KharBevNor:
First you want to get rid of Ableton and use either Reason or FL studio.

Then you want to buy lots of little boxes. For maximum effect, try and make sure all these little boxes have either 'Korg' or 'Roland' written on them. Remember the more flashing lights and dials the better.

The Korg Electribe MX and Roland DR 880 are good drum machines. A Roland MC-808 and a Kaos Pad are also not bad investments. You will need at least two keyboards and a mixer as well.


Or just use your computer, it's mind bogglingly cheaper.

Why would he do that? If he wants to revert to a dumbed-down excuse for a DAW there are much cheaper solutions to be found.

KharBevNor:
What I'm saying is, this dude appears to have little or no experience with making electronic music, and he wants to start out writing tracks in Ableton Live.

Snobbery aside, do you really think this is the best way he could go about things.

Koremora:
Khar's pretty much got my situation down. I mean, if there's an easier way to start out with this I'm open to suggestions.

Well, if he already HAS the program, it's best to work with what he has than shell out for something new - getting new gear is pricy, and Ableton is too nice a program to leave unused. My first DAW was relatively full-featured and I managed fine - it's just a matter of patience and spending time with the manual. Ableton's accessible to the hobbyist, anyway, so it's not like he's starting out on Max/MSP or something.
