As i said before, i think i can´t go wrong then with the Boss VF-1
since it supposed to have "Mastering"-algorithms (and 400 others).

it to the softsynths i used and voila.

That´s true! I guess all these "mastering"tools just gives your music
the little extra professional touch.
And as Peter already suggested, educated ppl with prof. equipment can
do it always better for you than yourself (if really needed).

Also true. But i think i will get this Wizoo-Guide on FX before i
start to mess up my songs.

Still thanks to anyone for the info.
