Software for making dance/electronica?

[tZer]

Reason
Sonar 5
Ableton Live
Lots of plug-ins, lots of VST's

Oops... lots of $$$ too...

But you can create anthing with all that!

You know what I'm thinking might be nice? Hydrogen. It's actually a drum machine, but it's got 32 slots for instruments, and is easy to use. Just devote a couple slots to your drums, and the rest to whatever pitched samples you may need (probably fewer than 8 bass notes, maybe a few chords, sampled from your guitar or bass, and so on). It's a good way to work if you're working with a limited palette of sounds and have the means to produce the samples you need.

I'm a beta tester for Sony Acid. the newesgt version is fantastic.... been using acid for years to do electronica..

check out some of my stuff, all done with acid at www.orange-records.com

i make most of my sounds from scratch on hardware synths but use acid for arranging.
