FTR

For the record, here's my setup for the 17 Cures:

Propellerheads Reason 3.0 (watch the trailer for v4, it gets me jacked up). I wrote 98% of the music with this software, before (!) I had purchased my first midi controller (more on that some other time). So yes, I used the piano roll to write every single note you hear. But here's the worst part... I was on a laptop without a mouse connected! I probably could've cut the time in half if I had the keyboard and didnt have to use the trackpad.

For mastering purposes, I used ReWire to bring everything into Logic Studio Pro, then went with the following Inserts, in this order: Izotope Ozone 3, Exciter, Adaptive Limiter, Multimeter.

I think I'll be using Waveburner for the final step...
