Aight dawg.
here's what you need (or can use). A simple all around sollution- A program called Reason. Right now version 3.0 is out at about 450.00 (new) But to save some pennies I'd go with version 2.5 for starters seeing as you can get it for around 2'somthing (200.00) on ebay.com (used not new). You will need a midi controller (piano keyboard). If you don't have one.
But since you only asked about software i'll assume so. The factory sounds that come with Reason will be all you need to do the job. Only thing extra you'll need is a good (2 or 3) 808 drum kits and patience, time, and talent. visit my site
www.vizionrecordings.com to here some of my Reason tracks.
Reason gives you unlimited durm machines, samplers, and synths all in one package (as many as your cpu can handle). Email me for some beat tips, advice, or whatever.
