Hi everyone! Just stumbled across this forum. Looks like there's about a zillion tons of good info here. Been poking around, and I'm finding that even the posts from newbies regarding how to get started are quite over my head, so I guess I'm kind of an uber-newbie. Anyway, can anyone give me suggestions on books or other resources to learn the most basic of basics about MIDI and composing music digitally? I need to learn the terminology, what the various components are, software & hardware, all that kind of stuff. My interest is in composing music for film (and just for fun), with emphasis on symphonic stuff. I'm finding lots of mentions of things like ProTools, Digital Performer, Reason, Logic, etc etc etc, but I have no understanding of how all of these things relate, what's hardware vs. software, or any of the terminology. I'll continue poking around in here to try and learn, but so far it's all Greek to me. I'm looking to put together a little digital studio to play around with, but am afraid that all of this will be waaay outta my price range. Is it reasonable to be able to start playing around, from scratch, for less than $5,000? Is this even a valid question? I'm an ex-engineer and network architect with reasonable knowledge, so I'm not put off by technical obstacles, but making music on computers is new for me. If anyone can point me in the right direction of a basic primer of the nuts and bolts of all of this, I'd really appreciate it!  Thanks! Joel
