Newbie question: what is the big deal with outboard prea

Hello all,

Like most here I'd assume, I'm your average bedroom engineer/producer. You know - the one with the massive DAW station, that thinks he's one plugin away from the sound of the big boys, and is only a few more late nights away from releasing the next_big_thing despite the fact that he's got precious little time to hone his craft...

Here's a biggy for you experts

I need advice on professional recording software out there, keeping in mind I'm on a budget. I have experience recording using cool edit 2000 and Cakewalk sonar, but I am not satisfied with those.

I need software to do recording and mixing. Then software for mastering. If it all comes in one package (I'm doubtful it does), let me know.

Give me your thoughts!
