BT's Software Plugins and VSTs
The Camel Audio Artists page lists BT as an avid fan and supporter of the Alchemy synth. He is quoted on the site:
"This is the best synth I have ever used in my entire life. Hard or soft synth, the most elegant, animated, beautiful, evocative synthesizer ever made."
"You can hear Camel Audio software in BT's scores for 'Monster', 'The Underclassman' and 'Stealth'."
"I love ANA, it's Amazing!" On the webpage for ANA Synth, under the Testimonials tab, BT is the fourth-listed artist amongst other famous ANA users.

"ShaperBox is a masterpiece of simplicity of use and complexity of sound. In my daily arsenal."
In a tweet from September 2014, BT heaps praise on the Xfer records Serum software synth. He says, "So just a massive WOW on @SteveDuda 's Serum. This is incredible work man."
BT states on ProjectSAM's testimonial page, "This is amazing. It's a super different, unique and, most importantly, inspiring addition to my orchestral library. It's the most fun thing to play for scoring I've come across. I'm using this on EVERYTHING."
As someone who's known for a painstaking level of detail in their compositions, I'm the last person you'd expect to hear an endorsement from about something that doesn't require coding or patch cables. I must say that NEXUS is one of the most powerful and dynamic softsynths I've ever had the pleasure of using. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

"This is outrageously cool. Insane. Great plugin, going to be super-useful for everyone. I love the ‘making a backbeat bigger’ trick. The trick I mean is setting a wet/dry balance to 50% and making the ‘under loop’ half-time on a backbeat-heavy loop. Makes a MASSIVE snare or clap!!!"
BT endorses HalfTime on the official product webpage, giving the above quote.
Additionally, BT appears in the "In Use By" section of the product video beginning at 2:03: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y9Tr5f1UCo&feature=youtu.be&t=2m3s
BT endorses and uses Cinemorphx, as highlighted by Sample Logic LLC.
As the center of his studio, BT uses M-Audio's Radium61 61-Key USB MIDI Controller to drive his system, complemented by an array of Pioneer Pro DJ gear. He has both a Macintosh G5, running Logic Pro with Digidesign's Pro Tools HD hardware systems, and a G4, allowing him to run older software and hardware interfaces. Additionally, there are multiple AMD Dual-core Opteron computers running Native Instruments' Kontakt 2 with EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choir libraries as well as Quantum Leap Colossus and Stormdrum and Native Instruments' Kompakt. The space is nothing if not versatile. For his score for 2004's "Monster," BT wanted a more organic sound, so vocals, guitars and percussion overdubs were done in various room at his home. For this, he used a variety of mics, some of the many guitars hanging on his wall and Neve microphone preamps.
