traktor is nice for djing and scaleable - if you eventually go with final scratch, you can use it together. so there is true value there. Go for that with DJing.

Also, Reason is easier to get your hands dirty than fruityloops I think. I know a friend of a friend who uses fruity or did and it's got it's strengths but I wouldn't reccomend it unless you are already attracted to it for a specific reason.

as far as everything else goes, i have no real opinion. Ableton live for playing live, although a bit typical, is probably the best option... reason 3 is really unstable even on good computers.. I wouldn't really suggest using it in a live environment if you can help it.

Oh, and grab yourself a waveform editor. it'll come in handy. Audacity is free

hardware debate i'll leave up to the rest o' the people

The microkontrol has crappy digital encoders instead of real knobs. It's a nice piece of kit, but that aspect of it is very poorly executed.

i'd stick to m-audio axiom or cme pro keyboards and controllers. both top for the money!
