Okay, so I think it would be really fun to make music on my computer for a hobby, but I don’t know where to even begin.

Does anybody know how to go about doing this? I’ve got zero experience with any of this, and I have no instruments, etc. What would the first step be for me to do?

dont bother, you would just be another of millions of people doing nothing but pissing off those of us who can understand music to be more than just a past time. Do something aerobic like jazzercise cause you look like a fat pancake.

and where do you think music is going? There will always be a demand for actual instruments, but its a thing of the past. In 30 years most music will just be electronic

no, you are wrong. You are not meant to make music, it will just sound like crap and be a waste of peoples time to listen to so just dont do it. Do something else to prepare for your future like practice filing, or answering telephones or perhaps flipping burgers. If you were meant to make music you would just do it, not be a sheep tool and ask every other person how to do it. Moron.

hahahaha thats like the pot calling the kettle black. What dream did you have that someone stepped all over? or did you just never try? Who are you to say to anyone to give up on something they want to do? no one! some random jaded person on the internet. You are a very sad excuse for a helper. And I’m now calling you out on being a troll. And thats a real waste of time.

Mz. mo said it, do whatever makes you happy, that’s what matters in life :) I don’t think anyone started making music or singing the moment they were born, too.
