Professional Software

[MadPumpkin]

I just want to make a list of all the best software for specific things. First I would like to say what software I love, if you like the same software you can still say it. I'm mostly aiming for commercial software or just non open source/free due to the extensive list that already exists on the forums.

My favorites software(not including opensource and shareware)

3D modeling:
Autodesk Maya
Autodesk MudBox

2D painting/general 2D graphics:
Photoshop Elements
Photoshop CS#

Sound and Music:
Sonar
Fruity Loops #

Any other types/genre to add?


Hardware section

Drawing and 2D:
Bamboo Tablet Craft

Sound and Music:
None so far, I use my cheap computer speakers and have no microphone



This is really all, so lets hear what you all use!

Graphics:

I really miss working version of Paint..

Chat:
KVIrc
Pidgin

Web Browser:
Firefox / Chrome (can't decide.. grr)

Office Tools:
OpenOffice

CD/DVD:
ImgBurn
MagicDisc

Remote management:
PuTTY
WinSCP

Antivirus/Firewall:
Fuk dat, I prefer uninhibited CPU/RAM/Network

3D modeling:
3D Studio Max

Sound and Music:
Sound Forge (Editing)
Fruity Loops (Loop Creation)
Presonus Studio One (Mixing)
REAPER (MIDI)

Web Browser:
Firefox/Chrome - Don't fully like either, but Firefox generally has less problems for me
http://www.rockmelt.com/ <---My brother sent me this though, so I'll be checking that out.

Antivirus/Firewall:
"Fuk dat, I prefer uninhibited CPU/RAM/Network"

Could not agree more. Not only that, but viruses are made specifically for antivirus software now, which ironically makes it easier to plant malicious software.

Great lists guys. Where can I get Sound Forge?

Sweet action, thanks for the additions, I'll have to look into Ableton Live, I hear it's pretty good, XSI might be an option too. But me and Andrew are both using Maya and Mudbox for our games xD so we'll see.
