[url="http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=90"]http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=90[/url] The OP is better of investing in Soft synths/Modules. He made a point of wanting good composing sounds. If he is using Reaper, that has plenty of good usable FX, but does lack in The Synth/Sounds department. He would need to use 3rd party vendors for [good - realistic - Orchestral] sounds. Dance/sound scape sounds are easily achieved with the plenty of good free ones out there. There are also some good free drum samplers about. If you are on a tight budget just check the 'Free VST's' in the Recording sticky on this site, people have posted up some useful stuff.

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1085917' date='Jan 11 2011, 07:11 PM']When considering the CV vs. MIDI question, I was thinking about the MoogerFoogers. I was thinking 'wouldn't it be great if you could control all those parameters with a single cable?'. I suppose the reality is that you couldn't without sacrificing the absence of digitised processing, but bloody 'ell all them cables can be a mess! Which Line6 product were you thinking of? The Variax? Dan[/quote] i LOVE all them cables

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1082053' date='Jan 8 2011, 01:17 PM']The problem with CV/Gate stuff is that it is very limiting. With control voltage, you send only one signal down a cable; granted, you can assign that signal to more than one parameter, but you can still only send one signal. With midi, you can send a variety of signals all controlling different things. You can also send from many sources to many destinations and have them not interfere. CV stuff is great if you want to control a filter cutoff or LFO speed. It's no good if you want to send a polyphonic instrument part, LFO depth and speed information and a instrument change message; all of which is quite easy to do. Dan[/quote] hmmm, not sure if id use the words "very" & "limiting" to describe CV

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1073704' date='Dec 31 2010, 02:22 PM']I've been considering getting a small pedal board back up together again. I'm quite happy with my tone as it stands so I guess it's really just to experiment a little rather than transform my sound. I recently picked up a tuner pedal again and I have a compressor (Aphex Punch Factory). I probably only want one more pedal, two at most and wanted some ideas. To give you an idea of my tone / style, I play flatwound strung Fenders (mainly Precisions with foam under the bridge) through an Orange terror mini rig (SP210 cab) or a 1978 Bassman head into a 115E Ampeg cab. Musically we play Americana so somewhere between Dylan to the Stones via Country rock and a little bit of folk rock. I like a lot of 60s / 70s tones and am less into modern active-y sounding basses. I know very little about effects as I usually wind up not using them but we've definitely got some players on here who really know their stuff. So what would you recommend?[/quote] DHA makes great valve overdrive pedals that give a VERY authentic 60s / 70s sound...

[quote name='xgsjx' post='1061301' date='Dec 17 2010, 08:45 AM']If you're looking to always have distortion on then for wah, you can't go wrong with a Moog mf-101 & exp pedal & turn the drive up.[/quote] TOTALLY agree

[quote name='dumelow' post='1047526' date='Dec 4 2010, 04:47 PM']I thought the Q-tron was just a mutron ripoff but came pretty close to its sound. Ive just bought a q-tron plus off ebay im hoping I can get a bootsy-ish sound out of it =D[/quote] i used a q-tron plus for years, loved it.. the down sweep is killer !! great having the fx loop too.....
