Hey all,
I've just gotten started on recording and so on I'm still a total n00b. I'm looking to buy a plugin bundle or something for mixing/mastering applications, which i currently know very little (read, next to nothing) about.
I have a sonica labs hush qxr daw (4gb ram, quad core, i think 2.4ghz processor, 3 x 500gb hard drives, etc etc)
presonus firestudio
cubase 4
adam a7 monitors
I just have a couple questions
1) I have the full version of cubase 4 so what sorts of plugins do I need on top of those for mixing/mastering
2) recommend me some such plugins or a plugin bundle or something
3) can anyone recommend and sites i can read up on some basics of mixing and "mastering" (obviously i just mean running my stuff through some plugs and boosting the volume to releasable levels and so on), or a good book on the subject or something
my budget isn't terribly large maybe 4-500 tops... I've looked vaguely at waves gold and stuff, the only instance i could pay higher for that kind of thing would be if the functional difference is monumental, and also if upgrading is inconvenient/inexpensive and such a bundle would serve me well for a number of years.
thanks guys
