Right now i have Acid Music Studio but when i open it i finally realize that its basicly for mixing music together, but all i want is to be able to record my bands music onto the computer and create a CD.

So my quiestion is, In a band without a keyboard and no need for techno style music am i better off with Acid or Sound Forge to create a CD for my band. Or is ACID good enough to do it?

If all you want to do is record your band live like a 2-track tape recorder would then Sound Forge will work fine. If you want to do multiple passes to build a multi-track recording, ACID is better (Sound Forge doesn’t do multi-track, it only has one stereo track). If you want to record simultaneous multi-track than Vegas would be best for that (ACID does not record simultaneous multi-track, just one track at a time with multi-track playback).

Just to summarize what I said:
Sound Forge: 2-track recorder, 2-track playback
ACID: 2-track recorder, multi-track playback
Vegas: multi-track recorder, multi-track playback

Take your pick.

To add to JR's comments...Vegas for multitracking your band and Sound Forge to complete your master and make your CD. If you're budget's tight..then just start with Vegas.
