General Advice

• Google is very useful. When in doubt, use it.
  
  
• If you find something cool, share! Often times,
  
  people will share things they've found in return.
  
  
• Pay attention to differences in 32 and 64 bit versions
  
  
• There are some plug-ins that aren't free, but aren't
  
  $50-100+ like the more popular ones. I have gotten
  
  plug-ins and bundles for just a few dollars.
  
  
• Music theory can greatly aid arrangement & composition!
  
  There are many free resources for it, as well.
  
  
• Don't be afraid to ask for help, or look up tutorials.
  
  While there are many paths to acheive the same result,
  
  some are much faster & efficient than others.
  
  It may not seem to matter much at first, but that time adds up.
  
  
• Don't give up! Unless you've a background in music,
  
  can learn quickly, or both, there's a good chance
  
  that you won't be making anything particularly good
  
  for at least a few months. There's obviously exceptions,
  
  but remember that being bad at something is the first step
  
  to getting kind of good at it.
