Only if you want to record MIDI keyboard.

What soundcard do you have?

I have ATI 1GB in my pc

That's a video card.

If you want to record audio and play audio you need a soundcard. If you want decent quality you need something better than the soundcard embedded on your mobo.

Oh, I see excuse me for my ignorance. I was thinking about getting the M-Audio fast track pro. What do you think of the M-Audio Oxygen 49 for me as a noob?

ATI HD AUDIO, SRS Premium Sound Is my sound card. The model of my Laptop is ASUS N61Jq, Intel i7 CPU, 8GB RAM

your sound card doesn't really matter like c7sus said - to record an external audio source you need an interface. https://homerecording.com/bbs/gener...ltitrack-computer-interface-recording-323561/

If you just want to play the VST synths in Abelton then you can use any keyboard with a midi out...

Cheers mate! DO you recomend the M-audio Oxygen 49? ANd do I need an Analogue Mixer or a Drum Machine?
