What equipment do you use?
To make Music I use mostly Reason 4.0, Nuendo and Adobe Audition 3.0. I tend to use MPC4000 and Motif 6 Drum Samples and weird sounds I've collected and created over time. I manipulate my samples in Audition, bring them into Reason and then bounce each individual channel out of Reason. I then remix in Nuendo. In Nuendo I EQ, add Reverbs etc, and continue manipulating till my hearts content. I am using a Power PC with 2 gig Ram an evolution controller, and an SM58, and the left side of headphones from the 70's for mics. I monitor with a pair of Yorkville YSMP1p 6.5 woffer and 1 inch tweeter Powered Monitors
