The run down-
Reason 2.5 (ofcourse)
Acid 5.0 with vst plug-ins !!
Native Instruments
Sound forge 7
and whatever gear I can sample..
CD disk of 400 sound effects for 10 dollars- its amazing what you can do to everyday sounds with alittle EQ and tweaking.
whos producing
so cubase sx become un-popular at this time. I really love it, but i seem to be one of few people working with it on this forum. Anyway, wanna begin? try Reason, also i heard some good stuff about and from Fl studio, but i refused to work with it 4 years ago or so and lost track of it since, back then it was still crappy. But try different platforms, but don`t start with ableton or cubase sx, too many functions and sh*t.
I like FL Studio, but I didn't really like the (VST) plugins that came with it. I suppose with some better plugins and/or hardware, I'd choose FL Studio over Reason. Why? I think FL Studio's sequencer is much more user friendly. FL Studio is also MUCH cheaper than other sequencing software...Unless you're talking Jeskola Buzz, which is free.
But as has been said, Reason is a great program for beginners. I'm a beginner myself and it's a great program to experiment with, and get nice sounding results fast.
For those who are interested, Jeskola Buzz can be found here:

It's a completely free program that uses it's own type of plugins as well as VSTs. There are tons of free plugins available, some of them pretty good. The trade-off is that it has a very minimal interface, making patterns works quite like the old tracker programs. I experimented with it for a while, but because of its minimal interface I found it too hard to get nice results.
I think FL Studio also accepts Buzz plugins
