I use Sonar 3 producer edition for the pc. I know everybody says this but im just tryin to get "that sound" found in commercial cds. I record everything nice and clear but the plugin effects are what really polishes the mixes. I picked up a waves bundle a couple days ago and my stuff sounds better already!

There's an old expression "When you have a hammer everything looks like a nail". Similarly when budding engineers get a new piece of gear, or software, they tend to use it on everything.
Just be aware of what problem you are trying to fix, and use the correct tool(s) as well as being aware of what is left well enough alone. Before you add anything listen and decide on the goal. Learning how to achieve it is what takes time. More often than not, the best processing is none at all if everything was recorded well.
Best of luck on the new software, Waves is a good start.
