HOW I GOT STARTED
I started producing when i was 16, on a game called "Music" on the playstation 2. It was a very simple sequencer with pre-made patterns and loops that you could re-arrange to build your own songs. From this i developed a very basic knowledge of arranging songs.
After i got my first PC, i got a copy of Dance Ejay which was a bit more advanced than Music, but still quite basic in music production terms. Never-the-less, it was a nice stepping stone for me and allowed me to further experiment with sounds and see what i could do. I wish i still had copies of the tunes i made back then as they would be good for a laugh.
Serious improvement started to come when i discovered FL Studio, or Fruityloops as it used to be known. It has come along way since i first started using it back in 2000, and it is what i still use today.
I have dabbled with Logic, Cubase, Reason, Ableton and various hardware components over the years but i always come back to FL Studio and just a bunch of samples and software synths that i have gathered over the years.
FL gets some flack for whatever reason, probably because it's priced cheaply, but most producers know that it's not what you use, it's how you use it that matters. I stick by that and most people are still shocked i use FL today and re impressed by the quality i get out of it (it's all in the plugins and practice!)
