...which delivers the "professional" sound without you having to think about compressing and other effects that much. It just requires studying and skill to make those tones in Soundation.

I'm just gonna say something related to this DAW thing going on. Soundation is an amazing DAW and I enjoy using it very much. I've tried many other DAWs as well, including FL. FL is very hard to learn compared to Soundation. I agree that many third party VSTs used in FL or others delivers a high quality sound that Soundation instruments can't (without layering and fx!) with ease, but as @CC said the presets are highly overused. What I'm trying to say that it makes you feel "better" at making music because the 3rd party plugins usually has internal effects and audio processors...

Who said im good??????? The only thing that i learned sucessfully on Fl was make The 808 bass and hi hat roll. Why i said cyclosa???. I never forget that i knew nothing about make Music and often breakin brains to learn. But there is no perfect DAW.
