I've worked with MIDI software before, if you've heard of Garageband by Apple then you'd be familiar with the stuff I've tried out. I'll tell you this, those drums are terribly off, and the strings don't come in at the right time...as well as the piano. Everything is just a mess, it's not structured at all. You've got to work with timing/time signatures a little bit first. I play piano/keyboard and that's really helped me out as far as timing. Meh, everyone's got to start somewhere, good luck.
