what software to download for what im planning

[paris]

Im brand new to making dubstep tunes but have had very limited experience with different recording software through family and bands i have played with and have picked up that some are better than others and are used very differently. Im wanting to record filthy dubstep with huge drops and incorporate strange everyday sounds and live metal drumming (through a trigger) and vocals aswell as doing slower funky tunes aswell. Hardware that i currently have is my macbook 13", sure sm58, drum kit and im planning on picking up different old and new synths and keyboards. What im looking for info on is firstly, software that will work well with what im wanting to do. Im also looking into getting a small mixer and drum mics if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

-get a usb mixer, I doubt you have enough inputs sorted with your computer as it is, this combines your interface with mixer (maybe yamaha?)

-get the shure drum mic set( fairly cheap but does the job)

-cubase as your daw? (good for recording and production work)

Hey macc, can you put this in your next mastering movie?

software doesn't make the tunes.

if you really want to work with a ton of audio, go protools.

if you're working with mics, especially multiple mics, then good circuitry (either via a mixer or preamps) and analog-to-digital conversion will make a HUGE difference. to start on a budget, the mackie onyx range isn't bad at all.

shure mics for drums (beta 52 on kick, beta 57 or sm57 on snare, 57's on toms and then some condenser overheads) are always a decent starting point.
