First of all thanks for taking the time and writing and detailed reply!
I've done the tutorials already, so yeah probably I will look at the synths and rums next. And from there work my up. Someone else suggested me getting a book? Should I maybe get this? http://www.amazon.com/Ableton-Live-Power-Comprehensive-Guide/dp/1285455401/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368213680&sr=8-2&keywords=Ableton+9

It's the first result on amazon, the book for Ableton 8 had an average of 4stars, so I'm not sure.

And about what I want to make, that's another problem. I am not quite sure right now. I wanted to start producing because I really enjoy music, and playing the piano. And there's a lot of music I enjoy, but I'm not sure if this is the music I want to make myself.
I don't know if this makes sense, and I tried to express myself as good as possible. But english isn't my naitive tounge though :/

Also, thanks again! :D

Give the trial a try. If you decide to stick with it, I highly recommend this book, it helped me learn ableton in a couple weeks. http://www.amazon.com/dp/1285455401

All of the DAW software does more or less the same thing. Reaper is great value but I wouldn't say it's intuitive to use as a beginner. But try out a few of them and see which one fits your way of thinking and doing things. I don't mean right away, but when you feel you're reaching the limits of what you already have. And don't feel like you have to follow an optimum path, find what's fun for you and you'll learn it as you go without even trying.

Regarding learning, I prefer books and magazines tbh. When I started seriously using Ableton I got this great book as a reference. I dunno if you'd find something similar for Music Maker, but I recommend reading the manual. Pick a concept or a device (like e.g today I'll mess with EQ's, or compressors, or samplers, or whatever), read up on it and then just experiment. You can't break anything. The concepts aren't hard to grasp if you have a good mental image of what's happening, and the experimentation will create those mental images. You'll reach a stage where you have a good idea of what turning any knob or clicking any button will do. You'll know what the manual says it does, and you'll know what it sounds like 'cos you already experimented.

That's really if you want to make your own music, if you prefer to mix and DJ that's an extra set of skills. But yeah make use of Youtube. I generally search using keywords and watch the first minute of a few videos until I find one that clicks with me. If the presenter is saying things like "You're gonna wanna turn this to 0.63" with no explanation of why, I go to the next video.
