Anyone know of good guides on making this kind of music? I've tried looking into it and there are just so many options and esoteric knowledge of synths and software required that's it seems hard to get started. I've bought several MIDI keyboards that all turned out to be junk and tried several DAWs that were very unintuitive, I'd like to know the best way for a beginner to get into it

You can find quite a lot here https://www.lynda.com/Ableton-Live-training-tutorials/139-0.... The link is for Ableton, but you can find the courses for other DAWs there.

I started with Ableton a few years ago, because it is widely used for electronic music production. Also, my employer provided 50% discount on Ableton products :)

I’d like to also recommend this book https://www.amazon.de/Dance-Music-Manual-Rick-Snoman/dp/0415... if you are interested in theory.

Have a look at some of Tom Cosm’s tutorials, and Ableton.
