yeah and make sure it is the pro tools version of fruity loops.

yeah beats by dr dre might not be high end enough though for making beats... however for listening to them after those would be the best.

As far as headphones, its going to boil down to what you want to spend.

at one point or another none of us could. I started off with a lot of broken, hand me down, garbage can thrift store sh*t. It takes time. This is one of those things where you cant let the price always get in the way because initially everyone pours tons of cash into this and rarely does anyone see a return on it.
