1st of i use ableton live 8 and i have been watching the vids which are great learning a lot from them,in the how to sound tech trance the vst plug ins thats used to creat the bassline and and synth lines and stabs where can i get them i dont mind having to pay as it would be worth it of if they free i be happy with that:D
If I were you, I would get DCAM Synth Squad and get lost in it. Learn how to use it. It sounds better then any soft synth IMO. It is packaged as three synths and a combinor with effects and was modeled after a bunch of hardware synths. Just my $.02
