I'm using Cubase VST. It's good quality and fairly easy to operate.
If you're using Windows XP then Cubase SX should be more suitable as it's
designed to work with it.

Hey, to answer one question, I use Acid Pro 4.0, I like it a lot. I record through a computer recording interface, now the speakers question, it depends on what you have, turn it down loowwww bro.

There's no special hardware you need. Just a decent sound card. I have
SB Audigy Platinum. I've heard that Terratec makes some affordable and decent sound cards. DMX6 Fire is an equivalent to my SB but may
have a little better sound quality. There's nothing wrong with the SB 'tho
so if you don't have a good sound card either one of those will do just fine.
Both of them have 1/4" input/output jacks and midi in/out. SB has a little better support though.

Cubase is the way to go. Just double check and make sure your effects have midi-out capability. That's the most trouble free way to plug in.
