Deffo RENOISE! renoise without a doubt, so easy to use and quick!

too many people use fruityloops.. not saying it's bad but, it's got a bit of a reputation for being used by teens to make awful donk music.

yeah more stuff like that, although some hip-hop heads do highly rate it.

It's also got a reputation for being used by Skream and Benga to make classic dubstep.

As of last year at least it was "...FruityLoops for making the drumloops and Logic as DAW for mixing and arranging. The synth he uses is the RobPapen Albino."

I remember reading something about ableton...but I'm positive it was only for live performances with magnetic man or something.

honestly, i wouldnt be surprised if he was still using logic. in the production masterclass vid there that shit didnt crash ONCE. if you have a sick computer I guess that's how it goes :lol:

i'm currently the first person to use DAWedit which creates a program based on your needs.

fuck synthedit

within DAWedit you can also design your own plug-ins. I'm lazy though, I'm just gonna duplicate ones that I like:

Blueline Reverb
Vintage Delay
PSP Nitrox
Tall Phasah
etc etc

will report back with the results in about 6-10 months.

Oooooh, aren't we fucking fancy!

Trick please.

I use a broken rubber band and one of those greeting cards you can record a message on. I mean, really, anybody who needs anything more is just a cretin and doesn't even deserve to have ears.

:D
