Good question! I have a standard setup I use for FLoops wherein I have 6 tracks open. For the Master FX, I have the dB meter and big clock open, and for my 6 tracks, I have each one loaded with Parametric EQ first and Compression second. At this point, I have yet to add any more than 2 additional FX as I really don't need any more than 4. I am kind of the feeling that if I can't get the sound I am listening for within 4 effects, there's a good chance I am going about the sounds' manufacture in the wrong fashion. I guess if one makes dance or electronica all the time, FX are something to be heaped on lavishly, but sometimes I like a bass to sound like a bass, and drums to sound like drums, not like crazed, digital blips. In light of all this, I may wish one day that I had bought into Gigasampler, because it is supposed to be the best at reproducing real instruments . . .
