Best vector graphics :- "Inkscape" http://www.inkscape.org/

hope it help you.

That's my tools:

3d studio max 2009

Photoshop

AfterEffects

Ableton Live

Reason

SoundForge

i' know they are expensive

I use GIMP for pre-processing effects, and that's about it...

i've tried to use a Gimp but after years in photoshop i just couldn't used to interface...but still gimp as a free software is very powerfull tools for graphics

I find GIMP's interface annoying and counterintuitive and I've never really used anything else, but hey, it's free.

Blender, Paint.NET, and Code::Blocks with MinGW for anything C++. And Construct, duh.

Edit: And seconding Everything as a search tool.

Here's a couple tools I've found useful:

• SFXR: The best tool for making your own 8bit sound effects for video games. Highly recommended, if 8bit sound effects are what you're after. And it's free.
• Audacity: Sound editing software. It's good, but not great. Then again, it's free. Oh, and open-source.

Um, can't think of any others I'd recommend right now that haven't already been mentioned. I've heard some good things about Graphics Gale if you want a program dedicated to pixel art. I haven't tried it myself, though.

for music i recommend Rebirth - it's classic and it's free now

why do audio programs always seem so overwhelming to work with? it's like the steep learning curve is more of a wall than a curve ... anyone here want to teach me?

i use graphics gale for anything pixel art

maya for anything 3d

and nothing for audio ...

I use Cubase LE for audio (when I need an audio editor, which isn't that often). It's very good, getting close to professional audio standards. I can see how it would be tricky to learn as a beginner though.

I use GIMP and InkScape for graphics, and of course I use Construct for making games.

Why does it suck? I find it better than ever :D

They screwed up all of the selection tools. I prefer being able to instantly drag and move the contents of my selection rather than having to finalize the selection and then hold control-alt.

I use Photoline(http://www.pl32.com) for image editing. Fast, cheap and stable. Great alternative to Photoshop or Paint shop pro.

I'm trying new softwer from time to time, but I use mostly photoshop cs3, scetchup pro 7 with v-ray plugin, fruity loops 7 and my brain( quite good tool). besides that i realy love to use pen and paper.
