Ze MigL mentioned some great stuff:



1- U should work with what u feel confortable with.. as long as it does what ya need!! This could mean fruity, cubase, logic, acid, whatever... I've made a few nice (at least my friends like it lol :P) noises with any of 'em ... But I also love harware...



All in all, approach software as a new thing and not like something that's supposed 2 sound like a certain equip...



it's really up 2 yer taste & imagination .. compression is very cool but it's a very long and steep learning curve... I've been more addicted 2 it in the past.



A good use of eq (restricting each sound 2 it's fundamental sound - I know this is a very sensitive subject!), smart use of little panning, maybe some subtle reverb (depending on style).. but most of all carefull with levels (mixing levels).. don't use just yer ears.. use also your eyes on the meters... U can have a powerfull kick at x db then don't use double that!!



I love the new Cubase, love soft synth & hardware .. use both... but I must say a software sampler works a lot better 4 me!



4 pre-mastering / edits.. my prefered tool is by far Wavelab!!!
