    Thanks... I have downloaded Reaper but never actually used it, just a bit more experienced with Audacity. I'll take your advice on all of the above, much appreciated. 

    If you can't get along with Reaper you can try Tracktion Waveform 11 (free version). Very easy to use and totally free or if you're using Windows you can get Cakewalk (another great DAW and totally free).

    If you have Cubase, it already comes with everything you need for mixing your songs. All you'll ever need is EQ, compression, saturation, reverb and delay which Cubase has very good ones. Unless you are looking for analogue emulation plugins or something special. If that's not the case then you have every plugin you need.

    My advice will be to learn those first and if there's something you want to do and you can't by using the stock plugins then go buy some more.

    As a person who needs structure to be able to learn anything I appreciate that he decided to provide a proper learning journey to new students. I hate most online schools are all they do is chuck courses and let you to your own devices. This could be a real game changer which guide players much like traditional schools do where once you're done with the Syllabus then you can pick and choose any other extra courses targeting specific subjects but this means you'll be able to make the best out of them because you are well familiar with the material imparted because the foundation was already well laid along "The Path".

    Kudos to him, he has created a great online resource and now I think more people will be able to make the most out of it.

    Ok Guys, those of you that own a Focusrite interface and were smart enough to register it are now able to get Bias FX2 LE for free.

    Just login to you account, then go the My Software, follow the instructions and get the goodies.

    ENJOY!!!!

    BTW Waves are not giving 2nd licenses for any active plugins that you have. Go to the Waves page and register to get 2nd licenses to install in your second computer.

    ENJOY!!!!!

    Generally speaking, you won't even really hear the benefits of 96kHz unless you're recording audio with a lot of nuance, spoken word, perhaps a close-mic'd string quartet, acoustic folk etc etc.
    If one is recording 'rock and pop' music, ie music that distorts the sound-wave in some way (and of course I count 'synth' sounds found in pop and other music in that), then really 44.1 or 48 is more than enough. Increasing from there will increase the size of your project files, although also improve your latency figures, so there are pros and cons that come with the choice.

    But it sounds homemade.

    It sounds good, I like the separation. Only one thing I'm hearing a lot of low end in places there shouldn't be like Synth, vocals, etc...

    My advice would be to high pass everything except for the bass synth and drums so that are don't feel so cluttered. make sure too that the low mids are cleared too because there's a bit of boominess there too. Apart from that? well it sounds quite good and I like the tune.

    It is not gear, but your capacity as mixing engineer. It takes hours and lots of mixing to get to sound like the pros. Your gear and software is enough for you to create "radio ready" music the problem is in the mixing and mastering process. Case in point Billie Eilish music was all recorded and produced by her in her brother in their bedroom but all those songs were mixed and mastered by a mixing and master engineer.

    Chucking more gear and plugins at it will make no difference, if you want to get better at mixing you need to get some knowledge and practice.

    I hope this helps.

    Yes and there's a lot there for you to watch, from complete mixes (beginning to end) to tips and masterclasses.

    Another great resource is Groove3, they have lots of complete mixes and courses and best of all you can sign out whenever you want.
