Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

After Effects, as the name implies, is more for post production. Often used "after" a sequence has been edited and using only a small section of that sequence (short format). Though it could be used to edit in a sort of klunky way. The power of After Effects is in the ability to composite layers of clips (diffuse, specular, shadow and reflection passes for example) and/or use plug-ins to achieve special "effects". Another powerful feature is its' ability to key out unwanted backgrounds and composite this over the desired background (think blue/green screen). You can edit to audio by using the peaks of the audio waveform but generally the audio is not massaged in After Effects.
Final Cut Pro is a sort of hybrid of these two methods. You can edit according to professional methods and add special effects using layers and After Effects plug-ins.
Hope this helps.

In the past I have used Steinberg's Nuendo and Cakewalk Pro Audio to record and edit my own music. Both of them are quite nice. Also one popular program is Cubase. I have couple of friends earning their living making music and I've visited few production sound studios with them too. It is my belief that Pro Tools is the most top-rated of these.

If you're talking about composing.Ok, Videowise, basically it's like this...Premiere you can add audio and do basic editing. In, After Effects you have more editing control than in premiere. You could also check out Sonic Foundry's Vegas, as well...which is kinda like their version of AE...heavily geared towards audio (they make sound forge, after all)...supports surround sound, etc.
Like KB, suggested, if the music portion is the primary concern, you'd be better off with something like Nuendo, Cubase, or Logic which allow you to work with video....though from some of the user forums for both Cubase and Logic, at least, there have been quite a few problems.
EDIT: I should've read Dexter's post better....he said it all.
