What is some of the best affordable hardware and software for producing music? I just want a basic starter kit that will help me get to know the basics. I only want the absolute essentials for now.

1Can you elaborate on what skills you have already, and what kinds of music you want to make? That would help for a recommendation. For example, if you play guitar, I wouldn't tell you to go out and buy a MIDI keyboard, or if you want to make techno music I might not tell you to get an MPC.– Aidan MilesFeb 4, 2015 at 16:52

Look into a guy who runs the recording revolution channel on youtube (he also has a website with the same name). He has tons of great articles on this topic, as well as training on how to use it!– skids89Feb 7, 2015 at 5:49

For software, check out DAWs like Tracktion and Reaper.
For hardware, take a look at the AudioBox USB audio interface.
If you're wanting to record MIDI and have a synthesiser that supports the interface, Yamaha UX16.
