Acid is about loops. Why shouldn't it be for this list? I found out that
Acid in
a combination with other programs, especially Soundforge and a lot of
plugins,
is the most quick and creative choice for me. I just throw in loops which I
think
could work together. I started making music with Cakewalk then I moved to
Logic.
Now I'm more and more working in Acid. Actually I made the song for
Bluezette
in Acid. Sonic Foundry's products (also Vegas) are the only ones which
enable me
to work in a full duplex mode. But I'm not pro, I could hardly consider
myself as a
musician.
Rennie Pilgrem is on the other hand a pro. The latest nu skool breakbeat 
hit
Black Widow
was made in Acid. And he can afford anything...
I personally don't think the gear makes you a pro. Daft punk made a lot of
sounds
on the yamaha su10 (are there any cheaper and more basic units?). the list
of pros
which used really basic gear is endless...
I've also saw live performances with Acid. Worked fine.
