*'''What kind of hardware and mixing software do you use to compose your songs?:''' As to the sequencing software, I use Cubase and for recording, I mostly use Pro Tools.

I also use VIRUS by Access (my favorite) and A50000, a sampler by YAMAHA. 90% of my tracks are created by these three machines. | *'''What kind of hardware and mixing software do you use to compose your songs?:''' As to the sequencing software, I use Cubase and for recording, I mostly use Pro Tools.

*'''When you are making a song, do you ever think about what some of the steps might be like or do you already know from the beginning that this song is going to be designed to be a difficult song for players, etc?:''' As to Beatmania tracks, I create them while having some thought on the music notes in my mind.
