Please be gentle with me. I'm looking to get some advice on what to do next.

Basically I have:
- a PC P4 workstation
- Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard
- CD burner
- Reason
- Soundforge
- Recycle
- Dumb midi controller and keyboard

I need some advice on a few of things
- Anything else you recommend (and why, please)
- Hard techno drum Kits for Reason
- the basic elements of a hard techno track...

...I've been layering the following but something seems to be missing. It seems to be missing warmth and space to the sound and the bass lacks that punchy kick to it.

- 4/4 bass kick
- Snares
- Rides
- Cymbols
- Lead analogue bassline
- Rythm analogue bassline

I'm not sure what effects to put on what and why? Just the basics would be fantastic

I'd really appreciate any advice.
