I have this software, and I love it, too. I keep intending to really sit down and spend some time learning more about it--I know just enough to play, but not enough to get what's in my head down on paper. There is definitely a learning curve involved, but I think it's well worth the time. By best hint--have your EQ books spiral bound at Kinko's so they'll lay flat on the desk while you're working with them!
