OK, so a lot of bands are using the Mac to make music nowadays, but which one is your favorite? You can find a list of famous Mac users here (http://www3.bc.sympatico.ca/greenacres/macusers.htm).


As much as I love Tori Amos and Radiohead, I'd have to say that I think Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails uses the Mac in the best way. He knows how to do all sorts of awesome hacking, and he's probably the biggest Apple fanboy in the industry :P

What about you? Also, extra points if you talk about how they use the Mac in their music. ;)

Trent Reznor, he got me into using computers for music back when I had my LCIII. Read about him using macs for music in a US music mag whilst on my hols.

Mogwai

Back when I saw them live when they were touring in support of Mr. Beast, they had a PowerBook on stage, but I couldn't tell you what they were using it for. Well, I'm sure they were using it for loops and such since their music is so dense, but I couldn't exactly get a look at the screen to see what was on there. :p

Agreed with both Mogwai and NIN.

65daysofstatic, however, are just leagues ahead of both.

Radiohead and Junior Boys. Plus some others, but I can't recall what bands are all using Macs. Most are, probably.
