Best digital music recording program

There doesn't appear to be a difference between a digital music
recording program and a soft synth. This definition is from
Wikipedia:
"A software synthesizer, also known as a softsynth, is a computer
program, or plug-in that generates digital audio, usually for
music."
You are oh, so wrong about that. I digital music recording program
records digital music, audio and/or MIDI data. MIDI data has no
inherent sound - it is just instructions on what notes are to be played
and how they are to be shaped.
A soft synth produces a sound, just like a hardware synthesizer - the
difference being that one lives in a computer, the other lives in a
plastic box over there. Do you not see the difference? It has no idea
what notes to be played until it's told to play them by a human or
computer program.
Didn't this all get hashed out last time around?
