Music software: Sequencer s/w

Software sequencers have set a new standard in the way music is recorded and produced. With software sequencers users can forget about multitrack tape recorders, and instead use hard disk multitrack recording to record everything from live instruments and audio to hardware synthesisers and samplers, straight to a computer system's hard disk.

Most modern software sequencers support VST and DX instruments, effects and plug-ins. These formats allow the user to use seperate software instruments to use when making music, and allows them to use effects and plug-ins that can be purchased from major or third-party companies. Hi-end software sequencers also have built in audio editors, so the user can cut, mute, arrange and affect different parts of recorded audio without leaving the sequencer environment. Many sequencers allow the user to interact with the software by use of a hardware control surface, and many of the parameters in modern sequencers are assignable to these control surfaces.

You should probably also consider some of the products in the Integrated studios category - especially FL Studio, which is brilliant value for money.
