Is there a point? I kinda doubt the fact that person XY uses a piece of gear means that by using the same gear your musical skills miraculously get to person XY's level of expertise.
Whole bloody 'pros use....' mindset is usually employed by those who only pretend to be.

OhmForce, not GMedia.

of course, read:

Cevin Key of Skinny Puppy admits in a quite recent interview he has used Absynth in his latest songs.

Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails says in a very recent interview about his forthcoming album that he has used not only Ohm Force plugins but also Reaktor extensively.

Portion Control also said they used some vst synths in their latest album Wellcome, and they also admitted that the sequencer they used the most is...FL Studio.

Depeche Mode used PPG Wave 2.V (replacing Martin's trademark hardware PPG Wave 2?) and TC|Works Mercury-1 on Exciter. I believe the host they used was Logic.

Erasure used Delay Lama on their version of 'Come Up And See Me', it's unmistakable.

Mike Oldfield is using FL Studio.

oh I forgot: Martin Gore used Reaktor in his latest solo album.

My opinion is that he's so-so, production-wise. He has done a few gems though.

I think Fresh uses Line6 Echofarm, but he states he is "not ready for going completely digital yet", he's rather "after something a bit dirtier".

Herbie Hancock used EVP88 on a tour.

I think I spotted a foto of the Logic Setup on the artwork of LTJ Bukems "Journey Inwards", but I may be wrong.

I think the problem with most famous producers is that they don't take software as a "professional" way to make music.

An even more interesting question would be if there is anyone famous using FREE VST/VSTi plugins. I think most people have a "you get what you pay for" attitude and simply ignore freebies as something inferior...what do you think?

A better name would be:
Anybody famous NOT using VSTis yet?
