Hi, i am an amateur musician, though i have spent great part of my childhood studying music it didn't teached me how to compose modern music: basically it could be summarized in orientations about selecting the best instruments for combining or ensembling all joint, and guidelines about how to do it or perhaps better said about what can't be done.
It could be mainly a question of good music sense, a certain aptitude, and experience, but also there may be something written about (book, inet..) which starting from.
I am really nebbie in digital music production (i have started with Sonar - Cakewalk), and sometimes i lose my bearings by the minute.
Thanks in advance for any help.
