    Download the demo from Ableton, watch tutorials on youtube and get to know the shit.

    For free, I wouldn't recommend anything. For cheap, I'd recommend Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/. You can evaluate before purchasing.

    That's like asking what car is the best to drive, no definite answer.

    I'd recommend Reaper, though^ just because of the unlimited trial, i like that approach from the devs. That said, if you can afford it, definitely go and buy the license!

    Bear in mind it'll take a lot of time to get to the level, where you actually start producing something listenable, don't expect to know it all overnight.

    First, you need to understand the differences between the software you need.

    What you want is a DAW. A Digital Audio Workstation.

    Audacity is something you will edit sound with, but will not suffice as a DAW.

    You should look into Cubase, Ableton Live or ProTools.

    There are others, like FruityLoops and Reason, but the above 3 are industry standard.

    I started on Rebirth, the Reason, the Cubase and after long last Ableton.

    So..yeah....go research that some!

    Ableton has become more of the industry standard for dance music in the last couple of years. Also the workflow of live is much easier to learn than logic.
