there´s something very very comfortable:

vst-notes

it improves your learning process and helps keeping your mind free for the creative stuff a lot.

+1 for Audiodamage Fuzz Plus 2--this is the most analog and warm distortion I've found. Totally rules on bass and rhodes sounds, can go from subtle to in your face with sustain for days.

Yeah, I have gone down that road too. Especially with the new macbooks out.

If I get live going on OSX, many of my live sets will be screwed since they use some XP only plugs.

megashifta is really cool. I have destroyed some beats with it.

I finally was able to achieve certain collapsing drum breaks in me choonz when I started messing with automating jumping from programmed preset to preset. Once you get nine or ten presets, you can just automate back and forth for awhile and get some nice beats that sound like they are being divided into thousands of small pieces, reconstructing and falling apart again.

LiveCut is great.
Synth1 is very nice.
Bizune, synth, is good when used with a compressor (some patches a little not loud) .
Odo plugs, yes, lots of nice synths.
UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.
