It is quite an approximation to say Cubase is used to make these styles
of music. On the other hand, quite a majority of these artists do seem to
use Cubase (and Notator) with usually Atari computer. Of course counting
out the people who don«t use a computer. But these two programs seem to
rule the sequencing market anyway, whatever the style of music.
And on a related topic:
How many artists use stand-alone sequencers these days? I know a few
using analog sequencers (Panasonic, of course). Some using a drum machine
(Mark Cage) and some with something like an Alesis sequencer (Orbital,
well at least live). Any others?
