NRJ Mastermix with Dionysos 014

[DIONYSOS]

Thanks for all the valuable input guys. Well I certainly am not interested in the AE program because I surely don't have the time for it nor am I interested to pursue a career in that domain, so EMP it is if I have enough free time for it, and certainly a lot of home practice during my lonely Dubai nights!

Ah well, since we've drifted off topic this far, wouldn't hurt to drift some more: WHICH DAW AND WHY? THAT IS THE QUESTION

[Proof]

Simple.

Choose between these:

Cubase SX 3/4
Ableton Live 7
Logic Pro 8

Finish.

Ableton is just amazing with its ease, especially 7. I use it now, and I think i'll be sticking to it for a while. Thing is, it'll always come with upgrades and enhancements.

Cubase SX 3/4, my other alternative. Brilliant with midi and almost an industry standard (if you're using PC). There's nothing you can't do in Cubase.

Logic ... only if you're going Mac. I'm on a mac, but I still work with Ableton, simply because I could integrate my live sets there as well. I work simple.

I'm getting a Mac soon so I'm mostly leaning towards Logic... but then the next question becomes: WHICH VSTs?

[Icepick]

Native Instruments Komplete...

8 gbs full of native instruments VSTs ...
Vanguard
Sonar
Atmosphere
Access Virus

..... list goes on if you want i can hook you up with a good webpage for all the vsts u would need !

[DIONYSOS]

Native Instruments Komplete alone is enough?

[Proof]

Yeah, NI's Komplete 5 is basically all you need.

Battery = Sampler
Absynth = Pads ... etc
Massive = Leads / Basslines ... what not.
FM8 = Pads ... fx, sometimes leads.
Guitar Rig = Guitar ... rig, lol.

Mind you, they need a f*ck load of cpu processing. But deadly.



Another couple of VSTi's I'd recommend:

Spectrasonics Trilogy & Atmosphere


best bet is to stick to a few and master the synthesis in it.

Vst Plugins:

Sonalksis
Ohmforce
