Reply to Getting started with production

Hey guys I've been DJ-ing for almost a year now with CDJ's and a Pioneer mixer (I'm also going to buy a VCI-100 SE this summer) but I'm really interested in music production as well.

Any advice on how to begin my music production career?

For gear I was believeing:
- An Oxygen 8
- APC-40
- Ableton software
- Maybe a MIDIfighter as well

Any thoughts? tips? hints? tricks? doodahs? wickiwangers? bingbangs? made up words ftw?

Thanks
