I've got some experience in audio such as audio equipment and audio editing. I'm working on a podcast and I've been trying to get some music for the opening and closing themes. What I've been doing is experimenting with cutting down songs for themes but it usually doesn't work too well. I've been forced to do this since I don't have a musical bone in my body. I've been told that its not too hard to learn how to make music and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest ways of learning how to read music and then take that and actually write a song. I'd also like to know what kind of equipment and programs I'll need since I'll primarily be doing techno.
