I'm off rummaging.
Heh heh! THOUGHT so... Especially when I was having so many groove problems with Reason (which I now put down to incorrect EQing) and a friend was saying that his 808 just 'did' it without any problems. There was a whole 'software vs. hardware' debate going on, and I was convinced that if I could just do what the hardware was doing, I'd be alright. Once I got my head around EQing, it kinda clicked into place.

I'd love to read that article...
