What music making program do techno artists use?

Q. What kind of music making software do techno artists like MSTRKRFT, Bloody Beetroots, Daft Punk, Justice and others use to make their music? I know there is FL Studios but I'm sure there are others. I'm just curious, let me know.

A. you can use what ever you want as most of these people are using samples.

CUBASE & PRO TOOLS Is the Multi track mixing desk recording and mastering soft wear that links all your FX, MIDI synths, & external hard wear.

But these programs have virtual soft wear that replicates hard wear from drum machines & synths. EXCELLENT but pricey soft wear.

There are also endless plug ins you can get these days the list is endless.... So start off with good recording soft wear if your planning to work on your home pc.... PLUS GET THE BEST SOUND CARD YOU CAN AFFORD

What are the requirements in getting a job in the Computer engineering field?

Q. Can someone tell me the requirements for getting a job in software programming, software developing, and computer hard ware engineering and the amount of money they make yearly on average? Where are the job opportunities in these field of computer engineering available in the Bay Area of California or somewhere near the Bay Area.

A. Sergio and Malica have provided excellent answers on your question. They are trusted answerers and they have given you an accurate picture of educational requirements and salary expectations and I agree with their numbers and statements.

I will take a different tack and tell you a few attributes of successful software developers. I asked a small group of developers what common attributes they saw in software developers. The reason I wanted this list originally was to help people interested in Computer Science and Programming to have some idea of is they fit into the normal profile for this career or not. I find a lot of people select Computer Science as a major and career only to find that they don't enjoy it or are just not gifted at it. Their failing has nothing to do with a lack of intelligence.

This list was compiled from a group of three very gifted software development co-workers who work at the highest levels in their fields:

Musical talent
Detail oriented
Thinks in terms of modules steps or sequencing
Math is important â but even more logic
A talent in building physical things like Legos
You might have a messy desk but you can easily find things on it
Creative
Not highly sociable (small group of friends)
Not highly interactive in group discussions
Obsessive Compulsive
Bulldog tenacity in completing what they begin
Lose all sense of time while completing tasks
Has intense focus on hobbies and/or games
Passionate about the work they produce
Pursue knowledge (in depth) to master challenges or to form a solution

Best Wishes!

Where is the best place to take a computer programming course?

Q. I am looking to learn how to create desk top applications and other such useful tools. I have a fairly decent programming background having taken Fortran, Basic, C++ back in school as well as having read about Java. I know the basics, but I want to learn how to actually produce an end product.

Where is the best place to learn how to do this? I am thinking of taking some classes in the evenings or on weekends, but I am wide open to suggestions. Where should I search for these?

Thanks.

A. The best place to do this is obviously at a renowned four-year university, like MIT, Berkeley, or Stanford. However, you sound like you'd like to get this done in your spare time, in which case an evening class might be a good place to start. However, these classes often focus on programming, in which you seem to have a good amount of experience. Thus, a software engineering class would be preferable. I'd imagine some community colleges might offer these programs. Some four-year universities like the Universities of California have "extension" systems, whereby someone who isn't enrolled can still take classes.
Finally, if these options fail, you can just look at some slides from a software engineering course at a renowned university. I'll list Berkeley's course home pages as a source; look at CS 169 for software engineering lecture slides. One problem with this approach is that you miss the projects, which are pretty clearly the most important part of software engineering: actually building software, and doing so in a team. Unless you can get a job in which you'll be creating software, and as part of a team, your only chance for verifiable experience of this type is in a college course.
I've also linked my previous Yahoo Answer as a source for this one... In my answer there, I briefly (well, relatively briefly) describe the Software Engineering process I learned.
