How do you make your own techno songs?

[JoNeS]

What equiptment / software do I need to make my own techno songs. I'm looking for something that can produce a billion different sounds, and then I'll make my own beats with those sounds.

Then once I have the beats I want to over lap them with different beats/sounds. And record them to make my own techno songs.

Anyone with exp? What kinda equipt and software will I need?

The dude in your avatar has floating head syndrome like a motherfucker...I drum my fingers on my desk, sometimes I'll drum a techno beat.

I like Reason, it's very complete and you don't have to spend a year learning how to use it. You have different machines there ..
Are you aware that making electronic music is quite difficult, aren't you?

Reason 2.0 is good, not the last version nor the best program though, but you can find it easily in the net. I would say you to use the IRC bots to download it. ~2Gb.
You can only get the manual before downloading all the program. PDF ~300 pages, after reading it you will be able to use Reason, but it doesn't mean that you will make like whole album in a week time. (Or maybe you are gifted and you manage to do it!)
Reason for me is like the book "Rayuela" from Cortazar, I have tried like 4 times, never succeeded.

Acid Pro like Jbox said, is a good program to start off with. It's pretty self explanatory. Snoop around the net for different drum sounds and loops if you don't want to make your own. Fruity loops is probably the simplest for loops, but you are limited with the sounds (unless you import different ones). You can export FL loops into acid and get some orignal sounding stuff once applying some different filters to it. Also, if you have a guitar/bass/keyboard/harpsichord, get a mixer and connect it to your computer via a line-in cord to your sound card. That way you can record straight into Acid, not sure if you can with reason. BTW I prefer Acid 1.0, you can slice up loops easier.
