[sig deleted] 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?
