Yes. The "pro-sound" is all about crisp mixing.

- get some good monitors, and converters, cables, room acoustics to accually hear what you're mixing.
- begin with quality samples
- get some good plugins if you're mixing ITB
- for hardware synths get a high quality stereo preamp (you can also run your vsti synths thrue that to give it the extra edge, fullnes, bottom end that's ussually missing)
- read a lot about mixing
- when you're not making tunes just throw some stuff you made in the sequencer and mix (try to improve it, or try new techniques).. try to make it best as possible.
- make friends with someone who accually makes great mixes and watch him and lear from him.. <-- this is one of my favorites.
- leave mastering to someone who knows what they are doing,(if you have no clue) and have the right equipment.

It all comes with experience, really. You don't even notice it yourself, but when you check back on your older tunes you'll hear the difference.

Or at least you should. There's no short cuts here.

dude you have to know what you are doing to get that "pro sound". it doesnt matter wether you use hardware or software but what does matter is that you know your equipment backwards. also concentrate on music theory [very important]. there are NO shortcuts. just keep at it like the rest of us.

The pro sound? You hire sound engineers.

Haha , This is a funny thread, Krispy you've been round here a while, you know what happens when people ask this question. You know as well as we all do that there's no such thing as a "pro sound"! Why don't you post whatever track you're getting frustrated with and we can try adn give you some more specific advice.
