Welcome to our little corner of the interwebs, Louie.
That initial hump in the learning curve is a tough hill to climb (it gets easier!), and unfortunately most of the tutorial videos out there are for intermediate users. We try to be helpful here, but sometimes we do make assumptions about what others already know (guilty!). When I was an electronics instructor, I'd tell my students that if I ever talk over your head it's my fault, not yours. When that happens - and it will - stop me and demand a better explanation. Same goes here.
It would help us help you if you'd describe what kind of music you're into. For example, are you a singer-songwriter, an electronic dance music enthusiast, an orchestrator doing epic film scores, a trad-jazz musician, metalhead, folkie or rapper? Sure, all genres share commonalities. But learning to record straight audio versus learning MIDI-based virtual instruments, for example, those are two different cans of the proverbial worms.
