... in order of frequency of use (hek - list as many as you want).
Of course - I'm asking for numbers 2 through 5, because obviously Band-in-a-Box/Realband is number 1 for all of you : )

Reaper for what Band in a Box and RealBand cannot do so well
Adobe Auditon for finishing files
Nero for burning
SqView for playback on stage (specialized playback software for square dance callers)
and I'm looking into Traktor
The order is not so much frequency of usage but workflow.
Edit: I forgot MuseScore

Heh, funny how many of us use Audition ..
RB
Audtion
Ozone
BiaB
Reaper
Those would be the most used familiar ones.
The Roland synth editors get used a bunch here also, but most people probably wouldn't include synth specific computer software although it is music related.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

My frequency of use is
Sonar
Kontakt
other VStis
BiaB
But my order of use is
BiaB
Sonar
Kontakt and.or VSTis
On occasion I use MuseScore also.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

BiaB
Logic Pro X/Ozone 6/Ozone 5/Nectar 2/Waves LinMB
Subsequent to BiaB generating RTs/Rds the usage is about the same as all of those following Logic Pro X are plugins.

1. Noteworthy Composer for notation (and secondly Notion)
2. RealBand as DAW (and secondly Sonar Platinum)
3. Diamond Cut Audio (for mastering, as well as to digitize and clean up vinyl record albums)
4. Native Instruments libraries using Kontakt
5. IK Multimedia libraries using SampleTank
I have a whole bunch of more music related software, but those are the top five (with a few alternates).

Band in A Box
Real Band
Sonar
Wavepad
That's really about it.
BB obviously is my composing tool
RB is my audio track rendering tool
Sonar is where I add live tracks and mix to the final product
Wavepad is my audio editor and converter
EDIT: I don't consider these as "programs" in the same way as the main 4 I use.... however, in Sonar, as plugins, Ozone and Melodyne are my 2 go-to plugs.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

SONAR
BIAB
Melodyne
Kontakt and other softsynths
Goldwave
that's not even FIVE, I guess!
I do have and use a lot of effects plugins in Sonar
most of my recordings use a mic, a preamp, a hardware compressor, then I mostly use my keyboard with audio outs, so i don't even use softsynths that much.
I use BIAB for scractch recordings as a guide, I use sonar for most everything else. goldwave for mastering.

Sonar Platinum DAW of choice
BIAB 2016 for arranging
RB for multiriffs
TRacks & EZ MIX for mastering as well as Studio One Pro
Melodyne Studio 4 for tempo extraction, vocals and tons of other stuff. pure magic.
EZ Drummer & EZ Keys + Jamstix, Rapture session for VSTI's.
That is my main stuff I use, I have Notion but I don't read music and don't know if this old dog will ever learn either.
