Basic is the how many notes you want to play in each measure and bulid from there. Check out the tweakheadz on how to bulid the measures into verses, chorus and so on. :D

A friend once told me that he never could really get a mix going in his
studio whereas his companion had the same setup except at his studio
(With the same speakers) they really could get things rockin'....All this is due to acoustics!!

Remember this: Every musical decision is made from the very first sound
you pull out of a keyboard, drummachine, whatever...You judge by what
you hear but if that's not to your liking (obviously by room colouration)
you may get dicouraged, and like you said want to give up!

Think about it and don't let nobody tell you to quit!!

Cheers!
