How to start making music with a computer

I go over the basic concepts and hardware/software you might need to get started making music with a computer. This is geared towards beginners. I'll talk about the workflow as well as audio interfaces and DAWs. You don't need much to get started and ultimately gear doesn't matter when you first get started.

As promised, here's a list of various interfaces, DAWs and MIDI controllers.
