thankyou for the info, it sounds helpfull.. i will have a look into VST's. namely the few u mentioned, and get back here if i need any more guidance..

i forgot to mention, i also have reason 2.5. is this any better/easier to use? i have heard the sound quality is much better when it comes from reason. true? or am i best sticking to frooty while i grab the ropes?

thanks again m8.

ebo.
