and constant updates / upgrades that render the older versions obsolete.

I haven't used Nuendo, so can't comment on it's usability. Nuendo (positioned as a "media production" platform, rather than music, for what that's worth), is expensive, i.e., 3x what Sonar would cost, street, with Steinberg's surround facilities added. It has an excellent reputation but you'll have to decide for yourself if the value proposition is there. I never liked the Cubase interface much.
I use Sonar, and have the Producer Edition. I like it quite a lot and it's been dead stable on my PC (also AMD). Sonar 4 was a *huge* improvement over Sonar 2, and up to that point, I had considered switching myself. (God knows to what)
I demo'd Tracktion not too long ago. Honestly, I thought the interface was, well, a little weird. Now that I have a copy courtesy of buying a Mackie product recently, and have spent more time with it, I find that it's actually very intuitive. As just one example, I like the way that processing and FX "flow" at the right side of tracks (Mackie term is "rack filters"), and the way that settings, meters, etc. are variously presented graphically in the icon of the insert itself, on popups, and in the information area at the bottom of the screen. Very little is done through menus. I don't particularly like it's Help features or project management approach.
It will be interesting to see where Tracktion goes, long-term, but it's not in the same feature league as the other products - yet. Overall it appears to be a very good product, especially right out of the gate, for very, very little money (free to $80 online download).
