try to mimik one of your fav. tracks. maybe first try to reproduce part of the drum pattern with any daw. then you could try to do the same with the baseline, the melody, effects... just playing around. no need to match the exact sound designs.

use simple (caustic3) or cheap software at first (reaper) you later will know what exactly your needs will be. this are just some starting points. i am at your same situation: i have almost no clue about music theory nor i do play a real instrument but i do have a simple midi keyboard just to have a tactile direct access.

one a while i look for YT-advice.

Especially for caustic3 there is a good YT series explaining the basic machines used for electronic music.
