Not too long ago I started off with crappy magix software for a bit of fun got the bug & got sony acid pro, wasnt too impressed with it that much so went & got reason which is pretty awsome & Im beginning to get to grips with that but that has its limitations too. I also have Cubase which Im really looking forward to get to grips with next. Everything Im learning is either by online tutorials, (hate user manuals) Web sites & on sites like this one so I really am groping around in the dark somewhat.
First question, I remember reading somewhere that you cant use VST plugins with Reason, however Ive also heard conflicting info that you can! Which is it?
2 - Ive downloaded numerous instrument/synth etc... plugins as both Acid Pro & Cubase can use them & Im considering a purchase of either Ableton or Logic soon, so to use these plugins with each piece of software should I create 1 VST folder on my hard drive (divided into sub folders) that I can access through each piece of software or does each program need its own VST folder?
If so where do I save them to on my hardrive as Cubase can not see any of my saved plugins. Is it like Reason where the refills must be saved within the Reason folder in the program list?
I know Im sticking my head above the parapit here, (asking stoopid questions ) but any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys (or girls if there are any reading this post!)
Cheers

Most programs will let you point to a folder where your plug-ins are located (Ableton will definately do this). I don't use Cubase, so not exactly sure how it works in this regard.
