Reply to What things should I get as a starting producer?

Hey, you've probably seen my past threads asking which midi controller/keyboard to buy and might be believeing that these are one of those threads. But thankfully this isnt the case.

I've decided that instead of wasting my money getting a piece of hardware that I probably dont need yet wouldnt help me at all if I dont learn the software yet so I've opted out of getting any type of controller until I'm more confident in the software and can figure out what I will need to help my work flow.

I've already decided that I'm going to buy Ableton Live 9 Suite as my DAW of choice however the rest of the things I get are up in the air as to the order in which I should purchase them. I do not have the money to get them all at once and would each most likely need a months time before purchasing the next thing. This is where I need your help on which things would be most necessary/useful for me to produce with.

1. Ableton Live 9 Suite
?. KRK Rokit 6 G2 (2 of them)
?. A new desk to use for my workspace (my current one is rather tiny and only about 24 inches long)
?. NI Massive
?. Soundcard (I dont know anything about soundcards nor do I know what do they do or which one to get, help?)
?. Upgrade my laptop to a MacBook Pro


After Ableton, what order do you believe I should get the rest of the stuff? Also I need help on the soundcard as I stated earlier in this post. Thanks
