If this is the level you are coming in at then I would recommend the mag Computer Music, especially as they often have beginners guide issues, they will be able to specify the minimum needed to get started, and they have free stuff to help get started. I would search for beginners guides on the net, but it could all too easily become a case of info overload, as there are hundreds of ways to make computer music, and millions of opinionated people to tell you that one particular way is best, well its not. Whatever way you find works is the best way, do your research, and make sure you are enjoying it, not doing it coz you feel you have to (my pet hate is DJ's saying they are "getting into production", make music coz you want to/feel you need to). You might not even need a soundcard with Wuschio's ASIO for all prog/drivers.
Its all very confusing, but ace fun and very satisfying, journey on.
