Yeah I use FL Studio It's quite easy to learn and there are lots of free tutorials around. Reason is also good. I suggest you download demos of both (or maybe some other) and try them on your own and see which one works better for you |

A midi keyboard is really helpful for creating melodies. As for software I would recommend some virtual instruments (VST) that will allow you to create some cool sounds. There are many great VST for trance music: Vanguard, Nexus, Massive, Absynth, Blue, Albino, V-Station, z3ta+, and many many more. Some of them are quite expensive, so "try before buy" is a good idea There are also hardware synths, but I don't know much about them As for drum kits (kick drums, hi-hats, snares, crashes etc) I would recommend Vengeance - www.vengeance-sound.comHope this helped you Nige |

Ive been surfing around abit and checking out tutorials and stuff,at the moment FL Studio 8 XXL is at the top of my list cheapest i found up to now is £234.Does that sound about right as for midi keyboards they go from £50 upwards,is that all i need to get me on my way guys? i can handle that much £s thanks guys |

What about the FL Studio Producer Edition? The main difference seems to be the lack of some extra samples. And if you want samples, you should get a sample pack from Vengeance (which are samples specifically for Trance music, I'm not even sure what kind of samples come with the XXL Edition of FL Studio...)
