I second this... a copy of fruityloops and a cd full of crap samples got me into it all.

You should definitely give it a go Calv - I bet you a tenner you get bitten by the bug and can wave goodbye to the next several years of your spare time.

Problem is that there's an increasingly infinite amount of stuff to learn when you get into it - I feel like I know less about music than when I started trying to make it, and I knew **** all back then. Several years later and I still haven't made one thing I'm happy with but I've enjoyed every minute of working on it so that'll have to do :)
