I am interested in creating music and would love to start creating more again. However, I don't have much software. I am mostly interested in electronic music, and don't really see the possibility of the need to use real instruments. Therefore, can anyone recommend a decent starting point. I have heard of a software program called Reason. Would this be seen as the best piece of software for an electronically focused musician ?
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Wow, this is all so complicated! I spent a few days looking around, and my head is spinning. There are sequencers, synths, midi interfaces, VST plug-ins, and a whole lot of other stuff! I am going to simplify what I asked about last time. EVENTUALLY I would like to create my own music and then add my voice doing hypnotic relaxation inductions. But as everyone has told me, adding the audio makes things more complicated. So, for now, I want a unit that is expandable for the future but for the time being I just want to create some fairly simple ambient type music. Will I wanting a midi interface to accomplish this? I really am not 100% sure what they do. Will I want to pieces of soft, one sequencer and one synth, or is a combo package OK? So a new round of suggestions for software, please. Money is not THE major consideration, but I do not have money to burn either.
Thanks for any and all help.
