go into your local bookstore-with-a-computing-section. using audio
sequencers/DAWs will likely have at least 1, perhaps 3-4 shelf-loads of
books on using Sonar, ProTools, Cubase, Nuendo etc. you can sign up at
an audio engineering school to do 1-3 year courses in this stuff. its
*not* simple, its *not* trivial and its not condensable into a HOWTO.

that doesn't mean that there isn't room for some good introductory
material. just don't expect it to instantly bring you up to date quickly
on a field where many people (though a dramatically declining number)
continue to make a decent living because of their knowledge.
