here what angerfist uses
Funny, this thread has always stuck in my head for some reason, lord knows why.
Anyway....
From the man himself:
I still use Cubase today, with mostly VST plugins. My favorite plugins are Z3ta+, Sylenth1, Drumazon, Microtronic and the UAD DSP-Card. The only real hardware I use is a Virus TI snow for those nasty screech sounds.
A UAD DSP Card is just a soundcard really, with some inputs (for his Virus I guess)... I wouldn't go out and buy a Virus TI snow if I were you, unless you have a spare €1200
Pretty basic setup.
ripped out of an interview with him here:
http://theharderview.com/interview-angerfist-the-netherlands/
you can see in this video at 3:32 that he is using an AKAI APC40 and Ableton LIVE to play live... but perhaps he just uses that to play live, a lot of producers do, actually 'play' live is a bit of an over statement for Ableton... launch loops live is closer, in the mode he has it in in that video anyway... heh.

Think thats his setup busted wide open, hth :D...
Perhaps now this thread will stop hanging around in my mind.
Oh, almost forgot, have a look at the new Masters of Hardcore Producers Tips Website, only 2 tutorials on there so far, one from Outblast on making a overdriven kick in Cubase and one from Accelerator on making the screech Angerfist is talking about using a softsynth.
