Hello all,

My name is Craig and I've just recently signed up to the forums as I'm looking around for tips and guides on how to start creating electronic music (I was told to come here from another site).

Basically I'm in my early 20's and since a young teen I've wanted to create my own music (electronically) but never had the funds or knowledge of what I will need and a guide on how to start off.

My main question really is in regards of what I will actually need to start me off? My idols are those of; Avicii, David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia so would like to make music styles towards their genre.

I have asked around on what equipment I will need and I'm being told different things every time. Some say all I need is a DAW such as Fruity Loops, Ableton, Live etc whilst others say I need other equipment as well as the DAW.

So basically if someone could give us a hand on taking my first step into this hobby and could explain what I will need and why etc.

Any information or direction into the right path would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Craig.
