title says it all. basically I'm looking to get into music production (specifically hip hop, but other genres as well), and I am basically completely new to this. from what i've gathered so far from looking through different websites and options, i have some knowledge of what I am looking for, but i think he need some help from people who I can speak to myself. Any suggestions on where I should start? I am looking for a good accessible DAW for beginners (preferably already loaded with an extensive sound bank), and for hardware I am looking for direction.

If I am completely new to production, should I go with a full production unit (MPC, Maschine, etc.) or just a MIDI controller (ex. MPD) to use with my computer. Would an MPC provide more functionality? Better workflow? Does an MPD provide less functionality? Does it limit what I can do as a beginner?
