I've been playing music with bands (Drums, guitar and bass) since I was in grade school. Over the past several years I have played less and less frequently, so to cure my creative withdrawals, I recently began composing everything right here on my comp. So far I have been using MIDI/Vst's mainly with some good results, but I still have a lot to learn, especially with mixing/mastering.

Drums, guitar, bass, piano/keyboard. The drums are by far my best and main live instrument, but I am decent enough at the others to comfortably jam, compose, or fill in at a performance.

Acid pro and ton of VST's thus far.

A mouse..which is why it takes me like 30 frustrating hours to draw out a song in acid's midi piano roll.
Getting a USB midi keyboard as soon as possible, my hand can't take much more click/dragging.

Been listening to a lot of Bowie lately.. mostly his post 80's stuff. Check out the Heathen album if you haven't yet, some good tracks to be found there.

Richard D. James
Chopin
Nobuo Uematsu
Liam Howlett
David Bowie

A bit like Prodigy, but usually a tad darker(minors/dissonance) with more ambient qualities. Varies greatly from song to song however due to my love and past performing knowledge of most music genre's.
