Here is a walkthrough of how I make digital tunes and soundtracks for my YouTube videos.
I'm still grasping at the fundamentals of "music theory", so this is all very basic and involves a lot of trying to rely on my ear... which may not be nearly as refined as yours. :)

SOFTWARE TOOLS USED:
REAPER: https://www.reaper.fm/
UVI TOY SUITE: https://www.uvi.net/toy-suite.html
(This retails for $400, but can be had for a quarter of the price during a good sale.)
UVI DARKLIGHT II:https://www.uvi.net/en/vintage-synth/...
(Again - try to catch it on sale!)
COSMOS SAMPLE FINDER: https://www.waves.com/plugins/cosmos-...
(SORRY! Was FREE when I got it! Fluctuates between $15, $30, and FREE.)
