What Music Software/soundcards do you use?

What music software/soundcards do people use?

I use:

Cubase 5.0
Reaktor 3 (which absolutely rocks)
+ a few other free VST plugins.... mostly those given away by computer music, the otherwise quite rubbish magazine that i mistakenly subscribed to...

Theres a M-Audio Delta 66 (wicked card!) in one box and an Audigy in the other.

What about y'all?

Helix

have the following software:

reason 2, soundforge 6, acid 4.5, recycle, rebirth, cubase, logic, stomper, fm7, buckets of plug-ins and patches

not a breeze what soundcard i have, at the end of the day im not particularly into throwin away money on top of the range gear thats no more useful than what i have

juno75

Cubase SX, Reason 2, audigy
If u cant do it with that then give up:D

If u do good stuff with that rig then get better sound card and sum outboard;)

Gordon

Reason 2, Digi Performer and Protools free.

Reason 2 mainly because it runs on OsX nicely.

Lenny

On the talk about reason.. would anyone know where I could get refills...? soulseek and kazaa are rare for them(dam file renaming) are they free to download too?
I would like some urls if anyone has any..

juno75

Yeah, I second that one mate:(

Gordon

http://www.reasonrefills.com/refills.html
But not free of course.

Try google - http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=reason+refills+free

Thanks for that gordon, a friend had asked me to get him refills, I thought soulseek would make it easier being its a brillant music app program..

LOL, guess who loves Google! Most posts I've seen by Gordon are replies with a Google link

Keep it up...

Lenny

lol, maybe he wants to get his posts up in an unspammy way :P

Cubase, Cooledit, and some other stuff I cant think of.

Getting a new sound card for my brand spanking new PC on Friday, which shall be a Creative Audigy 2 Platinum.

Makaveli

Goldwave, Cool Edit and Reason 2.
Soundcard is SB Live.

I dont even know why I have these programs it's not like I do anything with them.

Karl Hungus

Well, as Denis Leary said when he got his home cinema system: "It's got yer DVD, yer VCR, yer Surround Sound, and a subwoofer so big that the ground REALLY shakes when you're watching Jurrasic Park, and a load of other things that I've no idea what they're even for but they just look really cool!"

Personally, I'm into recording music.
I shall be able to plug a decent mic into my PC once I get the new soundcard and junk.
I also got a load of other peices of crap like a drum machine, and god knows what.
Although, I usually end up doing the drums on my Yamaha anyway.

Makaveli

You see you have a purpose for having them. I just fart about with them cutting up mp3s and sticking them together.
Actually thats the reason I got Goldwave (the first I got of the above programs), so I could cut bits out of mp3s like stupid intros that arent needed.
So I also have an mp3 encoder because Goldwave cant save as .mp3 so that's another bit of software I suppose. The name of the encoder is BladeEnc or Lame or something like that.

Karl Hungus

Yes, but you have 'Stuff'.

It's cool.

End of story.

Nice setup Creed.

Thanks Makaveli, actually I just finished updating it a bit more (switched the music section to a java tree menu so it's a LOT easier to get around).

I dont know off the top of my head, I bought it all over the space of about 10 months. I was working in Angola at the time and kept buying new toys for each month I was home, barely used them until I quit there last summer (unfortunately most of the toy buyage came to an end then too ). Out of the of Synths give me Z3ta+, Atmosphere and Dr008 and I'd be happy.
