hope ya all don't mind me havin' a few words :



1- U should work with what u feel confortable with.. and 4 has long as it does what ya need!! This could mean fruity, cubase, logic, acid, what ever... 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 aproach 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 doble 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!!!



Mark... the problem U have seems similar 2 what Cisco had a month ago on his Titanium... Althoug I don't really know much of Mac I suggested updating the extensions (extension manager).. presto it workz fine now... btw the prob was he hadden't updated the ext after installing reaktor... maybe u have te same bcause of acid 4. ... hope this helpz.
