oh, i'm sure.  :)  but as those programs tend to be regarded as
amateurish by most music critics (when they even know about them), most
artists will simply shut up about their use.  don't get me wrong, i
think they're wonderful programs.  i don't know how much my opinion
weighs on this balance, but i've never composed a single electronic song
that wasn't done on rebirth, fruity loops, hammerhead (rarely), impulse
tracker (long ago), cool edit, sound forge, acid, etc.

rebirth + nothing = fun as well, but it just gets boring after a while.
