Great stuff, man. You are front-and-center on my site, highly recommended. Hope it gets you a little traffic. Will probably take you up on your offer to slice and dice your beat, but I'm just learnin'. What software do you use?
 

Thanks for the kind words. What's your site? I'd like to check it out.

Feel free to submit any and all remixes and I'd be happy to post them on the site.

To answer your question about software, I use 2 programs mainly: Acid and Live.

This particular track was composed entirely in Sony Acid (formerly by Sonic Foundry). Acid is a good program in terms of ease of use and how quickly you can produce songs. It is very intuitive and easy to cut up loops visually using the mouse and drag-and-drop. So, for that reason, I like composing in Acid and still use it regularly.

That being said, I also really like Ableton Live. Whereas Acid is a lightweight, easy to use multitracker, Live has a bit more of a learning curve but is very powerful and unique as multitrack recording programs go. It also has robust sequencing abilities and better support and implementation of MIDI and VST instruments than Acid, in my opinion. So Ableton Live is a very powerful program that has a lot of interesting features, though it takes some getting used to.

I would recommend Acid for making songs that are primarily audio-based (that is, recordings rather than sequenced electronic arrangements, virtual instruments and MIDI tracks). Acid is great for recording a few audio tracks and visually editing them. It's very easy to use and quite a joy to quickly make songs using copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop type functionality. But, if you really want a robust sequencer for long-term use (and especially well-suited for electronic music), go for Ableton Live. It's all you'll ever need for a multitrack recorder and sequencer.
