I love making beats and music. I mainly make dance and trance music, but I have also produced some pop and rap beats. Ive recorded a few bands in the past and some vocal tracks. I also want to try making some dubstep beats but have no idea where to begin!!! Any suggestions?

Also if there are any closet producers or muscial artist. What kinds of equipment or DAWs do you use?

Just in the last year I've starting making my own music. Most of what I've done so far are covers of Animal Collective songs for a project on a forum. I don't own any instruments right now because I moved countries, but I play piano and the alto saxophone. For now I'm just using my laptop, a microphone and Ableton Live. I've done various styles, mostly exerimental/electronic stuff.

As for making dubstep beats, I'm not really into it so I don't know, there are LOADS of tutorials on youtube and other places, and it also depends what software and equipment you have. Most dubsteps producers probably use Fruity Loops.
