Hi all. I make Electro-Industrialish music. I use this eMachine M2353 laptop, a pair of Sony MDR-v150 headphones, and a crappy 2.1 set of multimedia speakers. AS far softwar goes I like Fl Studio 5 Producer Edition and Open MPT; also use Reason 3.0, Cakewalk Kinetic, and Rebirth 338 for making loops and audacity for final mastering. Oh yeah and a crapload of vst/vsti plug ins. If interested you can fin links to my stuff here http://hematurge.cjb.cc/aural.htm
