There are dozens of special synthesizer programs floating around the Internet called 'trackers' that are for making house and trance music!. They have instruments and you program short sequences and drum riffs and string them together!. Some are even free!. Google 'freeware softsynth' and you'll find them!.
There are other programs that cost money but have more capabilities!. Fruityloops is probably the most famous one!.
Where I live, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, there is a junior college with a curriculum in electronic music! Check around near you!. The equipment has gotten really cheap!
You should know about Audacity, a freeware audio recorder/editor/mixer!. The user interface is a little clunky but you can get started in computerized audio editing and mixing!.
If you're into Usenet, check out alt!.binaries!.multimedia!.utilities and alt!.binaries!.sound!.utilities!. Lots of good stuff shows up in these groups that you can download!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Start with something simple, like remixing with Virtual DJ !. Learn about beats, sounds, loops, and editing!. Then, you can move on to a better program, like Cubase and Cakewalk or FL Studios 7!. Download/borrow/buy as many VSTs and VSTis as your hard drive will allow, and spend a week or four playing around with them in different host applications to learn what kind of composition seems right for you!. Then you can focus on the applications/effects that'll give you the sounds you're looking for!.
You will need a lot of tracks, loops, drums and effects!. Get the largest hard drive you can to store your music (i started with 320GB, i am now up to 2TB (terabytes)!.
Then, start recording and knocking on doors, go to your local radio stations, send emails, send demos, make your MySpace page, and start getting noticed!.
After you start getting paid for your work, buy vinyl recordings of your favorite DJ's and look at them as an investment for your remixes!. Get a better program, amplifier, loops, drums, speakers, the best headphones you can pay, a microphone!.!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
