never tried it but i imagine you just make it your own way, use the equiptment u have and do it. . .

If you want to use software then you could check out Reason, it's pretty affordable and has everything built in. Samplers, synths, drum machines, mixer, sequencer. It's also pretty straight forward to use.

If you plan on using hard ware and plug ins then Ableton is a good choice.

it's not about what gear you use, it's how you use it

dubstep is all about shuffle.

I like slinky sounding dubstep x hip hop beats, but I wish people would end the trend of stabby meth ninja sounding dubstep. I believe most people use either ableton or reason with a midi control device for such composing but as stated above, you can use what you have already in your arsenal....which could lead to you starting the next big sound people will umbrella under until it becomes a genre. Good luck and have fun with the experimenting

i've read somewhere that producers like Benga or Ikonika used mostly Fruity Loops and Logic, if it can helps...

[Euclid Ov Oåklånd]

Thats right, I believe I saw a video of benga showing his process in FL and Logic, probably on IDM or Dubstep forum.

Logic is excellent value if you got a mac

But just getting started, why not use garageband and get a few synth plugins
