Many people just don’t know where to start with music production. The very first question that you need to ask yourself (and be completely honest about) is your amount of prior experience and pre-existing technical knowledge. The best part about engaging certain digital sequencing applications is the fact that you do need to go out and spend large sums on your hard-earned on external hardware. Everything (with the exception of live vocals) can be done within a single computer. So once the program is installed, you can get started making Dubstep immediately. As mentioned above, it’s really only when you want live vocals and live instruments such as guitars or drums, then you need a complete studio suite and the hardware that comes with it. However, don’t forget that most programs have amazing drum and instrument sounds built in. In conjunction with vocal samples etc., there is almost nothing that can’t be done with the software alone.
