Hi I'm New Here! Lol. I Was Just Wondering What Software Producers Use? I Know That Joey Riot Uses Cubase SX3 Rewired With Reason, But Does Anybody Know What Any Other DJs Use?

Cubase, Logic (mac), FL Studio and Reason are the most common ones. If you're wanting to start up check out the sticky topic at the top of the production forum on this site!

Again, look through the production forum for your answer. The software in question would be software synthesisers and there is 1000s available. You can also use a hardware synth but best wait till you have some knowledge first because they don't come cheap!

Hi! Do you really have the patience to capitalize every single word? ;)
Broadly speaking, you can get sounds from two sources: sampling and synthesis. Bulby has already told you about the latter. As for sampling, the most common approach is to use 3rd party samples from sample CDs or DVDs. You can also get them (free or paid) from thousands of websites or just make your own (a crappy microphone + lots of imagination = zillions of crazy samples) and process them afterwards.
Good luck!

Not a standard set of tools to use... One thing i do use always is a couple of distortion plugs. Either sequencing program will do the trick. Just have to figure out what works best for you. In the end its about how u use it, about how u process ur sounds and ofcourse to make original new stuff.
Good hard kicks are best make yourself for example. Aint really a good hardcore kickdrum pack out as far as i know. Tips always welcome ofcourse. Just get some clean kicks with a good decay and experiment with distorions, filters, eq's, reverbs. Also layering multiple kicks can give excellent results. one for the punch and one for the decay. Make sure they are pitched the same though and a good compressor can really boost things up also.
That is if you are looking to produce your own stuff. What dj's use is another thing. Really only one answer for that. Dj's SHOULD use 2 turntables and a mixer :P
My advice if you're new to music production is to start with something like fruityloops. Maybe best to start with an older version, like version 5. Its easier to get started in then for example cubase/nuendo, wich requires more knowledge of basic midi and such. And along you get more experienced it has most of the features the bigger programs have to offer.
Anyways if u need some help drop me a PM or something.
Good luck
