are you trying to look pro or sound pro? focus on learning ableton. you have enough to make quality tunes already.

1st Get good monitors,
2nd, get your room acoustics sorted out - go to sound on sound website and start reading posts about room acoustics, bass trapping etc. Build your own, its easy and you will save a fortune
3rd, Go and do some courses on production. / Buy tutorials, read as much as you can. Get mixing with your mind (book), get the mixing engineers hand book, buy Timotyhy Allen's beat maiking thing, read tarekiths mixing tutorials. Go to Tom Cosm's site and join up and do his tutiorials. Do a search on here for the audio tutorials website and watch all of them
4th Start spending money on gear once you have done all of the above (get good monitos and sort your room now though).

Read everything you can - SOund on Sound, Computer music (he's a beginner!), forums etc. Try to work with someone better than you and ask them what you need to do. Get some Ableton live lessons. pay a producer to take apart one of your tracks and re-balance it. Understand what they are doing. . .
