 Coolness: 201925 | mac, logic audio, good soundcard, midi controller, studio monitors, some au/vst synths = win.
Don't bother getting hardware synths unless you play live (in non-techno setting) Cubase + PC's are fine if they don't overheat and die. Pirate VST's will make your shit unstable if you aren't careful. Pirate VST's + Pirate Cubase = unstable hell |

| Coolness: 201925 | For me it's not worth losing even 1 hour of work for music.. In an hour I can write the drums, bassline, and main melody of a tune.. One of the reasons I stopped using buzz (it's free but not stable) |

 Coolness: 88275 | If you're going the software route to begin with, there's not much use really in buying a really good soundcard. When you're using VSTs, the sound is made "inside" the machine and has no relation with the soundcard in your computer, except for your audio output which gives you an idea of what you're doing, but in all reality, if you wanted, you could produce a whole track, all in software, with no soundcard at all! However, if you are going to record any kind of sound from outside your computer, then you absolutely need a decent sound card.
You're probably better to invest your cash at first in good monitors, because they are more likely to have an impact on the quality of the productions you will make. Also, good monitors will last you a while and are one of the only pieces of equipment that you will still be happy to have around even if you stop producing, because good speakers actually have a use aside from producing with. |

| Coolness: 201925 | built-in sound in most computer's sucks. Some of them have latency problems also (macs have less and most pc's don't if you use ASIO4ALL though, if they still make that). It's good to at least have something with good stereo in and out, and mic/intrument pre-amps are also good to have, even if you don't plan on using them right away. 1/8 out on most systems is pretty weak. |

| Coolness: 74790 | basically around 300$ you will have a external sound card that is NOT m-audio, that won't break, that will have the output you need for monitors, a input for a mic, and you won't have latency issues |

 Coolness: 510260 | it's a combination, you need basic hardware for a bare bones studio, but vsts are good enough, hardware synths and fx, as sick as they are, aren't even remotely attainable for a beginner, think about SERIOUS hardware if you're rich |

Get whatever makes you feel the most creative, something that makes you want to make music. I can't stand the software only route though, if I were you I'd invest in a decent midi-controller, a sound-card and a good pair of headphones, dl a sequencer and some vsts and start with that. Then through research and experimentation you'll figure out what you need. I honestly have anxiety attacks if I have to do everything with a mouse and a keyboard, but everyone is different. With a keyboard or midi controller you have the opportunity to be more hands on. |

Well you need at least a good playback with a decent D/A converter |
