Greetings music lovers,  

The planets have aligned and I can now afford to take my hobby to the next
level. =) 

I've got two objectives:
1. Burn my mixes onto CD
2. Use hard-drive recording to record/edit/burn original compositions

I think (think) that I've got a handle on the hardware required for these
things.. but I really need some guidance to get the -optimum- software setup.

Cubase looks like it could do both of those things. A more specialized
package like Sound Forge looks like it would be useful too for objective 1.
My question then is, what combination of software do you guys use to do
those kinds of things?

Any help would be most appreciated!
