i use Reason for some internal drum sampling and bass, sometimes I just use Soundforge or Cubase for straight digital recording (multitrack) - but the best set up is the new Mac G4 with ProTools by Digidesign, but its about 11k for the full set up.
Do you have Mac? If so go ProTool, its what they use in all major recording studios across the US.
But if you just plan on doing your own, if you want to multitrack, just grab a copy of Cubase or Cakewalk. If you wanna sample, there are tons of digital samplers out there, but software wise I hear Gigasampler is OK, not many "latency" problems.
Reason by Propellerhead is what I mainly use, once you see it youll need not look elsewhere. Its synths, drum machines , samplers, virtual analog style sequencer with 808 and 909 drums and 1000s of presampled drum sounds.
Ummm, i dont feel like typing more, if you need more ifno let me know. Im more knowledgeable on synths and analog keyboards, but I know some software shit too.
added:
I failed to mention ProTools makes a lower end user module which a friend of mine has and it kicks ass, i think they make it for both Mac and PC, anyway, its $799 its Digidesigns "Digi001" look it up on their site, it tottally rocks, it turns your pc into a 24 track digital recorder with XLR and standard 1/4 male Digital in/outs and 96 bit processing.
