I am really curious. I know venetian snares is known to use a tracker, but is that standard? How is so much complex beauty accomplished?

All different sorts. Their isn't really one type of software they use. A lot of them like using analog equipment.

Aphex Twin(although he does use software as well) Squarepusher like to play real instruments and then tweak them later
I know a lot of IDM artists have used Native Instruments although I'm not sure if that's so true now.
I know the Boards of Canada like a mixture of analog equipment and real instruments.

interesting. How do they get so many different glitches. There is no way they sit and program each little one. I do know that much.

I know that Aphex Twin programmed his own equipment and was also into circuit bending and stuff like that.
I'm sure the vast majority of IDM artists use a lot of different equipment and software to get their sounds.

ok. Damn, I want to be able to get such diverse beats. I have tried hand programming and got about 30 seconds worth of track in one hour.

Uh huh, it's a lot of work. Most modern bands are more software oriented. You could try reason or pro tools if you haven't already.

Meh, I have been rocking the Cubase for a few years. I have reason, but it does not seem to do anything exciting that cubase does not.

To get all those crazy sounds purely by automation you would have a clusterfuck of lines all over the place. 1000's

I spent my first 3 years of programming on FL, it is ok. I still far more prefer cubase. Unless FL has changed since I have used it, it seemed more eye candy to me than an intricate sequencer.
Middleman, can you possibly pass on some wisdom to me in the ways of triggered delays?

OOO I just downloaded a VST glitcher application. MUCH easier than hand programming.

Ventian snares use Renoise
All pros use different combos of software depending on what they know, learnt/prefer.
Logic Protools Cubase Reason Fruity loops
With todays computer tech and available software hardware synths are no longer required.

Yeah all of the software mentioned and also keyboards/synths (while not necessary, they are very helpful), samplers, and microphones to record your own sounds.
With all of the effects and tools in ableton, reason, cool edit and cubase combined with a keyboard you can make wonderful idm.
It can be hard to create the exact sound you want to, which is what catches me up a lot of times because I only have learned so much about the machines in the program. The more familiar you get with the machines though, the more you can do!
