    This hysteria that’s going on in the previous topic makes you ask a question to all of you: what ELSE do you need from the software to make good music / mixes?

    You don't need any software at all to make (good) music, you don't even need an instrument. But if you want to use software for this, a piano (sound) will be sufficient.

    When it comes to a good mix, you should on principle be able to do this with your DAW's stock plugins.
    When it comes to a great mix, third party pluggies are helpful, but there are a number of prerequisites that must be met beforehand (e. g. being able to make a good mix with stock plugins, years, if not decades of experience, appropriate monitors and listening environment).
