you said you have fruityloops. Ok. Lock yourself in a room with it and some samples for a year and come out. Till then that'll do just fine! (it's not nothing btw, it nothing short of a full fledged sequencer by now)

I agree, use what you have.

Start messing with FL and learn some basics from it. Then when you've got FL down, start getting into other programs like ACID 4.0 and Reason 2.0. With those three programs you should easily be able to make techno/trance songs.

Yep.

Add WaveLab/CoolEdit/Some other wave editor and some mastering plugins and you have everything you'll need

buy a 2nd hand (virtual) analog synth with a lot of knobs, you'll learn a lot from it
