Try Reason and if you like producing/are good at it then upgrade to better software like Cubase SL and a couple of good vst's.

You need a computer and a bucket of creativity.

I started with eJay about 10 years ago. I then upgraded to FL Studio (http://www.flstudio.com). No need to upgrade from FL Studio. It'll cover ALL your needs until you are a _PRO_. So, that's 5 - 6 years ahead in time if you work with you music alot.
FLStudio is also "cheap" compared to other music software. There's also a TON of FL tutorials out there for beginners. Personally I've tried and tested, and that have paid of. I can do some really advanced things with that program.

This forum is great for asking about all those small things you're wondering about. "How do I get my kick to sound like the pros?". If you search this forum you'll find a couple of great threads telling you how to.

It's wise to just start around playing, just making melodies and not thinking about quality. It comes gradually, unless you go to a specific music school where you learn to produce.

Welcome to the world of production. It'll bring you lot's of joy and fun!

Corteoz is correct, FL Studio is a great place to start. I got that program and started making stuff, absolutely no experience and actually was able to make sounds. You cant do that with the higher end, more expensive stuff! One thing that is important to do is look through the Channel Presets on the left and drag some 3x Osc presets into your song, then right click and open up the piano roll. That will get you started. Took me a little while to figure that out. Hope this helps...

If you would like to hear some of the stuff I have made with it, go to my soundclick site -HERE- and have a listen starting from the bottom. You can hear my gradual improvement as I learned the program.

I've been working on a track for quite a while, everything sounds good, but the vocals which are way off.... so
What should I do to make them sound right (in place) with the track.
How can I change the tempo on the vocals? Original tempo is 120bpm, want it to be 134bpm!
I'm using Logic 7, and Reason 3.3.
Cheers
