...also wavelab is nice although i haven't used it much.

Sound Forge is perfect for recording. It is basically the same type of program that wavelab is. Acid is a multi-track program and is not good for recording a mix. If you want to piece together a mix with out actually dj-mixing it, then acid is the software in the Sony family that you would want to use.

so u saying, best is to record in .wav file, than convert to mp3 using a mp3 encoder like cDEX?

An mp3, by nature, compresses the sound file to create the smaller size. By getting a smaller size, you compromise sound quality. If you are making a mix to be primarily distributed via downloads, it doesnt matter too much. However, if your mix is destined to be played on a loud system, it is better to go w/ the .wav file as the .wav file is uncompressed.

Also, when you edit a mp3 file in programs such as soundforge, wavelab, etc. it converts the mp3 to a .wav file.

i completely disagree. acid is great for recording and editing especially long sets. too each his own i guess.
