Whoa!  Thanks, Folk.  That's quite a sonic arsenal!
 
If you had to choose between Pro Tools and Logic, which would you choose?

It depends on what I'm doing. And things have changed over the years; I also lost a lot of kit when I moved to the States.
As I always need something organic in the mix, I use a Mackie 1624 mixer.
Software wise, basics like Soundforge for Wav editing. Fruiytloops for loop generation. Cubase. I used Logic for a bit, and would still recommend it.
I have a Delta 1010 soundcard, and will never buy anything from M Audio again, WAY to many MS conflicts.
Although I record to hard drive, the main mix will always be thru the Mackie. I would love Pro Tools, but can never find a decent rip ;)
I always record live, i.e. hands on the mixer.
These days I do mainly field recording and loop generation. Guitar = Epiphone LP copy..nice action, low budget :) I was once the proud owner of numerous guitars, strat, les paul, hofner (acoustic) among others.
After losing all my Roland kit (101, 303, 909 etc.) I invested in a JP8000, and use sample programs for drums now.
I would use Ableton for live. Good when using 'raw' cuts, and mixing on the fly, less processor issues.
Truthfully I am more of a sound freak, than software freak, and will gladly mess around with anything I can get my hands on. I used to do a lot of circuit bending, particularly with pedals. Then it got trendy and naff.
Rebirth and reactor occassionally get used.

Gatherers,
 
I'm looking into different kinds of recording software and I'm not sure what to get.  What do the rest of you guys use and why?
 
Cheers,
 
Adam

I would only use Ableton for live performance, using 'raw cuts'. Not practical for recording, as my sound sources come from numerous places...
Not a fan of Cakewalk, though. My mixdowns are still analog.

Ableton Live . . . . 
 
I must admit I have never really got along with that program, I guess I am a Cakewalk/Sonar type of guy
