Note: I'm a total noob, I don't know the vocabulary so I'm having a difficult time googling the information I need.
Basically I've been playing around on an iPad app (Auxy) for a while and am enjoying it a lot, I've also been watching youtube videos on music theory, EDM production, etc.. I'd like to step it up a bit and start learning a DAW. I've downloaded Reaper, FL Studio (Free), and I am about to download Abelton (free trial). I'm mainly focusing on Reaper since it's free and I can actually save my projects unlike FL free trial.
All I'm wanting to do is play around with the Piano Roll and create some simple music, then learn the more complex stuff as I go along. In FL I can play around with a few sounds, samples, noises, etc that are already included (I can only find 4), but in Reaper I cannot find a single "sound" at all.
I have no instruments, keyboards, MIDI device, or gear at all. Just my computer.
Basically I want to play around and have it look like this: [img]http://howtomakeelectronicmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Chord-Pattern-Ready.jpg[/img]
