Hey guys we're working on a guide for Music composers

Hey, guys!
We're working on a new guide for aspiring composers, but we really don’t want to leave anything out. So I’m doing a little investigation: Feel free to leave what you consider to be your BIGGEST questions about music making/composition --no matter how silly you think they sound
(You composers out there can even comment on topics you think folks should know.)
For helping out, I'll send you a copy of the guide when it's done

How do I get my [insert any midi controller here] to make sounds?

Composers? Are you referring to the arrogant bums that hang around here and make beats and consider themselves "composers", or are you talking about legitimate composition students that study at a university??
