I thought I might want to try my hand at this kind of stuff. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to get started, even in terms of having the right software. I know Google exists, but there's a crapload of programs to choose from and I'm not sure which ones are the easiest to use or etcetera, and I figured it'd just be easier to ask anyone who does what software is good.

Also it would be nice if it were free. It's not really an issue in terms of getting my hands on it, but still.

But why?

Mixcraft is good. I think it's like $150 bucks or something but there's probably some kind of *ahem* special offers online that could help you with that.

if you want a sequencer use Fruityloops, Buzztracker or Cubase (but these are pay programs)

IF you want to get started with something, I reccomend modplug tracker! It's free and easy to use! It doesn't support VST plugins or anything but basically you grab any .wav (or lots of other formats) sound files and use them as instruments, and then you're off!

I use Modplug tracker when I just want to write something quick and fun, (But with some practice you can create very professional sounding songs) when I'm composing something seriously I'll use a sequencer like FL studio.

Using a sequencer like fruityloops will require more time and effort to produce something that sounds good

For examples of songs made in Modplug tracker, goto Modarchive.org,
all the songs there have been made by tracker

Definitely. IMO Logic is better with electronic music than Cubase. But Cubase if you have a PC (logic is mac only ). Logic is basically designed around sequencing and mixing, and it's a bit clumsy for audio editing (as opposed to Cubase, or Pro Tools)... but Logic's automation features, its ease of use with midi (matrix editor especially) and its plug-ins are WICKED. Almost every advanced music editing program takes a long time to learn, by the way, so keep that in mind when you're starting out.

The grammar is fine. He's asking if ICANN makes electronic music. Answer is no.

Ableton works really well with logic actually :O Sasha does that, and I'm pretty sure Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren do that too (judging from what they've talked about in their studio) ... it's actually becoming a bit of a trend within trance, I believe

Sasha uses Logic for sequencing his samples, and then uses Ableton to import those samples and edit them and mix them from there.
