My usual answer is, "I have absolutely no idea but try to get the results with what you`ve already got first". Too often students are blinded by the marketing hype and `gear lust`: if only they had X piece of equipment, their music would improve immeasurable and fame and fortune will surely follow.
Looking at things a little closer, did you know, for example that, apart from minor variations, all standard digital EQs are essentially the same? That`s right, that £500 wonder plugin you just bought may have a very nice, intuitive GUI but actually does nothing more for your music than the EQ already built into your DAW. It`s not the EQ that`s important, it`s the person that`s using it.
An old axiom always rings true unfortunately - garbage in, garbage out.
Why is it that a man with a homemade guitar made from a plank of wood and only two strings can make music that can make the Gods weep and yet someone with the latest, greatest £2000 guitar plainly still has a long way to go?
So what`s the secret? The secret is: there is no secret apart from learning, understanding, application, hard work, and progression.
