Where Do I Even Start?

MuseScore.org LMMS
  1. Create, play back and print beautiful sheet music with free and easy to use music notation software MuseScore. For Windows, Mac and Linux.
    On the software end of things, there's loads of great freeware to work with while you learn the ropes (and maybe even after that, too)! You'll turn up quite a few of them with a bit of research, but there's a few I can recommend right off. Audacity is nothing fancy but it is a reliable, well-supported workhorse of a program with straightforward controls and heaps of plugins. LMMS is pretty much the go-to free DAW at this point, and has a large community that can help out new users. If you're more notationally-minded, MuseScore is a delight; version 4.0 just came out earlier this year, and per usual it's lacking some features it had in previous versions, but also per usual those issues are supposed to be ironed out over the next few updates.
