for the absolute rock bottom prices compare proces at musicioansfriend.com and samedaymusic.com

and for beat making i recommend FlStudio 4.0, Sound Forge 7.0 for mastering, and Acid Pro 4.0 for chopping. Also I like to use flstudio as an acid pro plugin as well.

but yes there are a million questions like this. search the forum first next time. I left this up because your initial question was a good one.
