Hi list,

I've been listening to a lot of trance music lately via Shoutcast. I've always 
been fascinated by this genre of music. There are so many layers and textures 
of sounds. I can see why people go to parties and dance their---uh, butts off.

I just looked up a popular DJ--Paul Van Dyk--after listening to an epic live 
set of his on Trance Online Radio. It blew my mind it was so good!

This is a quote from Wikipedia, so I don't know how accurate it is, but:

In some gigs, he was utilizing two 17" MacBook Pro laptops sporting Mainstage 
(Logic 8 Pro) and Ableton Live software on both, and two MIDI keyboards.

My main question--what do those pieces of software do? Second, why TWO 
computers and TWO midi keyboards?

Are there any techno/trance/electronic enthusiasts out there? Can Sonar do any 
of the tricks that the other software can?

If I can think of any more questions, I know where to go!

Take care,
Chelsea
