start by asking this question in the right forum 
If you really wanted to be basic and cheesy, and get the general idea of how to structure tunes/beats then try a ejay program then move onto something like fruity loops.
Wouldent advise ejay, but it will show you how to structure tunes properly and then take it from there using alot more advanced software.

yeah FL can do everything + its easy to learn... From the beginning FL was being laughed at because of its silly name (Fruity Loops), which gives it a amateurish feeling... For the next version (6) they really should come up with a whole new name to be taken seriously (by the pro's)
Which is why it is now called FL STUDIO, you prize prick

Its very ahrd to choose which stuff to start out with cuz there is soooo much out there toi choose from.
The best advice I can offer is to try out all the stuff that you are curious about for a while, then choose the tools you are comfortable with, and spend a lot of time to master those things.
Lots of people seem to act like there is only FL, vsts and then the expensive stuff like logic and cubase. But there is sooo much more out there that remains largely ignored.
I'd say start off with mastering a song arrangement program, work hard at it until you are really good and if you aren't satisfied then learn a different one. After than I suggest getting aquantied with some sort of sound design stuff.
My choices for these things so far have been renoise andaudiomulch, but I change my mind all the time.
Get FL Producer 5 comes with some decent stuff inbuilt and then just download loads of samples!
And then your off
Yeah Fruity Loops was a pretty funny name, my friends would ask what was I doing and I would be like using Fruity loops, and they'd laugh at me.

I started out with Fl Studio, pretty easy to get going and creating sounds. I used some of the commom vsts, vangaurd, albino, z3ta, reaktor and played around creating simple leads/pads/melodies. Like many have said download some qaulity samples, kicks,hihats,percs. Sit down and play around, experiment,only way your going new the program.
Like other threads have said, sit down and listen to song, learn the structure
Thats my wonderful advice for a newbie
why is everyone saying FL?
I know nothing about prosucing, but I'm starting with Reason
Is Reason not the way to go?
There's nothing wrong with reason or Fl, People will argue both sides basically its just wantever your comfortabe with. I started with FL just becuase its easily available, now that I have been using it for a long time, just dont and have the time or reason the learn something new.
Fruity is much easier to learn than reason imo and its cheaper
I meen if you got FL5 it comes with Styrus which you can create some good leads and very nice pads to
Just get FL5

FL? Reason? Why do these programs seem to be the only production tools in existence?
Get creative. Use whatever tool you feel necessary. It doesn't matter whether it's burying yourself in a studio racked up with expensive equipment, a pc running some overused (and overpriced) soft-synths, or recording yourself smashing a tin can with a stick.
As long as the sound is what you want...
