Hybrid project. Could you help me in completing my setup to get the typical sounds?

I think for your style, this synths will be nice:

NI Massive(SoftSynth)
Subboombass(softSynth)
Slim Phatty (synth)

good comps:
SSL G-Master Buss Compressor [Waves, Uad or the real one]
API 2500 [Waves or the real one]
FabFilter Pro-C [Fabfiter, good for individual channels]
Softube Tube-Tech CL 1B [Softube, powercore or the real one (:]
FATSO [uad or the real one]

Good eqs
Oxford Eq (Sonnox, Uad)
Brainworx Hybrid (Brainworx, Uad)
Manley EQ [Uad or the real one]
SSL G-Equalizer [Waves, Uad, real one]

Instead of these I would pick either EQuick or GlissEQ. Maybe throw in a Pultec EQP-1A emulator.

As for limiters: WaveArts FinalPlug or Waves L2 for track use, Ozone Maximiser or Voxengo Elephant for the master track.

Thanks to you both

don't I need a hardware compressor and limiter and eq?
How can I use those softwares on the Octatrack for example?

Thanks again!

Ok, I will formulate the question again.
I have an audio interface with 2 ins and 2 out.
I will use the notebook to run ableton as live looper (or a samples launcher, in case I cannot manage the sync problems of ableton as looper in slave mode).
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly probable, being myself a newbie) but I would say that to compress an hardware like my octatrack with a software compressor, I must connect 2 of the 4 octatrack outs into the 2 ins of my audio interface, right?
But then both octatrack and ableton will go out from the 2 outs of the audio interface.
My doubt was: do these softwares act on the signal which is going out of the audio interface (and so they will compress octatrack and ableton at same time with same settings) or will they be able to compress just the octatrak, or to let me chose two different compression setting for octatrack and for ableton?

But in any case, in this way I would be compressing the whole mix.
What about if I also want to compress just one of two channels of the mixer, for example the mic where I beatbox, and the synth where I do bassline, or the monotribe and electribe? In that case I need hardware compressor and eq right?
