Just released my first soloCD: Plugins utilized...tips

Hello,
I have just released my first solo album. Recently two songs reached top1 and top2 at Audiostreet.net.
As I did with a similar thread at my Brazilian forum, I will post here some tips and ideas in the making of this album.
Fee free to answer about it.
The link to listen to the songs is:

Best Eq,Compressor,gate,limiter plugin for VST

I would like some opinion on what plugins are the best that suites vst, meaning, I have all the wave plugins but I only use the q10, which I think it is not bad, LinMB which squashes the creap out of things, L2 which is great for rms peak, but if anyone has any other thoughts on other plugins that work better I am open to suggestions.

Thank you very much.

Tascam 388 and dbx 163

I'm wondering the best way to use a dbx 163 with my Tascam 388? The dbx 163 has only 2 rca jacks. 1 right and one left. Do I plug them in to the effect return and the effect send? When I do this, what will I be able to do with it? Will I be able to adjust compression on all 8 tracks using the the effects loop volume control? THANKS for any help

dbx 163 hook up to a Tascam 388 effects loop

I was wondering if anyone knew how to hook up a dbx 163, (the one with the wood panels and the single slider), to the effects loop on a Tascam 388. I never hooked up a unit with a single RCA jack for input and output. I need to compress a couple of tracks on the 8 track, but don't really want to compress the whole mix if I don't have to. I am mixing down to a 22-2. Any help would be great.

recording/mixing using MacBook Pro

I've been using my old computer (P4 1.6) for years for music production and currently want to purchase a new machine. For my own convenience, I'd like to aquire a laptop for music production (I'm using Reason, Cubase SX and Firepod).

Is anyone using MacBook Pro for recording and mixing purpoase? I'd like to hear some opinion, thanks!
