Not necessarily rock stars or anything; I'm suddenly interested in the process, what actually goes on in the studio. A text book, even.

but this program will turn your computer into a soundboard as powerful as anything in all but the highest end studios. The Hapsters, of course, install this in a Mac. Reason6 costs $400, but has everything.
