     @meeper just bang you head against a tracker until you have something melodic and aesthetically pleasing, hell, if you're anything like my roommate, you can get on all the drugs and end up writing chiptune arranges of fascist anthems in no time at all

     @meeper more seriously tho, find your tool and just mess around with it. learn enough theory to get by but in no sense is things like learning to read sheet music necessary

     @meeper do you have access to a piano? I started a year ago by taking piano lessons and practicing on my own.
     
     For learning notes, there are a bunch of apps. I liked this one

     @allison @meeper regardless of style, i'd just dive heads first into https://reaper.fm if you're looking to do some stuff in a DAW
     
     if you're on windows or you're alright with fiddling with yabridge on linux, Spitfire Labs has a huge collection of sounds that can get you started composing music with good sounding pianos and alright strings etc: https://labs.spitfireaudio.com/
     
     other than those two, most of my experience is in making drum & bass / trance music / whatever electronic stuff
     
     if you wanna do audio synthesis, i highly recommend https://vital.audio
     
     there are tons of free drum samples online that are a quick google search away.
     
     tbh you don't really need to know sheet music to be a computer musician in 2024, but it still helps to know how to read it sometimes for sure. without any prior knowledge, a lot of midi editing can be done in a piano roll view, which is really intuitive. reaper has a sheet music view in its midi editor that you can switch to after using the piano roll too, so you can probably flip between the two and learn pretty quickly how to read Actual Music if you want.
