I've tried only a couple of times to work with Audacity for more than basic trimming, db boost, etc., never multitrack.
I use Sonar, but it's not aging well: I absolutely cannot use it for final mix down of MP3. The sound goes to hell, like you're listening across a washboard.
Ardour got my attention, though I've not investigated it yet.
I actually had that sound problem with audacity mixing down to MP3 or editing MP3s, which led me to other things.
I'm multitracking in CuBase right now, mixing down to WAVs and converting to MP3s with CDEX. It'd be nice if all of that would be handled by the DAW, but it works for now.
The two solo CDs were recorded at a project studio that runs on ProTools HD, so I have all my master tracks on the external HD I shuttle back and forth. For $200 I could get a small external interface with ProTools LE and have it all be consistent, which I may do so I can slice and dice / remix those tracks if I want to.
