Sony Acid is a loop-based music composition software program that makes it easy for those with little music training to create original music compositions. Since the "sounds" are already provided as loops (for example, guitar, drums, saxophones, synthesizers), the 'composer' simply needs to arrange the sounds in an order that appeals to them.
It helps to know something about musical (song)
form, so that the compositions "make sense" in the end. A good way to do this is to listen to your favorite songs and keep track of what's going on. For example, is there an introduction? How many measures? What instruments are playing? Where does the Chorus start? How many measures is it? Etc...
