FUCK, I just wrote the fattest reply and accidently hit tab backspace. AARRRRGGGGHH.
Okay in summery this time, you need synths, drum machines, mixing sequencing, recording systems/devices. Samplers are also useful, along with wave editors and fx units.
You can either go with software (cheap), hardware (expensive) or a mixture of the two.
Have a look at a program called Reason, by propellerhead software. Its a total studio package for the computer. All you need is a computer and a sound card (get a good one with latency below 10ms. 24 bit recording is also nice)
You have to decide if you want to use softare or hardware. I would advise starting off with software. Its cheaper and programs like reason are easier to use. If you can't afford reason, have a look for a program like fruity loops.
Becasue I can't be bothered typing everything again, here are some things for you to look up.
Reason 2, propellerhead software
Fruity Loops 3
Cubase SX, Steinberg software
Logic, Emagic software (for mac)
(reason & fruity are studio packages, cubase and logic are VST sequencers)
Soundforge, by Sonic Foundry
Wave Lab, by Steinberg
(these are wave editors)
Softsynths by Native Instruments (have a look at the thread above "best vst instruments"
Hardware synths by:
- Access
- Novation
- Nord
- Waldorf
- Korg
That'll do you for a start.
