What's on your hard drive?

While MusicRadar is always keen to take a tour round a pro’s studio, we’re well aware that many contemporary producers are now primarily software-based.

With this in mind, our friends at Computer Music magazine are frequently asking artists to name their absolute favourite music software, and if you click on, you’ll find a regularly updated gallery that contains links to their responses.

Note that the artists/producers are listed in alphabetical order (either the first letter of the band name or the artist’s surname).
