Ok this question might sound a bit complicated for people who are not involved in the seb industry, I'll give it a shot anyway!
How does the process of creating all those wonderfull synthesizer melodies work?
Does each alias has its own group of musicians? I mean, for example: The musicians who work for giancarlo, are they the same who work for Tomas and any other abeatc songs?

Er... Not sure I understand the question, but I'll give it a shot from what I know.

Combination of live input into the computer and just input into the computer. The lines can be played in, and then edited to sound nicer (quantizing, velocity editing, a bad note played).

The actual sounds depends a lot on the writer/producer. Newfield seems to use a smaller set of sound sources, but each source produces a larger variety of sounds. On the other hand, I know SCP has a nice collection of sound modules, beefed up with a variety of soft-synths.

With determining the actual line, again, it can be very different. The most common seems to be a variation on the chorus, or the chorus' chord progression, but again that's a really big generalization. It depends on each song.

Hope this helped a bit.

Thanks for the explanation Mika! Do you know if each song, I mean all those cool eletronic beats are They composed by the same groups of musicians, no matter with which vocalist they work for?

You addressed A-Beat C in your original statement; here's what little I know.

Since A-Beat C has three studios, some vocalists work with certain people out of common basis. Such as, Tomas Marin works with Sandro Olivia and Gincarlo Pasquini constantly (as writers and produers). Now, you asked about musicians. I think only the producers can answer that. I would assume (I stress assume) there's a good possibilty that if the vocalists' work at the same studio, they'll be using the same musicians.

Hope that helped.... a bit.

Er, well, again, it depends on the studio producing it.

I know for SCP it's pretty much all Stefano and Christian for all songs. I was there when they were working on the arrangment for Vivi - Just For Me, and for the synth section it was either Stefano humming out a melody that Christian put in, or Stefano at the comp and keyboard himself.

Not sure how it works at other studios, but pretty much just look at the writer and producer credits. For HRG's cds, the only "musician" credit given is the guitarist, and I'm pretty sure with SCP the only non-writer/producer/singer "musician" is a guitarist. Eurobeat isn't exactly the most live-performance-friendly genre out there.
