Hey guys, my name is Kyle and I have been experimenting with
different online music makers cause I REALLY want to make
music, I love all electronic music and I would just like some
help getting started, I have little to no experience with making
music but I am a fast learner.

I would like to know how to make a song, beats, sounds, etc.

I don't have a good computer yet so it would help if any programs you advise
to me are free and not taxing on my system, obviously I know making music can take
a beast of a computer to do but I think I can manage.

I have tryed messing with a online music maker
called audiosauna, I don't really know what anything does though.

If anyone could help me get started making music it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED, thank you in advance.

Well, first, you should get a program capable of music making (a DAW, Digital Audio Workstation). Probably the most popular around here in FL Studio. The demo version is free and you can actually make tracks and export as wav or mp3, so you can share your creations here or just put on a CD and give to friends.
I personally use MuLab which has also a free version.

Knowing some basic music theory might help as well. On http://www.musictheory.net there are some easy to understand lessons and animated explanations as well as exercises that will help you.
