Do some research. It helps. Go to your local music equipment retailer and sit there all day. That's what most folks did in the beginning.
Many Blessings on your endeavour.

first do a big search on this forum and you will find the answer to your question, also do what producer x said to do i used to do that shit, on a saturday morning i would go to railroad bazzar and sit their and chill and play with all the tritions, korg karma, and what nots, and just go through all the sound banks mess with mixers and every thing just so i can get the feel of diffrent stuff, after floopin my mind so many times on diffrent equipment i finnaly found out what i want, so pretty much do your research see what you wanna make, do you want to sample, or should i compose or should i do both, consider what is my budget, should i go with software to save money, its a shit load of options, you just got to way them out and see what best fits your style.

you don't need anything...most equipment is able to complete an entire track...like Reason, Fruityloops, any MPC..etc. I'd suggest starting w/ a "producer in a box" type setup and eventually specialize...

watever you want i just hope you have alot of $$$ cuz this shit aint cheap at all its kinda like buying your first car you could probably get your self moving with $500 and that 500 could last you long depending how deep you wanna get into it .
Anyways good luck with what you do grab

I agree sorta. The only costly peice of equipment I'm coppin (thanks to tax returns) will be the MPC2000xl definitely. Besides that, I'll get dat Numark turntable for 100 bucks, tight setup with FL and I hsould be good. however; there are those beasts of machine's we all need (i.e. MV8000, Roland Fantom X5, etc.)

First you need to figure out a budget and then what you want to incorporate into your production. Are you going to be sample based? Composing your own ish off of keyboards and synths? Or a combination of both?

Right now I roll with the MV-8000, the M-Audio 49e keystation and a Technic 1200 turntable. This set up gives me the best of both worlds. I can sample or use .mvo patches to compose ish like I had a Triton or Fantom X.

If you go the software route make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements.

Some kats have a lot of success with software. I spent like 2 years trying to get me a setup but I kept running into problems and although kats are making banging ish off them I prefered using something that was specifically designed to make music.
