    Bouncing won't cure the problem - it's synth automation he's working with, not track

    Most important mastering tip for beginners

    A perfectly mixed song will not need mastering. If a given song is part of a larger album project then it might need level matching, that's about it.

    3 instances of synths in Sonar munches my whole dual-core computer - why?

    You owe it to yourself to at least try and get things running on your Win 7 machine, provided it's got a bit more than 4Gb installed and it's a 64 bit Windows installation. I'd try loading X1 (64 Bit) on it (followed by the necessary updates) and see which plugs that you're worried about are...

    Your favorite EQ brands for each application

    The stock Quad Curve EQ in sonar X2a is sufficient for nearly all of my EQ needs. I might use TRacks Linear Phase EQ for broad tonal shaping on the master buss, nothing much else these days
