What would be the best software and hardware for music recording?

What would be the best software and hardware for music recording? I’m trying to record some music with guitars and vocals but don’t know what software I should be using and what recording hardware I nee?? At the moment I have Adobe Audition which is quite good.


ableton / try demo
cubase try the demos is best man.. ableton is fun, their all a lot of fun really..
hardware .. hm.. try m-audio for reasonable price me thinks..
Has to be said theres a big ableton community at large so plenty of support.
good luck ;)
